A CRUMLIN restaurant and bar is to close its doors at the end of the month after three-and-a-half years serving the local community.
The Crooked Glen will close on October 30.
Owners Laurence and Damien Burns cited the effects of the pandemic and rising costs for the pending closure.
"After three-and-a-half fun-filled years we are closing the doors," explained Laurence.
"Due to the debt accrued during the pandemic, the rising costs of doing business, the energy costs and rising cost of materials we unfortunately have struggled to make our business work.
"At this time we would like to take this opportunity to thank some people. Firstly our suppliers with whom we wouldn’t have lasted as long as we did.

"Lastly to our staff, you really are the lifeblood of The Crooked Glen, a family, a space to come and where the craic was endless. Damien and myself are forever in your debt.
