After a closure that lasted 10 years, the Savoy in Cork is to be reborn as a live music venue and cultural space. Local promoters the Good Room are working in conjunction with building owners Clarendon Properties to relaunch the venue on Valentine’s Weekend.

With the rest of the building now developed for retail and residential use, future event-goers will enter the building via a new doorway on Drawbridge Street, around the corner from the traditional Patrick’s Street entrance.
