Documented by an episode of At Your Service which no longer appears to be on RTE Player, from Summer 2022, the hotel eventually opened in July 2024, but I believe some other elements of the redevelopment took longer than this to be finished.
But finished they now are, with everything open. There is a courtyard area with a bar - this wasn't actually open on the Wednesday afternoon I came through, a pizzeria and a bakery; and there's also a small traditional hotel bar to the front of the main hotel building.
This bar is presumably more intended for guests of the hotel, but it is open to the public. That "public" was just me during my time there, but as my pint was poured by a receptionist; it isn't like they are losing money having the bar physically open during the day.
Dungloe has a lot of bars, including a lot of licenced, closed bars; so it is unlikely that there's much market to be carved out amongst locals here. But I doubt that's the point.
