Beloved Dublin pub The Bernard Shaw has found a new location on the northside of the city.
Bodytonic, the operators of the South Richmond Street venue, recently announced that the pub was to close at the end of October.
The announcement of the closure sparked outcry, with after a string of creative spaces were forced to shut their doors.
A Facebook post announcing the closure read: "It's with heavy hearts that we announce the end of our Bernard Shaw adventure.
"At the end of October 2019 we will close the Shaw, Eatyard, all organisational, art and performance spaces and everything else in the building and yards - for good.
"We've tried really hard over the last few months to renew the lease, stay on longer, or buy the place.
"A lot of things didn't go our way over the last 12 months either, but it's out of our hands now unfortunately."
The owners added that while "Dublin is changing" they had plans in place to open a new venue somewhere else.
It has now emerged that the group is to take over the Porterhouse Whitworth on Cross Guns Road in Glasnevin.
Bodytonic chief Trevor O'Shea told the Irish Times the as much of the current pub as possible will be transplanted to the new venue, including the iconic Eatyard food truck.
He said: "We will launch it the same weekend we close here [the Bernard Shaw]. We might keep the name, or start with a new name, we are not sure yet.”
Dublin Live has contacted Bodytonic for further comment.
