Saw a rumor that it is closing in next couple weeks. Say it ain't so!
Irish Lion Closing?
- Thread starter twenty02
- Start date
Let’s get a group together and buy it. Call it The Water Cooler. Let goat run it. Stoll keep the books
My uncle managed our restaurant with a lot of assistance from my parents. He hated how close I tracked things. He always took it personal. I didn’t trust him anymore than the rest of the employees around all that cash. Those were the days before debit cards.
As long as Stoll’s IT guy keeps the theories going, I’m in.
I had the best piece of saddle blister steak there about 17 yrs ago. Maybe it hadn't gotten any better.
I assume you saw it on Reddit since that is where I saw it. The owner started looking to sell 2 years ago according to an HT article posted there.
I suppose that means I’m out as bartender. I wouldn’t touch the cash, but we may have a problem with that “liquidity” on the shelves. 🤣

If you put up the money, I'll move to Btown tomorrow to run it for you.
It’s been around for 40 years which shows it’s next to impossible to lose money in the restaurant business
Make it a sea themed place, Irish Seahorse? Kids could saddle up aloha and ride him around for a bit.
Just in the concept stage right now, it may evolve.
So they want cash but to keep it as Irish Lion and maintain the existing management team and staffOn the Menu: Irish Lion celebrates its 40th year as search for successor begins

That was two years ago. They probably would be a bit more flexible now.
Do some local research in your free time and get us a price....
Imagine ponying up dough and the conditions are you have to look at Martha and her crew of old bags who’ve been working there for fifty years. Uhhhh. No.
With the number of lawyers here, you think you can't find a way to get out of those requirements???
Puh-leaze. We can drag CoH out of retirement and it's a done deal.
You need a couch?
Old friend was a bartender there for a while. I spent many nights starting a night at the Lion. Sad.
2025 Update: New Irish Lion ownership group bogged down in employment discrimination litigation quagmire
"Anyone wanting to inquire about owning the Irish Lion can contact Dave Miller of Comprehensive Business Brokers at 812-330-7566 or dmiller@compbb.com."
Why don’t you just handle recruiting. Let twenty deal with hiring.
F you. Hiring is literally the only bit of this that interests me. Albeit greatly
Facebook post from Irish Lion said they were going to delivery only. Pffft. Closed before the end of the year with that business model.
Just thinking about this actually happening is giving me morning wood.
It’s a project son. No clue how it will end. But we would get laid.
Can it be a bar from noon to 2am, a dance club from 2-6 am ( run by Uncle Mark and Marv) and a coffee shop from 6-am to noon?
Mark and Marv? Really? It'd be like a pair of cheap underwear, no ballroom.
Allow me to provide the most likely outcome.
Within a month of running we will only hear from twenty through his counsel. Who will be a jackoff.
Stoll will be in Naples and impossible to reach so receipts will just start getting kept in Kroger bags
Goat will turn out like the bear. Making super fancy shit we can’t pronounce and college kids won’t want
Joe will be there every day and somehow have a tab
Mark will be cemented at the end of the bar. Drinking and we think possibly living there
I’ll have a College chick with mental health issues pregnant.
Spartans will be selling adderal behind the restaurant and making triple the revenue the restaurant makes
Brad will get served during dinner rush with divorce papers
Marv will bring in his D&D crew and be permanently banned
Lars will show up for champions league after lunch and just order tea
I could go on and on
