Pub giant Wetherspoon has announced that it has completed development of its new Dublin pub and hotel and has even published an ideal opening date for the new year.
The company has invested 27.4 million euros in developing the site on Camden Street Upper and Lower after purchasing the property for around 6 million euros, making it the largest investment made by the company in its 41 years of history.
A total of 200 full and part-time employees will be employed at the pub and the 89-room hotel that has been named Keavan’s Port.
While there is no official opening date for the pub and hotel, they expect to open the pub on January 15, 2021, subject to the granting of a license.
The pub will be run by the experienced Fillip Mordak, who has worked for Wetherspoon since 2007 and has previously run two other Dublin Wetherspoon pubs.
The exciting new business will have two bars and two enclosed patios.
One of the bars will be located in the semi-basement and the other at ground level within the gated atrium.
The pub is named after the old Camden Street – St. Kevin’s Port, which was renamed in 1778 in honor of the Earl of Camden.
The famous company currently has five pubs in Dublin: The Silver Penny on Lower Abbey Street; The Three Tun Tavern on Carysfort Avenue, Blackrock; The Forty Foot at The Pavilion Center, Marine Road, Dun Laoghaire; The Great Wood at Westend Shopping Park, Blanchardstown and The Old Borough on Main Street, Swords.
Wetherspoon CEO John Hutson said: “We are delighted to have completed the development of the Keavan Port.
“We believe that the pub and hotel will be a great asset to Dublin and we hope they will act as a catalyst for other companies to invest in the city.”
