Appraisal
Situated adjacent to both the Grand Canal and Griffith Bridge, Canal Bar has a dominant position within Shannon Harbour. This building retains many of its original features such as the timber sash windows. The use of colourful pebbledash to the front façade enlivens the appearance of the building. A noteworthy feature is the use of the simple double door to gain access to the pub and the lack of the display window most commonly found to pubfronts.
