One of Ranelagh’s most loved pubs is closing down ‘with immediate effect’

A sad day.

It's always sad to see a popular spot close down and the latest to shut its doors is The Hill pub in Ranelagh. Taking to Twitter this morning, the institution announced the news, saying that it was due to "circumstances beyond our control." The tweet read: "Due to circumstances beyond our control the Hill Pub has closed with immediate effect. We would like to thank all of our wonderful customers over the last few years, you have all been amazing."

Dear All, Due to circumstances beyond our control the Hill Pub has closed with immediate effect. We would like to thank all of our wonderful customers over the last few years, you have all been amazing.

It's clear from the comments under the post that the pub will be missed by locals, and indeed, customers from the wider Dublin area:

I’m very sorry to read this. I’ve had some great evenings there. Mind yourself.
