The pub in Tvøroyri was located in one of three 186-year-old buildings which were recently granted listed status

But on Friday 27 May, Tvøroyri’s annual Night of Culture, many people dropped by to enjoy a last pint as the historic pub closed for good, according to newspaper Dimmalætting.

The pub management has not requested to renew its rental of the 186-year-old building, and Tvøroyri Town Council, which owns the building, has decided to use the premises for other purposes.
