A popular LGBTQ+ bar in the city centre has been left "devastated" after a bike rack was installed in loading bays outside their front door where they previously had an outdoor seating area.
Street 66 were preparing for an extremely busy period during the Dublin Pride festival when they were told last Friday their application for an outdoor furniture license had been refused. This was despite it being accepted by Dublin City Council late last year.
The LGBTQ+ bar had previously had the outdoor seating area during the pandemic and last summer. Manager Siobhan Commy told Dublin Live she has not yet received an explanation as to why the application was refused.
