The week around Valentine's Day has been a busy one for Dublin businesses with new cafes, bars and restaurants opening - and some well-known ones closing their doors.
One of these new places will take up the premises of the infamous Berlin Bar which was shut down after a party that breached Covid restrictions in 2020. The new place will open up today, Friday 17th under the name 'Pawn Shop'.
Co-owner and manager David Grier told Newstalk earlier today the new venue has nothing to do with the old operation however. He said: “This is a completely new venture. It is not Berlin re-opening. This is me, a new owner, opening my first business, called Pawn Shop, in the space that was formerly known as Berlin.”
