Listing historyArchitecture

Revenue's renewed-liquor-licence register lists licence ref S0111 as a Publican's Licence (7-Day Ordinary) for THE OLD STAND at 37 Exchequer Street and 9/10 Andrew Street in Dublin city, with DORANS (CAFE BARS) LIMITED as licensee.[1]

NIAH records The Old Stand as a regional-rated former house built c.1790 and now used as a public house.[2]

NIAH says the building has a long history of use as a public house and grocers, dating back to at least the early nineteenth century.[2]

The Irish Times reported in 2013 that the Doran family ran both Davy Byrnes and the Old Stand after consolidating Dorans Café Bars around the two Dublin 2 pubs.[3]
