Independent reporting and heritage records on this pub, drawn from a curated list of Irish news outlets, Revenue Commissioners, NIAH, and the Dictionary of Irish Architects. Every claim links to its primary source.
Revenue's renewed-liquor-licence register lists licence ref S3035 as a Publican's Licence (ordinary) - Theatre for IFI CINEMAS / IRISH FILM CENTRE at 6 EUSTACE STREET, TEMPLE BAR in DUBLIN CITY with IRISH FILM INSTITUTE as licensee.[1]
NIAH records the Irish Film Institute at 5-6 Eustace Street as a regionally rated former Quaker Meeting House, built c.1815 and now used as a cinema.[2]
NIAH says the former meeting house facade and interior were altered in 1877 and c.1990, and that the building incorporates the south and east elevations of the former meeting house within the cinema complex.[2]
The Irish Times described the Irish Film Centre in 1996 as a cinema with a cafe-bar and bookshop, a home for film-related organisations, and a venue opened in September 1992.[3]
The same Irish Times article said the O'Donnell & Tuomey-designed centre cost GBP2.25 million, including GBP650,000 from Temple Bar Properties.[3]
The Irish Times reported in 2022 that the IFI had asked Dublin City Council to help it secure an additional city-centre building, and that its Film Archive held more than 30,000 cans of film dating back as far as 1897.[4]
