A well-known north Dublin pub, The Beachcomber in Killester, has been put on the market, offering a rare opportunity to buy a long-established community venue. The business is being marketed with a multimillion-euro guide price and reported annual receipts that underline its commercial scale.
A family-run local with history
The Beachcomber dates back to the 1960s. The current owners, brothers Donough and Daire Duignan, inherited the business from their father, Jack, who founded the pub in 1963, according to BusinessPlus.

The venue occupies a prominent spot on Howth Road, close to SuperValu and within walking distance of the well-known rugby pub Harry Byrnes. That location has helped the pub maintain steady trade from locals and passing customers.
Premises and food offering
The property covers about 6,000 sq ft over two floors. On the ground level there is a spacious bar, a commercial kitchen, a cold room and an office. A separate carvery and restaurant area are laid out across two dining spaces upstairs.
The menu mixes pub staples with a carvery focus. Mains include items listed at roughly the following prices in the current menu: chicken boutons and chips for €15, a 6oz cheeseburger at €19, and fish and chips for €20.
Sunday dinner is promoted as a key draw, priced at €20 and featuring a rotating roast each week. That offering appears to be a consistent attraction for families and regulars.
Sale details and figures
The Beachcomber is being marketed by John P Younge with a guide price of €6 million. The Irish Independent reports an annual turnover of about €2.7 million, figures that will be central to prospective buyers’ assessments.
Local context
The listing comes at a time when outdoor licensing and al fresco trading are topical for many city pubs. The announcement follows separate local coverage about another Dublin venue that failed to renew its outdoor licence in time for the better weather, highlighting operational and regulatory considerations for any pub operator.
Interested parties would typically carry out detailed due diligence on trading performance, lease and licence terms before proceeding. The combination of size, location and reported turnover makes The Beachcomber a notable offering on the Dublin market.
