Description
FORMER CITY CENTRE NIGHTCLUB FOR SALE BY PRIVATE TREATY O'Donnellan & Joyce are pleased to present this exceptional city centre commercial opportunity to the market. Formerly trading as Carbon Nightclub, the property represents one of Galway City's most iconic and well-recognised hospitality venues, occupying a strategic position within the heart of the city centre. OVERVIEW The property extends to approximately 10,247 sq. ft. (952 sq. m.) GIA over ground and first floor levels. Although currently vacant, the accommodation comprises an extensive ground floor hospitality venue including bar facilities, nightclub accommodation, smoking area and ancillary support space. The first floor provides additional office, storage and staff accommodation. A significant benefit of the property is its dual access, with primary frontage onto Eglinton Street and direct service access from Mary Street, offering flexibility for future occupiers and redevelopment opportunities. Planning permission was granted by Galway City Council in March 2023 for a change of use from nightclub to licensed premises and restaurant (Planning Reference: 22/206), presenting a valuable opportunity for alternative hospitality and leisure uses. LOCATION The property occupies a prominent position on Eglinton Street, one of Galway City's principal commercial thoroughfares, immediately adjacent to Shop Street, Williamsgate Street, St. Francis Street and Eyre Square. Situated at the centre of Galway's prime retail, leisure and hospitality district, the property benefits from exceptional levels of pedestrian footfall and excellent accessibility. The surrounding area comprises a vibrant mix of retail, office, restaurant and hospitality occupiers, with nearby landmarks and occupiers including Brown Thomas, the GPO and Eyre Square Shopping Centre. The property's prominent city centre location, combined with its substantial floor area and dual access configuration, offers significant potential for a wide range of commercial, hospitality, leisure or redevelopment opportunities, subject to the necessary statutory consents.
