Looks like that Starbucks in Howth isn't long for this world:

Still there, still one of the dirtiest Starbucks I was ever in...

Update -

Minetta didn't open in this premises.
A "Tapas" restaurant called Boqueria did.
Expensive.
Closed in last few weeks...

not really surprising it closed, its a crap location and any business that needs footfall going in to that building is doomed from day 1. Parents went to try it one night and werent impressed by it at all. Said it was expensive and the "tapas" was mediocre

As for starbucks wonder how it will last through the winter seeing as all the foreign students will be gone home soon, they seemed to be the only who went near the place any time i passed during the summer. the locals dont even bother with it. See though theres a new bright shiny dont forget your sunglasses ice cream parlour opened in last while beside Il Panorama

Have to try it yet - waiting on a Summer's day...

Is there something else now in the place beside the Abbey Graveyard? You would think someone would buy it and convert it into a house, as it's obvious that it will fail

tricky D

30 Church St is the name of the place.

Parking is poor as is footfall and the building is freezing in winter.

Any business opening there is going to have big challenges.
