A popular Galway restaurant has said its “long goodbye” to its customers in an emotional statement as it closes its doors after 27 years.
Off The Square in Clifden has closed its doors for good.
In a post on social media, they said they were “full of memories and emotions” as they said their “long goodbye.”
They announced in August that they would be closing their doors on September 13.
Today, they vacated the premises all together.
They said: “This is the long goodbye.
“The past week has been full of memories and emotions.
“We wish the next custodians every success and hope the place brings them as much happiness as it brought us.
“Until we pop up again, It has been a pleasure to serve you.”
We reported in August how owners P.J. and Maureen Heffernan confirmed the closure, describing it as a bittersweet moment for the pair.
They thanked their “incredible staff” and their friends and customers “from both near and far” over the past near-three decades.
The Central House in Clifden, who are neighbours of Off The Square, have wished the team every success in the future.
“Every ending marks the beginning of a new chapter,” they said.
“After 27 wonderful years in business, our neighbours at Off the Square will be closing their doors this Sunday.”
“From all of us at The Central House Clifden, we would like to wish the entire team every success and happiness for the future.”
“Thank you for everything you have brought to Clifden over the years. You will be greatly missed.”
