Siobhan Dooley and Tim Sweeney have sold their well-loved Irish pub, the Last Jar, to publican Chris Fitzgerald of nearby Irish pub the Corkman.

After four years setting a new standard for Irish cuisine in Queensberry Street, Dooley and Sweeney haven't ruled out going into business again. "Another venue is a definite possibility," Dooley says.

In the meantime, Sweeney is off to stage across Europe for a few months, and will also do a stint in Ireland while Dooley will focus on her live music venue, the Drunken Poet.

Fitzgerald says he and his team intend to "maintain the consistently high standards of food and hospitality established at the Last Jar while introducing their own spin".

Takeover is scheduled for the end of next month; Sweeney and Dooley will put on some extra craic over June 3-5 in farewell.

The team from the Corkman will move across to the new venue with the last service at Leicester Place by September.
