\n Gareth Maguire has purchased the pub from previous owner Pat Blake and The Impartial Reporter understands he has big plans for its future.\n<\/p>\n
\n One plan will be the renaming of the pub to become Maguire’s Derrylin.\n<\/p>\n
\n The Derrylin native says he is \u2018very excited\u2019 by what the future holds and says it \u2018has always been a dream\u2019 of his to own his own pub.\n<\/p>\n
\n And he was keen to own it in Derrylin. The pub is his own business venture and the rest of the band aren\u2019t involved in the ownership.\n<\/p>\n
\n Blake\u2019s Bar, which has been established for more than a century, is a popular venue within Derrylin.\n<\/p>\n
\n A spokesperson for the Blake family said they are now looking at other business opportunities after selling.\n<\/p>\n
\n The spokesperson continued: \u201cIt has been under discussion for many months and it is an exciting business proposition for Gareth Maguire.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cHe has dramatic plans for a revamp of the pub and we wish him all the best for the future.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cIt is the end of an era in Derrylin.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gareth Maguire has purchased the pub from previous owner Pat Blake and The Impartial Reporter understands he has…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":391235,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[93,61,60],"class_list":{"0":"post-391234","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-ie","10":"tag-ireland"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/391234","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=391234"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/391234\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/391235"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=391234"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=391234"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=391234"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
