Tally Ho for city landmark Fox & Hounds

One of Cork’s oldestlandmark pubs — along with acres of land which were at the centre of a long and protracted planning battle for a major retail use pitched at a Tesco store — has come up for sale.

The Fox & Hounds is guided at €2.5 million by agents Seamus Costello and Frank Ryan of Cushman & Wakefield, and the proposed sale has several strings to its bow, including other development potential proposals.

It last sold publicly back in 2004, when it fetched c €4 million and featured as one of the biggest Cork suburban bar sales of the period, bought by a group with other Cork bar interests.
