Legendary Tipperary bar will close on New Year's Eve due to the retirement of proprietors

The legendary Princess Bar in Irishtown Clonmel, is to close on New Year’s Eve.

Tim and Lucy Clarke are closing the Princess after 39 years in business in Clonmel.

“We had a wonderful time in Clonmel but it is time for us to retire now, and we want to embrace retirement. Clonmel was a great town for us. Our customers’ lives were our lives as well. People were so good to us,” said Lucy.

Tim and Lucy hosted their final Christmas Party at the Princess and a great night was had by all.

Mayor of Clonmel Cllr Pat English said the closure was another big loss to the town and to the Irishtown area.

“The Clarkes were well-liked, and the people of the town had great time for them. A lot of people will be sorry to see it go,@ he said.

Tim and Lucia sent a message of thanks to all of their customers and the people of Clonmel for their support.

“We held our annual Christmas Party, and what a night it was. We hope everyone enjoyed it as much as we did.

Since 1987, the Princess Bar has been our home. Over the years we’ve shared so many great nights, made lifelong friends, and built memories we’ll always treasure.

Now the time has come for us to hang up the keys and embrace retirement.

The Princess Bar will close its doors to the public for the final time on 31st December 2025.

We want to sincerely thank each and every one of you for the support, laughter, chats, and craic over the years. Without you, the Princess Bar simply wouldn’t have been what it was.

Thank you all, from the bottom of our hearts,” said Timothy and Lucy Clarke.
