Stores in The Capitol confirmed; Oyster Tavern to reopen

Global 21st-century tech giant Facebook, along with Chinese firm Huawei and US cyber security company Alien Vault, are to keep company with a repolished Cork pearl, the 18th century-founded Oyster Tavern, as the line-up for the city centre’s €50m Capitol shops, office and bar development is confirmed.

Taking on the reboot of the famed, 1700s-founded Oyster Tavern after a €1.5m fit-out is Dublin-based publican and restaurateur Alan Clancy, whose ventures include House, The Ivy and 37 Dawson Street in Dublin, as well as super-pub House in Limerick, previously the Sin Bin.
