The famous pub operator Wetherspoons has confirmed the name and highly anticipated opening date for its newest Dublin pub and hotel.
The company has invested more than €21 million developing the pub and 89 bedroom hotel 'Keavan’s Port' on Camden Street which is set to open on October 20.
The exciting new business will have two bars and two enclosed courtyards creating 200 full-time and part-time jobs.
One of the bars will be located on the lower ground floor with the other at ground level within the gazed atrium.
The pub is called after the former name of Camden Street - St. Kevin's Port which was renamed in 1778 after the Earl of Camden.
The famous company currently has five pubs in Dublin: The Silver Penny on Lower Abbey Street; The Three Tun Tavern in Carysfort Avenue, Blackrock; The Forty Foot in The Pavilion Centre, Marine Road, Dun Laoghaire; The Great Wood at Westend Shopping Park, Blanchardstown and The Old Borough in Main Street, Swords.
Speaking about the announcement, Wetherspoon chief executive John Hutson said: “We are looking forward to opening our new pub and hotel in Dublin.
“It is the company’s biggest single investment on a site and will also house its largest hotel.
“The project has gone back a few months as building work was put on hold due to Covid-19, however, we are delighted that building work is once again underway.
“We believe the pub and hotel will be a great asset to Dublin and hopefully it will act as a catalyst for other businesses to invest in the city.”
