Irish-themed bar chain set to bring the ‘craic’ to Nottingham

A fast-growing chain of Irish-themed bars is set to open in Nottingham.

Katie O’Briens, which has venues in Leicester, Newcastle, Sheffield and Durham, is coming to the city.

Although the exact location of the new bar is being kept under wraps, the former Olivia’s Townhouse in the Chapel Bar area of Nottingham, which has been empty for around 18 months, is under offer, according to the agents on the building.

The bar promises live music and multi-screen sports.

Katie O’Briens’ Leicester venue is on Market Street offering “a taste of Ireland, in the heart of the city”. It opened last year, replacing Olivia’s Townhouse.

Katie O’Briens has also confirmed that it will be opening soon in Birmingham and Leeds.
