CARRYING one of the stronger Cork city bar price expectations for some time is the Washington Street area’s James Street 1767 Late Bar & Restaurant — a 6,500 sq ft complex with dual street frontage and previously known as The Bailey.

While word is still awaited on who makes up the consortium in the final stages of the €2 million purchase of the 12,000 sq ft Treacy’s bar and restaurant in Cork’s Ballincollig for receivers Grant Thornton, its selling agent brings two more Cork bars to the open market.
