Units being ‘eaten up’ on MacCurtain St

LOTS of units are moving on Cork City’s MacCurtain Street in the run up to Christmas.

All set to open a new food-and-wine bar, in front of his Greene’s restaurant, is proprietor Richard Evans, who has taken on the lease of No 48A, previously occupied by Lynes and Lynes antiques, who’ve relocated to Carrigtwohill.

Mr Evans recently got planning permission for a food-and-wine bar as an extension of Greene’s restaurant, one of the city’s mostly quirkily located eateries. It has a waterfall tumbling down a sandstone cliff face behind the street, but possibly suffers low visibility, as it has no street presence. Now, the new unit at 48A will serve as an entree to this main, larger restaurant behind.
