Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2004 / March 10 2004: Porterhouse Bar opens in Glasnevin art deco landmark

Porterhouse North bar and restaurant is to open tomorrow in the landmark art deco former Arc Hire building at Crossguns Bridge in Glasnevin, which was restored at a cost of €2.7 million. Oliver Hughes, whose great grandfather owned Bartley Dunnes pub in Dublin and who set up the first Porterhouse in Bray with Liam Lahart in 1989, says the decision to open in Glasnevin was based "purely on the building". The restoration has taken over year.
