Callanan's Bar

Callanan’s Bar is a destination in Cork for its ambience and character. Sitting on the junction of Mary Street and George’s Quay, the building was built circa 1760. It is a gable-fronted end of terrace, the river-facing building which has beautiful original decorative features. The building has been owned by the same family since 1935, where it has functioned as a bar on the ground floor and a family home on the upper floors. Key features of the building include a fabulous open string early Georgian staircase, an oculus window to the attic, a decorative filial to the gable, a shopfront from c. 1910 and two oval windows to the side elevations. Our role has been to undertake a series of conservation and renewal works for the building. Works are ongoing.
Tá tarraingt air theach tabhairne Uí Challanáin toisc a atmaisféar agus a carachtar. Tá sé suite ar an achomhal idir Sráid Mhuire agus Cé Sheoirse, tógadh an foirgneamh timpeall ar 1760. Tá maisiúcháin álainn mar ghné den fhoirgneamh a luíonn ag deireadh de shraith tithe. Tá binn na sraithe ag féachaint I dtreo an abhainn agus is é seo aghaidh an fhoirgnimh. Is leis an taeghlach chéanna an fhoirgneamh ó 1935, áit gur fheidhmigh sé mar theach tabhairne ar leibhéal na talún agus mar theach taeghlaigh ar na hurláir uachtaracha. I measc príomh-ghnéithe an fhoirgnimh tá staighre galánta Sheoirsiach, fuinneog oculus chuig an áiléar, macúil maisiúil ar an mbinn, aghaidh siopa ó thart air an mbliain 1910 agus dhá fhuinneog ubhchruthach ar an taobh chló. An cúram atá le déanamh againne ná tabhairt faoi sraith oibreacha caomhnaithe agus athnuachain ar an bhfoirgneamh. Tá na hoibreacha ar siúl I láthair na huaire.
