This high-profile city centre property is located directly opposite Central Plaza and Temple Bar. This is one of the busiest thoroughfares in Dublin city centre.

No. 37 Dame Street has Full Planning Permission for a three-storey pub with three floors of offices overhead including a rooftop extension. RefABP 301743-18 (PA 4567/17).
This period property benefits from dual frontage onto Dame Street and Dame Lane. Dame Lane is a bustling pedestrian street that benefits from the spill over of customers from the adjoining busy hotels, bars and restaurants.

distance from O’Connell Street.
In addition to the pedestrianised streets of Dame Lane and Dame Court there are plans to create a new 350 metre pedestrian and cycle plaza in 2024 from College Green to the junction of Dame Street and South Great George’s Street, with buses, cars and taxis banned. There are plans afoot to create place making and external seating and event space on College Green, which should benefit all the adjoining hospitality properties.
