Listed with an AMV of €85,000, this promises to be an interesting sale with plenty of interest given the bar’s interior is very conducive to suitable redevelopment and redesign for anyone looking to put their own stamp on the building.
This seven-day licenced, residential premises in the heart of Tarbert Village has plenty scope for someone with a keen business acumen and knowledge of the bar trade. Moreover, a streetside property gives the Anchor Bar a good profile along Chapel Street within proximity of the church and all village amenities.
