It was their policy of not charging for any drinks that did for them, and saying that there would be enough for all, no matter how many guests.
The lack of a beachfront was also a problem.

Last Christmas, I gave them my heart. The very next day they told me on the quiet they were closing. This year, to save the staff from tears, I am going to give my affections to a really special venue.
I went there once, was bitten by the bug but was a bit shy. I stayed a long way away but the venue still caught my eye. The card-room maanger didn't recognise me but it was a tough year so it didn't surprise me.

dont think we should speculate until its confirmed imo, careless whispers can be so damaging.
