THIS HISTORY OF THE PUBS AT THIS LOCATION IS COMPLICATED
The Whitworth was known for its stylish art deco interior, which was created from a converted garage that had once housed Iona Airways. It offered a diverse menu, craft beers, wines, and cocktails, and was a popular spot in the Glasnevin area.
The transition from The Whitworth to Porterhouse North happened sometime in 2016.
Pre-2004: The building at Cross Guns Bridge in Glasnevin was a derelict garage, with a history of housing Iona Airways.
2004-2016: The derelict garage was renovated and converted into an art deco-style bar named "The Whitworth."
2016-2019: The Whitworth was rebranded as "The Porterhouse North."
2019-2021: The Porterhouse North was taken over and rebranded as "The Backpage."
2021-Present: The Backpage was taken over by The Bernard Shaw group and eventually integrated into their brand, though it retains the name "The Backpage."
Porterhouse: The Porterhouse North was/is part of the larger Porterhouse Brewing Company, which operates several pubs in Dublin and internationally.
The Whitworth/The Backpage: While originally operated by the Porterhouse Brewing Company, The Whitworth/The Backpage appears to have been under different management during its time as The Backpage. It's unclear whether this was a separate entity or a change in ownership within the Porterhouse group.
The Backpage in Phibsborough: The Backpage in Phibsborough is a separate entity and not connected to the former Backpage at Cross Guns Bridge.
The Porterhouse Brewing Company is an Irish brewing company based in Dublin. It was founded in 1996 by cousins Oliver Hughes and Liam Lahart, and is considered Ireland's first craft brew pub.
Key points about the Porterhouse Brewing Company:
Pioneering Craft Beer: The Porterhouse played a crucial role in introducing and popularising craft beer in Ireland during a time when the market was dominated by large breweries.

Wide Range of Beers: The Porterhouse produces a diverse selection of award-winning beers, including stouts, ales, lagers, and seasonal specialties. Their beers are known for their quality and unique flavours.
Expansion: The company has expanded beyond Dublin, opening pubs in London and New York City. They also distribute their beers to various pubs, restaurants, and retailers in Ireland and internationally.
