One of Dublin’s best-known pubs, Peter’s Pub, has been put up for sale for €4.25 million.

Located on the corner of Johnson Place at the end of South William Street, it’s a short walk from Grafton Street and St Stephen’s Green.

The premises has been a pub since the 1700s and has been run as Peter’s Pub by Enda Keogh for nearly 50 years. The publican is now set to retire.

“It’s one of those unique units that’s left in the city that where there’s no TV, there’s none of that sort of thing, you just go in and you converse. That’s what people like about it,” Tony Morrissey, who is handling the sale on behalf of Lisney, told The Journal’s Jane Moore.
