THIS historic Irish pub has hit the market at €3,950,000 with stunning interior and a sun trap beer garden.
The Queens pub, which is located in the heart of Dalkey village in south county Dublin, is selling for €400,000 more than it sold for in 2021.
The iconic pub, which was established in the gorgeous coastal town in 1745, is one of Ireland’s oldest pubs.
Its prime location on Castle Street features a gorgeous sun trap beer garden and three-storey structure.
The ground floor contains a spacious main bar and dining area, which includes The Parlour, a venue available for private gatherings.
The first floor of the pub contains The Vico – a gorgeous function room with its own bar and seating area for events.
The stunning interiors and beer garden make it a popular spot with both locals and tourists alike.
The pub is just 20 minutes away from the Vico Baths, making it the prime spot to return to after a picturesque dip in the Irish Sea.
In 2020, The Queens devastated patrons when it became the first big pub to announce its permanent closure during the Covid-19 pandemic.
However, all hope was not lost, when hoteliers Ray Byrne and Eoin Doyle acquired the prime location for €3.5million.
And whoever has the pleasure of purchasing the pub will be delighted to know that there is now planning permission to turn the pub into a hotel.
The planning permission is for the development of 30 guest bedrooms and a rear two-storey extension to the stunning location.
The historic pub is beloved by celebrities and has been visited by the likes of Bruce Springsteen and Bono.
It is also host to an array of comedic and musical performances that have seen Mundy, Ardal O’Hanlon and Deirdre O’Kane perform there.
Lisney Commercial Real Estate said: “The Queen occupies an imposing and prominent trading position to the north side of Castle Street within the heart of the renowned heritage town of Dalkey.
“Dalkey is a long established and popular residential suburb of south county Dublin enjoying a host of amenities and is highly regarded as a tourism focal point.”
He continued: “Due to its historical status combined with its coastal location, the town is an extremely popular destination for day trippers, weekenders and both domestic and international tourists alike.
“The property enjoys a highly visible trading position within the heart of the town directly opposite the Church and immediately neighbouring Dalkey Castle & Heritage Centre.”
The real estate agent explained that the pub represents an “excellent opportunity” for those who are able to acquire it.
He added: “The Queen therefore represents an excellent opportunity to acquire an iconic Licensed Premises synonymous with the popular Heritage Town of Dalkey, benefiting from valuable planning permission for the development to the rear of 30 guest bedrooms within a two-storey extension that will no doubt facilitate further development and expansion of trade.”
