Closed: Metro 17 in Wexford

Metro 17, a bar on Commercial Quay in Wexford Town, opened in September 2009 and closed in 2015.

It operated during a deep recession when popular nightclubs were frequently closing.

Before Metro 17, the building was home to Shooters, a small bar with a pool table and a darts board.

Shooters had a casual atmosphere and served pitchers and cocktails. Many customers would drink there before heading to the Centenary Stores.

Metro 17 hosted screenings of major boxing matches and the 2014 World Cup. The venue used the projector for big sporting occasions.

The building lay vacant until it was purchased by the owners of the adjacent Crown Bar, later becoming part of the pub. It is now a live venue called the Crown Live, which hosts musicians and comedians.
