Appraisal
Molloys Bar, situated on Connaught Street, retains a fine example of a pubfront dating to the late nineteenth/early twentieth century. The central entranceway with timber panelled double doors, as well as the decorative detailing in the carved timber brackets that support the fascia and the openwork above the display windows, combine to create an appealing building on Connaught Street.
