Additional Information

52–54 TULLOW STREET, CARLOW TOWN

A landmark venue ready for its next chapter

Offers in Excess of €675,000 

REA Sothern are offering investors and developers a rare opportunity to revive one of Carlow's best-known entertainment venues while acquiring a substantial mixed-use property in the heart of the town.

Long before it became a popular nightclub, the premises began its story as Archie’s pub, where U2 played one of their earliest gigs in 1979. It subsequently became a vibrant music and nightlife destination, welcoming Irish and international acts and creating memories for generations of Carlovians.

Although the venue has been closed for several years, demand for live entertainment has not disappeared. Music fans from Carlow and the surrounding counties frequently travel to Dublin, Kildare and Kilkenny for concerts and nightlife. This landmark property offers an ambitious operator the opportunity to bring that audience home and create a renewed entertainment destination in the centre of Carlow.

Extending to approximately 1,700m² (18,300 sq. ft.) over several levels, the building provides an exceptional platform for a live-music venue, nightclub, hospitality concept, events space or other leisure use, subject to the necessary permissions.

Its potential extends well beyond entertainment. A successful convenience store and Asian food business already trade from the ground floor, providing immediate rental income, with the existing tenant unaffected by the sale. The extensive vacant accommodation could also lend itself to a contemporary food hall, concession-led retail destination, flexible commercial space or wider mixed-use redevelopment.

A self-contained two-bedroom apartment creates another potential source of rental income or accommodation for an owner or manager.

With its scale, location, existing income and unique place in Carlow’s social and musical history, 52–54 Tullow Street is much more than a commercial building. It is an opportunity to restore a landmark, respond to a clear gap in the local market and create a destination capable of drawing people back into the town centre.

For the right investor, the stage is set for a remarkable new chapter.

Viewing is strictly by appointment through the sole selling agents, REA Sothern.
