Cork's Angler’s Rest a fine catch at €680k

Famed Cork bar, the Leeside Angler’s Rest, has been put on the open market all ready for new owners and drive, carrying a €680,000 asking price. 

Selling agent Darragh Taaffe, of Keane Mahony Smith, describes it as “an iconic and renowned landmark hospitality premises, with majestic riverfront location.” It’s all that, and more, with a roadside tavern pedigree stretching back 200 years, and a beer garden running to the river’s edge, popular for decades before the smoking ban made such outdoor amenities de rigueur.

The Angler’s Rest has immediate scope for reinvention and renewal, set between Ballincollig and Blarney, on a popular tourist route west and to Blarney, at the confluence of the River Shournagh and River Lee.
