It was shut yesterday and I’m hearing rumours it is permanent. What is going on? Drapers, Inspire, Squirrel all closed in last few weeks? Too much of a coincidence?

A response to one user's tweet said how strange the announcement was.

Sad to hear that Drapers Bar & Kitchen in Coventry seems to have permanently closed as of today. They always had some interesting beers on and no-nonsense good value food. A loss to the Cov scene as one of the few places serving more modern beer styles.
