Buildings on George’s Quay were historically used as a mix of shops, hotels, merchant’s offices, tenements and public houses, all associated with, or supported by, the trade from the adjacent port quays. An earlier building on this site served as an hotel and public house from the middle of the nineteenth century. The present building was constructed in the early twentieth century, and was described in 1920 as ‘a newly built and fully licensed premises’. It retains much of its original form and character, including its well-executed shopfront and window, making this a significant landmark on Dublin’s south quays.
