Bar George closes down

A city centre bar in Douglas has closed down after its owner said it never properly recovered after the pandemic.

Damian Hawley of Bar George announced Saturday was the bar's last night of trading.

He said after eight years running the venue on Hill Street, he'd made the decision with a heavy heart.

On Facebook, he said the hospitality industry was going through tough times and there'd been a double whammy of huge price rises for energy and supplies.
