The historic The Queens Pub in Dalkey is set to reopen its doors following extensive renovations and a change in ownership. Originally established in 1745, the pub temporarily closed earlier this year, just three years after being purchased by hoteliers Ray Byrne and Eoin Doyle. The new proprietors, Doherty Hospitality, plan to welcome patrons back starting tomorrow, July 16, 2023.

The renovation has been meticulous, preserving the venue’s rich heritage while introducing modern comforts. The owners emphasize a commitment to showcasing the best of Irish food, drink, and hospitality. According to Kamila, the general manager, “We’re delighted to breathe new life into The Queens. This is more than just a reopening; it’s a celebration of history, community, and the vibrant future we see for Dalkey.” The pub aims to provide a warm and inviting atmosphere for locals and visitors alike.

The Queens Pub was listed for sale last year with an asking price of €3.95 million. The sale included planning permission for a 30-bed guest house at the rear of the property, further expanding the venue’s potential. Previous owners Tom Mulcahy, the former CEO of AIB, and his wife June had acquired the pub in 2021.

As the reopening approaches, community members and pub enthusiasts are eager to experience the revitalized space that combines its historic charm with contemporary flair. The venue is expected to attract both loyal patrons and newcomers, marking a significant milestone in Dalkey’s social landscape.

Doherty Hospitality’s vision for The Queens goes beyond mere renovations; it’s about fostering a sense of community and celebrating the pub’s storied past. The team looks forward to welcoming guests starting at midday on July 16, promising an experience that honors the legacy of this beloved establishment.
