The Wetherspoons pub in Blackrock, The Three Tun Tavern has been bought by a group of current and former Leinster Rugby players.
The players, including Sean O'Brien, Jamie Heaslip, Dave and Rob Kearney, who also own Lemon and Duke, are believed to have paid in the region of €2.5 million for the Wetherspoons pub, reports The Business Post.
Back in September, Dublin Live reported how the Three Tun Tavern had been placed on the market with an asking price of €2.5 million.
The pub is located on the corner of Temple Road and Carysfort Avenue and has an overall floor area of 9505 sq ft.
The pub operates over two floors and recently underwent a full refurbishment and is now in exceptional condition for prospective buyers.
The first floor has a large open plan bar with a dining area as well as a beer garden out the back. Other first floor facilities include a kitchen, storerooms, office, and patron WC facilities.
While the British pub chain is losing one of its locations, Wetherspoons has opened another pub located in Grand Canal Dock.
