Jade Tavern Closes

[magictomb]

Just heard this news and was seeking confirmation. Has the jade itself closed or just given away with poker? (Where are all the tables for sale?)

Big thank you to Pauly for all the fun times and hospitality if this is the case, shame to see a room that was running this long depart the poker scene.

It is with great sadness that I am announcing that the Jade Tavern will not be opening its doors from today. The past few weeks have been fantastic with the Rugby World Cup but the owners and myself agree that the foreseeable future is bleak not just for our hotel but for the industry. With Labors pre-committment scheme possible, no smoking, council red tape, liquor and gaming taxes strangling the pub industry many small venues are closing up or selling up.

I would like to thank my bar staff, poker staff, abscs committee, family and friends for all their support over the 6 years I have been here to help make our little secret (Jade Tav) a well known community venue. All staff and management will be placed throughout the rest of our group of hotels where possible.

I would also like to thank our owner Nick B, ops manager Scott, and my fellow licensees for your advice, help and assistance over the years.

One door closes, and another opens. I hope that the good times at Jade are not forgotten.

Signing off - Paul....

Man when I was first discovering poker I used to walk down from work and play the Friday night tourney in suit and tie till the early hours, drink that Wild Turkey American Honey you always had on special and eat ur cheap hotdogs..definitely one of the formative experiences of me becoming a full-time player Sad to see you having to wrap it up, gl in your future endeavours mate.

Thanks for the nice words guys. The pub has closed but we may be able to revive the poker nearby pretty soon if the planets align....

I will also miss the great customers that popped into the venue from time to time. Let's hope that other door opens soon.

Paul, your willingness to listen/adapt to your customer base will ensure your success in whatever your future endeavours may entail.

Thanks for all the great times down at the Jade, catch up soon mate.

I hadn't been to jade for a while then for some reason Friday just passed I caught a train ($3 beers would definitely result in me losing my license or worse) and speed walked to try and get my early bird chips.

I was quite disappointed with the small a4 signage, I could hardly make sense of the details as my eyes flooded with tears.

Paul, Harry & co. thanks for the good times, job well done and like stated above I'm sure success will follow you to the next endevour.
