The Wetherspoons pub chain is adding another link.
Another J.D. Wetherspoons looks set to open in Ireland before the end of the year.
The gastropub is said to be taking over two buildings located on Lower Abbey Street in Dublin for their newest location.
The Irish Times report that the 150-year-old former Trustee Savings Bank building, located at 12B, and the former 1839 Baptist Chapel, located at 12C.
The two buildings will be connected by a glazed link at the ground level, as well as the first floor level.
The publication notes that the Circuity Licensing Court granted a declaratory order, which will guarantee Wetherspoons a full drinks license and restaurant – provided the development is finished according to their planning permission.
The Wetherspoons location, across the street from the Abbey Theatre, is expected to be completed by Christmas.
It will have an outdoor beer garden as well as a roof terrace with a retractable roof.
Wetherspoons currently have five locations in Dublin and Cork, including the Linen Weaver, Three Tun Tavern, and The Forty Foot in Dun Laoghaire.
Another location is said to be expected to open on Dublin’s Camden Street in 2019.
Witherspoons also have a number of locations in Northern Ireland.
