Specialist licensed premises agent John P Younge is guiding €6m for the premises which extends to over 6,000 sqft (558 sqm) on two levels.

Known locally as The Beacher, it is being sold by brothers Donough and Daire Duignan, sons of Jack who founded the business in 1963.

From sports screenings to charity fundraisers, the pub serves as a venue for various local activities and its team engages with the community, hosting events that bring people together.

Its food offering includes a variety of dishes as well as a carvery lunch during the day, which is popular among locals. Including food sales and drink, turnover is believed to be heading for over €2.7m net of Vat.

Located at the end of a parade of local shops which generates a healthy footfall, the two-storey premises has side access to the rear and is adjoined by a SuperValu supermarket.

Mr Younge says: “This is a thriving business conducted by the vendors, who have a long trading record here, enjoying a substantial turnover. There is real potential for further business growth as the self-contained upper floor is under-utilised.”

At ground floor level its lounge bar extends to 2,938 sqft (273 sqm) and its catering area is supplemented by streetside tables and seating.

A kitchen extending to 102 sqft is also located at ground level, as are a store, cold room, toilets and an office.

At first floor level is a lounge/carvery/restaurant in two sections: one to the front of 1,324 sqft (128 sqm) while a back section extends to 1,690 sqft (157 sqm). At this level a catering kitchen measures a much larger 370 sqft and it is complemented by a food coldroom. Toilets are also located at this level.

Standing on a 5,441 sqft site, The Beachcomber comes with an enclosed service yard where a 132 sqft portacabin office on a steel frame is located.

Part of the premises is a vacant retail area which is readily adaptable for additional internal use or leasing.

Located at 179 Howth Road, it is located on an important arterial route which links the city centre, Clontarf and Fairview to the northern suburban districts of Killester, Raheny, Sutton and Howth.

This section of Howth Road is well served by public transport, including the Dart commuter rail service at nearby Killester station, as well as bus routes.

Just a short walk from the Clontarf sea front, Killester was developed originally as a garden village for World War I veterans.
