Longford family celebrate grand opening of J.R Mahon's in iconic Dublin building

There was great excitement at the recent grand opening of J.R Mahon's at 1-2 Burgh Quay, Dublin. The iconic building, located in the heart of the city, has a rich history dating back to the 19th century, when it was first built with iconic views of O’Connell Bridge and the river Liffey.

Now, under the care of brothers Robert and John Mahon the building has been transformed into a modern pub, while still maintaining its historic Victorian charm. Inside, you'll find a warm and welcoming atmosphere, with comfortable seating and a menu of classic pub fare and signature cocktails.

The Mahon family, who are behind the new pub, have a long history in the hospitality industry. Their most famous establishment started by their father John Mahon is the Pig 'n' Whistle, a group of pubs in New York City that have been serving customers since the 1960s as well as Kennedy’s on Dublin’s Westland row. With the opening of J.R Mahon's in Dublin, the family is excited to expand their expertise and passion for hospitality in Ireland.

"We are thrilled to be opening our newest location in such an iconic building," says John Mahon, owner of J.R Mahon's. "We have put a lot of love and care into restoring the space, and we can't wait for our customers to experience it for themselves."
