Closed & unusual licences

UPDATE MAY 2019 - this list is not always maintained.


As I'm using the Revenue list of licence holders as my master list, I'm going to be forced to skip a few cases where a licence is still active but the pub has closed; or where a licence is being used in an unusual (but completely legal!) manner and you're not going to get to consume anything on-premises

On the closed down front, licence S1450 is for the Barley Mow, on Francis Street. This has been closed since at least 1999 and currently looks like this from the outside. delisted

Out in Crumlin, Baron John's above Crumlin S/C might be remembered fondly (or not!) still but hasn't traded in years - but its licence S2278 was most recently used by the Molloys Liquor Stores downstairs. Similarly, licence N0104 was Stan McCarthys on Parnell Street but is currently used for a off-licence at the site; and S1439 was the Henry Grattan on Baggott Street and is now a Spar store.

Others that are on the master list but off the cards temporarily at least:
