THE ARDEE HOUSE BAR 1 CHAMBER STREET DUBLIN 8

ARDEE HOUSE URBAN EXPRESSION

ANOTHER DUBLIN PUB THAT HAS CEASED TRADING [THE ARDEE HOUSE BAR 1 CHAMBER STREET DUBLIN 8]

Another derelict pub in Dublin. Located on the corner of Ardee Street and Chamber Street in Dublin 8. There is not much that I can say about the pub but there is an interested story associated with Chamber Street.

The 1875 Chamber Street fire claimed many victims - each died from alcohol poisoning. In all, 13 people are understood to have died as a result of a fire at Malone’s malt house and bonded storehouse on Chamber Street. None of the deceased perished in the flames, nor did they die from smoke inhalation - each succumbed to alcohol poisoning from drinking “freely of the derelict whiskey”.
