Popular bar announces closure on social media

A popular Co Down bar and restaurant has announced it is closing with a “heavy heart”.

Boyles of Dromore has been owned by Damien Carson for a number of years and is a family-run business which prides itself on locally sourced food.

But in a post shared on social media, the closure of the popular venue on Castle Street was announced.

It’s been a fixture in the town for over 250 years.

“Well Folks, not the news I thought I’d ever have to say, but unfortunately due to circumstances of late and out of my control, it is with the HEAVIEST OF HEARTS that I tell you Boyles won’t be reopening again.”

It continues: “I’d firstly like to thank my staff for all of their effort and hard work.

“And to you the customers, thank you for all the support over the past 12 years.

“A lot of you have become very good friends of mine and part of the family. I can’t thank you enough from the bottom of my heart. Thanks for everything.”

It was confirmed those who have vouchers valid between July 2023 and January 2024 will be fully refunded and refunds can be collected from the restaurant between January 20 and January 27 between noon and 4pm.
