Giant British pub chain plans Cork city move
According to additional information provided to Cork City Council, the development will consist of the amalgamation of the existing four-storey building at 6/7 Paul Street and the existing 3 storey building on 15/16 Carey’s Lane to provide a single pub, thanks to internal modifications on each floor including the removal and rearrangement of walls and staircases, the relocation of a passenger lift, and the change of use at 1st and 2nd floor of 6/7 Paul Street from restaurant to pub use.
It is also planned to change the use of 15/16 Carey’s Lane from Nightclub to Pub, and to open pavement cafes at ground floor level on Carey’s Lane and Paul Street.
The British pub giant has spent €2.38m developing the site of the former Tonic Bar, in Temple Road, Blackrock in Dublin, but has controversially decided against stocking Guinness.
That pub, called the Three Tun Tavern, will open next Tuesday, bringing 60 jobs, and will stock Murphys and Beamish instead.
