The Bernard Shaw, a beloved Dublin institution, made a significant move in 2020 from its original location on South Richmond Street to Cross Guns Bridge in Glasnevin.
Why the Relocation?
The primary reason for the relocation was the expiration of the lease at the South Richmond Street location. Rather than facing an uncertain future there, the Bernard Shaw team took the opportunity to secure a larger space with greater potential for expansion and development.
Comparison of Locations
Old Location (South Richmond Street)
Central location with good accessibility
Smaller space with limited room for growth
Strong association with the city’s cultural scene
New Location (Cross Guns Bridge)
More spacious, allowing for a larger beer garden, food stalls, and event areas.
Further from the city center, but still well-connected by public transport
Opportunities for new ventures, like the Eatyard food market.
Overall Impact
The relocation of the Bernard Shaw sparked a mix of emotions among Dubliners. Some lamented the loss of a landmark in its original location, while others embraced the new and expanded possibilities. Ultimately, the move allowed the Bernard Shaw to evolve and thrive in a larger space, continuing to offer its unique blend of food, drinks, music, and events to a loyal clientele.
