Tipperary Inn closing (again)

by PegNews wire

DALLAS — We first heard rumblings of this on Twitter today, but tonight the official word came out:

Dear Friends of the Tipperary:

It is with heavy heart that I announce the closing of "theTipp" this Saturday, May 16th.

I very much would like to take the opportunity to say thank you to all of the wonderful customers, groups, associations and musical talent we have had the pleasure of meeting and working with these past five years. As you all know, the Tipp has been my family run business and many of you have gotten to know not only myself, but that of my wife Ellen, daughter Beth and granddaughter Meghan who have been regular fixtures at the pub.

Due to the downturn in the economy with declines in sales and an unsuccessful lease renegotiation, we have decided to close our doors. These past five years have been a great experience for us. We have met and have special relationships with so many wonderful people here - we will greatly miss you all. We will certainly treasure many of the memories and special occasions that we have hosted at the pub.

We will finish up the week with our normal schedule of events including Monday Karaoke, Tuesday Trivia, Wednesday Poker, Friday night with Paddy Gone Wild and Saturday host The Trinity River Whalers CD release party. We hope to see you this week here at the Tipp.

Sincerely,

Tim (& Ellen Russi)

Gotta say, I agree with Eric's take here:

The food, in particular, had gotten pretty awful.

I will miss Bloodsport Trivia, though.

I do like their trivia format; it's faster paced than, for instance, The Flying Saucer's.

But the Tipp is always just a bit too far to make the trek out to for us, and I remember it being sort of pricey. Nevertheless, I'm always sorry to see a bar close down.

Looks like the walking distance trifecta has been dropped to two. Will this pack the Landing? I guess we'll see...

Had many a good Monday night at the tipp watching the Karaoke. The cool black guy who sang the old soul, the guy who sang songs from Phantom of the Opera, and Joellen. Great bartenders and nice atmosphere. Hope they open again, again.
