Now opened as a bar called 'Tonic'. No connection with the previous owners.

The building has been expanded across what was the open terrace. I will see if I can get a picture over this weekend.

I've often called in to Merlins for one for the road but it was never a large place. I'll be interested to have a look when I'm out in May.

Definite signs of progress at Merlins's, with new windows installed. I wil try to get some pictures later this week. Won't be down there in daytime until perhaps Thursday or Friday.

The actual Paragrafo building is empty and shuttered. Meanwhile nothing is happening at Merlins.

Yes Dock 7 is where Saad Concept bar was towards the far end near Fat Cats and Sharkys. It hasn't lasted long I think only 2 years since it opened.
Also Paragrafo bar which used to be right on the near end where all the boat trips go from, this closed at the end of December as the owner Carlos was 75 and wanted to retire. As it has such a great position for footfall as all ther people get off the boats and many just hit the first bar. I assumed it would soon re-open as something else, but the terrace which is a double terrace has this week been occupied by Gate 4 bar which previously had no terrace as it joins on to the segway and bike square with no decking.
