Cost of living crisis forces Douglas bar closure

A popular bar in Douglas says it'll close its doors for the last time at the end of this month.

JC's Bar and Restaurant opened in 2019 after its owners took over Da Vincis on North Quay.

However, the venue says its costs have risen by 23 per cent in the last year, while customer numbers have dropped by around 40 per cent as the cost of living crisis bites.

There'll be a final closing-down party for two days from Saturday, August 26 before the business closes on Monday, August 28.
