A €5 million expansion programme will see the opening of two new wine bars in the Docklands area, generating over 100 new jobs within the next couple of months. Ely-chq (in the Customs House Quay building) opened yesterday, while Ely-hq (Hanover Quay) will open in the Autumn.

Both are owned by Erik and Michelle Robson — owners of the original Ely Wine Bar in Dublin’s Ely Place.
