Shane Lynch's The Rusty Shamrock Closes

D13, an Irish pub in Knutsford, Cheshire, originally opened by Boyzone's Shane Lynch in April 2021, has closed its doors following a property repossession by the landlord in December 2024. The venue, which was rebranded as The Rusty Shamrock in July 2023, became a beloved spot known for its vibrant atmosphere and unique features, such as the popular 'Guinness Garden.' Despite its success and community support, the closure marks the end of an era for the local nightlife. A notice on the establishment announced the forfeiture of the lease, but landlords have confirmed that a new tenant is already secured, with plans to reopen the bar by February 2025. The reasons for the closure have not been disclosed, but the pub's legacy continues through the fond memories of its patrons. Shane Lynch expressed bittersweet sentiments about the closure, recognizing the pub's significance to the community.
