The popular watering hole sent out an appeal to gardai this afternoon asking for their assistance, Dublin Live reports.

They said: "Hi An Garda Siochana, would you be able to help us? We seem to be missing something.

"Our iconic Coppers sign is missing/stolen. Any help appreciated."

The club and adjoining Jackson Court Hotel were put up for sale by owner Cathal Jackson last month.

The venue, which first opened in 1996, is reportedly expected to sell for up to €40 million.

Mr Jackson is selling the business as he has decided to retire.

Supermac's owner Pat McDonagh is considering buying famous Dublin nightclub Copper Face Jacks 

Speaking about the decision to sell up, he said: "Over the past 23 years I have been totally committed to setting up and establishing Copper Face Jacks as one of the most enduring and successful entertainment venues in Ireland.
