Listing historyNotable events
Revenue's renewed-liquor-licence register lists licence ref N0191 as a Publican's Licence (7-Day Ordinary) for PANTIBAR at 6-7 CAPEL STREET AND, 68-71 GREAT STRAND STREET in DUBLIN CITY with THE PANTY BAR LIMITED as licensee.[1] An Irish Times profile of Rory O’Neill’s drag persona Panti described Pantibar on Capel Street as owned by O’Neill with restaurateur Jay Bourke.[2] In 2022, the Irish Independent reported that neighbours dropped an objection to Pantibar’s pub licence after reaching an agreement with the pub about outdoor serving.[3]
