Hospitality group The Emporium Company, who also run the Castle and Yard in Glanmire, JJ Coppingers in Midleton and Tradehouse Central in Ballincollig have confirmed they are investing €4m in a new bar called Mabel Lane, at the site of the former O'Cogáins bar on Main Street.
The new bar, which is due to open in June, will bring the amount of people employed by the group to 180.
Speaking ahead of the bar's opening, James Dullea, Group Manager at the Emporium company said:
"Our strategy from day one has been to bring a city-type bar experience to the suburbs, as we have successfully done with our other bars across the group. Carrigaline was a natural progression for us after Glanmire, Ballincollig and Midleton, due to its population, large hinterland and the amount of development going on in the area. We have seen that there is a huge market for a high-quality bar and food offering outside of Cork City and this is what we have heavily focused on since we began acquiring assets.
"We are really keen to build a community hub in Carrigaline – where good food and drinks are on offer, and where locals feel comfortable enough to pull up a chair, enjoy the best food in town and relax with a glass or two. We hire people who enjoy making their customers happy and we endeavour to deliver a best-in-class hospitality experience across all of our bars".
