Bidding reaches over €4m on Sweeney’s music venue near Central Bank

A popular live music venue with bars and a small hotel close to the Central Bank on Dublin's Dame Street has attracted bids of over €4 million since it went for sale through agent CBRE.

Sweeney’s first opened for business in 2008 and has proven a popular attraction for locals as well as tourists because of its proximity to Trinity College, Dublin Castle and the Guinness Storehouse.

CBRE initially invited offers over €3.5 million for the six-storey over basement building with bars at basement, ground and first floor levels and a fully fitted catering kitchen and stores on the second floor.

There are 15 ensuite bedrooms on the top three floors.
