A number of high profile Dublin pubs are currently listed as being available for sale on the website of real estate company CBRE.
Each property has an elaborate brochure to accompany their listing that documents all the intricate details of the properties that we, the public, might not ordinarily be privy to. Rent, square footage, energy ratings, are among the details given.
It’s important to note that, while these properties are for sale, that does not necessarily mean that the management or anything about them as operating businesses will change.
Here are some of the bars presently for sale.
The Barge
formerly of the Quinn group, is reportedly on sale for €3.5 million. While the ownership of the pub will change, the management of the pub will not. There is a fixed lease on the pub for 20 years from 2004 at a rate of €273,000 per year.

JW Sweetman
on Burgh quay has enjoyed success in recent years since the pub changed from being ‘Messrs Maguires’. The price for this bar is reportedly €2.5 million. We were surprised to hear that this property was less expensive than The Barge. The building, which consists of 5 floors, also has a brewery area in the basement and ground floor area.
