“Ireland’s Smallest Craft Beer Bar” is up for sale, and locals hope that whoever purchases it will reopen it as a pub.
Thomas O’Brennan Pub on Dominic Street has been closed for the past few years, with no social media updates since before the pandemic.
Now, the site of O’Brennans is up for sale for just shy of €800,000, with a 7 day license included should the new owner wish to reopen the well-loved bar.
O’Brennans pub received a lick of paint during the week, which led me to hope it might reopen. Instead it seems like it has gone up for sale. I hope whoever purchases it will consider keeping it as a pub. @dublinbypub https://t.co/5N5MroesLn https://t.co/y18ogbccYp

Described by Dublin by Pub as “easily the cosiest of any craft beer pub we’ve set foot in”, O’Brennan’s underwent exterior renovation before closing and boasted a small but perfectly formed outdoor area, perfect for pints and people watching.
