Horseshoe Inn sales pitch

After a period of extra time in the bar trade at Cork city’s legendary soccer pub dug-out, long-time publican Neil Murphy and family are calling game over at The Horsehoe Inn — a bar that spills over into the 7,500 person capacity FAI stadium at Turners Cross.

It was last put up for sale in 2007, guiding €1.75m with development potential being promoted as an attribute.

Now, while still enjoying a great location practically as part of the Munster FAI’s pitch patch (it’s said a player could almost order a pint while taking a corner) it’s now priced at €350,000 by agent and bar specialist Cearbhall Behan who notes that “uniquely it includes a portion of the football grounds in the sale, including a vehicular access point on to Curragh Road adjoining the premises.”
