Owner negotiating to keep crobar open
- restaurant manager

CROBAR, a popular Restaurant and Bar located at 33 Carlos Street, Woodbrook, was one of the properties on a list of nine earmarked for demolition by the Port of Spain City Corporation (PoSCC).

When TnT Mirror visited the premises, the owner was not present but someone claiming to be the manager admitted that the owner had received the notice and is currently in negotiations with PoSCC.

The manager said: “When the notice came out in the newspapers, our customers started asking us if the place was really going to be broken down.

“However, at this stage I really don’t know what will be the outcome.

“If we are forced to move then that is what we will have to do; but we are hoping it doesn’t reach that drastic point.”

Meanwhile, one concerned nearby resident alleged that ever since the pub was opened some years ago, the once quiet residential area has been filled with noise pollution and other discrepancies.

The elderly resident related that another pub had opened at the exact spot a few years earlier, but was closed down as residents complained about the rude conduct of the pub’s “rowdy clientele”.

The woman told Mirror: “This is a residential area and when the first pub was opened, we used to catch hell to sleep at night because of the ruckus the customers used to be making.

“I remember one time I was awakened by the sound of loud laughter outside my house around three one morning.

“When I ran out to see what was going on, I saw a young man pissing in my front yard and his friends were using profane language and laughing.

“The group of youngsters seemed drunk, so I quickly returned to my bed.”

The woman said she was full of joy when the first pub was closed down, and contended that crobar was beginning to pull the same type of crowd.
