Listing historyNotable eventsClosure signals
Revenue's renewed-liquor-licence register lists licence ref S0127 as a Publican's Licence (7-Day Ordinary) for THE SWAN BAR at 57/58 YORK STREET in DUBLIN CITY with THE SWAN BAR LIMITED as licensee.[1]
The Irish Times reported in 2014 that the Swan Bar on the corner of Aungier Street and York Street had undergone considerable restoration after damage during the severe winter of 2010 and had been given funding for window repairs.[2]
The Irish Times reported in 2019 that Sean Lynch, Ronan Lynch and Swan Bar Ltd settled a High Court defamation action over a 2016 article saying the Swan Bar had closed and was for sale.[3]
The apology read in court said that closure-and-sale statement came from an inaccurate press release supplied by selling agent Lisney.[3]

Local notes
Architecture
A prominent purpose-built public house. Casey (2005) dates it to 1897, but the Dictionary of Irish Architects suggests a rebuild in 1913 by architects G.T. Moore, Keefe & Robinson. Recently restored, this decorative building exhibits an array of façade decoration and an impressive shopfront, and retains fine interior fittings.
