PLUCKS IN KILMACANOGUE GOES ON THE MARKET WITH €2.25M PRICE TAG
A THRIVING bar and restaurant in Kilmacanogue with room to extend is on the market with a guide price of €2.25 million.
Pluck’s of Kilmac is a large licensed premises sited on 0.96 acres. The property has been a mainstay in the village for almost 200 and dates back to 1822 and comes to the market as a thriving going concern with business as usual. Turnover has increased year-on-year since the current owners took over in 2014 according to selling agent Lisney.
A new kitchen and cold room were added in 2014 and the buildings have been fully refurbished and are well presented. Pluck’s offers a very high standard of food and beverages and continues to build a strong clientele. The business also now benefits from a modern point of sales systems providing transparency and efficiency to all sales and stock keeping.
On the ground floor there is a bar and lounge on ground floor. On the first floor there is a function room which can cater for up to 70 guests and is equipped with a third bar area and taps. There is also a large two bed manager’s apartment and a car park capable of accommodating approximately 100 cars.
A grant of full planning permission was obtained in 2017 for a large extension to the business of 269 sq.m. potentially adding on additional restaurant, bar and function areas along with an extended kitchen and toilets while retaining 92 car spaces.
The new extension has been designed to cater for the largely untapped demand for food and beverages by tour groups to and from Glendalough and the surrounding attractions. The design also allows the future owners to keep the traditional bar for the established local clientele.
This site has been earmarked for development for decades and the quality of the new building will add very positively to the area. With this in mind, the scheme will appeal to the licensed and restaurant trade and potentially the retail and developer market. A full set of trading accounts is available.
