A well-known pub in Gedling looks to have closed its doors for the final time after being put up for sale.
The Phoenix pub briefly reopened late last year after being shutdown while a new landlord was found.
But it now seems the pub will close for good after the current tenants announced they would be leaving and the brewery announced it was on the market.
A post on the pub’s Facebook page reveals the venue closed down on January 19.
The post reads: “It is with great sadness I have to inform you that the Phoenix will close its doors for the last time this Sunday, so let’s make sure this weekend is a weekend to (try) and remember.”
After readers contacted us asking about the pub’s future, we contacted the Ei Publican Partnership who revealed it’s fate.
A spokesman told Gedling Eye: “As part of our on-going business, we do from time to time identify a pub that may no longer have a long-term future in our estate.
“After careful consideration, the decision has been made to sell the freehold of the Phoenix, Gedling.”
On previous occasions, a new manager had been sought to take over the pub, but it seems this time the owners want the property off their hands.
Local resident Andy Moss, said: “I’m very sad to see the Phoenix closing again. This pub was the heart of the community when I was growing up in Gedling and I made many lasting friends in there. It is a shame what is happening to local pubs
