Well-known Dublin bar closes

ONE OF Dublin’s best-known bars is to close this weekend.

The Odeon, located in the old railway station on Dublin’s Harcourt Street will shut its doors today.

It is believed that the owners may be in some discussions about reopening the business in the future.

The Odeon is controlled by publican Paul Keaveney, who is also behind Dakota on South William Street and 4 Dame Lane in Dublin city centre.

The popular Odeon bar, which was well-known for its distinctive art-deco style interior, opened in the late 1990s.
