    Noticed today (because of stories online about a mural on the side of it) that the Barley Mow on Francis Street is up for sale:

    http://news.cbre.ie/francis-street-redevelopment-opportunity

    They're being VERY generous with the use of the word 'restore' because most of the building disappeared somewhere between the 2009 and 2014 Streetview passes. It does still have a licence though!

    Good riddance.. Oh, and I think you're mistaking 'famous' with 'infamous'.

    The Banyo up from it has been up for sale for ages at this rate - probably still with a license.

    With the Tivoli Backstage, Liberty Belle and newly opened The Jug already on Francis St. And with Fallons at one end of Francis St and Kennedys and The Thomas House at the other - no one in their right mind would open either of the places up as a pub at the moment.

    Has Molloy's on Talbot Street closed or is it just having a refurb?

    One of the windows has been broken and badly repaired for ages so it has looked closed when not. Haven't been down this week, though. Google doesn't show much for it closing but does show a 2015 food safety order and a 2016 court case for showing dodgy Sky!

    Mother Kellys was closed and sold recently, don't think its reopened.

    What? Why? The trade in this pub always seemed to be holding up reasonably well. Another great pub about to bite the dust.

    Definitely seems to be an upswing in pubs opening/reopening compared to the closures of a few years ago. I keep an eye on the licence register figures - I've an indefinite end-date aim of drinking (something, won't be booze in some) in every pub in Dublin - and even counting for pubs randomly appearing that have been open all along its trending upwards by three or four a month in the county. February's list is out today so I'll see what the current status is

    edit: Absolutely none this month. One open pub which wasn't in any previous files I'd compared (back to July '16) but that's dependent on when the licence is renewed.

    January was a little more typical though - all the months are on here: http://everypubindublin.blogspot.ie/2017/01/january-2017-licence-update.html

    I always liked that place for a toasted sandwich while shopping. I suppose they needed more than oul' ones and toasted cheese and ham to keep going. Pity.

    Are you confusing it with Lynch's The Swan further down at the York St junction? An absolute cast iron gem of a boozer.

    The Swan is a cracker of a pub alright, I was accused of almost ruining my brothers wedding because he got married in whitefriars and I decided to nip into the swan for a swift one before throw in. Every one else who arrived saw me across the road in there and wandered over for a jar. We wound being run out of the place by an irate friend of the bride :o

    JJ's is gone now too I hear.

    No bother. I can't have a man be steered wrong.

    Popped into the Sackville with a buddy for a couple there tonight. It's actually a scandal that there's no heritage value in stopping its closure.

    The pint of stout I got was one for the ages. Glorious.

    I'll try get in on Sunday before I head out for the super bowl

    Is the sackville actually closed yet does anyone know? I spent many a good night in there. I think I'll shoot into town tonight in the hope of getting a pint.

    The Addison Lodge in glasnevin closed today.
    It was sold in 2006 for redevelopment but the market crashed and so the redevelopment was put on hold until the market picks back up.

    It had been operating on a month to month basis for the last while, but unfortunately the landlord wanted to change it to a year contract with conditions the current tenants simply couldn't meet.
    Unfortunately there was also a number of permanent residents living there who had been given less than a day to vacate.

    It has full planing permission for a smaller pub and restaurant with 15 town houses which will probably suit the current market better, but it will be sad to see it go.
