Restaurateurs looking to secure a prime pitch in Dublin\u2019s city centre will be interested in the rare opportunity presented by the arrival of number 119 St Stephen\u2019s Green<\/a> to the market.<\/p>\n

Known since 1998 until its sudden and unexpected closure in October of last year as Shanahan\u2019s on the Green, the landmark Georgian townhouse<\/a>, which dates from 1750, is being made available to let under a new lease through agent Cushman & Wakefield.<\/p>\n

The property, which comprises a four-storey over-basement building extending to 595.7sq m (6,412sq ft), occupies a high-profile position on St Stephen\u2019s Green West, close to the junction with York Street and Proud\u2019s Lane. The building is immediately adjacent to the home of its owner and landlord, the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI), and within a short walk of Grafton Street, and three of Dublin\u2019s foremost five-star hotels, namely the Westbury, the Shelbourne, and the Merrion. It also sits directly across from the St Stephen\u2019s Green Luas green-line stop.<\/p>\n

Number 119 St Stephen\u2019s Green has long been synonymous with Dublin\u2019s restaurant scene. While it served as the home of Shanahan\u2019s, the high-end steakhouse owned and operated by dual Irish and US citizen John Shanahan for 26 years, it first became a restaurant in the mid-1980s, trading under the name of Peter White and his wife as White\u2019s on the Green. Nightclub owner Robbie Fox later took it over and the name was changed to Baton Rouge, before it underwent a major restoration and began trading as Shanahan\u2019s on the Green.<\/p>\n

The Royal College of Surgeons acquired number 119 in 2017 in a receivership sale. The building sold for in excess of its \u20ac4.5 million guide price with the RCSI securing ownership in the face of competition from a number of private investors.<\/p>\n

Designed by Richard Cassells, the leading Dublin architect of the Georgian era, who was responsible for some of the largest and finest houses built in Ireland, number 119 is a protected structure. The property is briefly configured with a speakeasy\/bar at basement level, restaurant accommodation on the ground and first floors, and ancillary accommodation on the second and third floors.<\/p>\n
