“Five units responded to a premises fire on Francis Street at 4.30am,” Dublin Fire Brigade said in a statement on Twitter.
“A well developed fire had taken hold on the ground floor. Crews in breathing apparatus extinguished the fire and fans were used to ventilate the building.
“Two people were treated for smoke inhalation in an adjoining property. The incident concluded at 8.30am.”
Messages of support have poured in for the bar, which opened in 2016.
“BAD NEWS,” the bar wrote on Instagram.
“There was a fire in the early hours of this morning. No one was hurt – THANK GOODNESS. After that we don’t know anything.
“We’ll be taking the next few days to regroup and start planning and will keep you posted here.
“Fear not, we’ll be back!”
