Friends, family, loyal customers: as most of you will be well aware, Desmond’s Tavern is now permanently closed. It’s been a long and eventful 32 years, but it’s time to hand over the reigns. In our place is now M’s Tavern, keeping the tradition of there being a bar at this location for almost 90 years.

We will forever cherish the friendships and memories we have made over the years, and wish all of you the very best in all your endeavors. Cheers!
