I must admit that I had not noticed this pub before and it would appear that it opened to the public about two years ago.

Francis Street is located in an area known as the Liberties.

The Liberties hosts regular performances in theatres, bars, music venues and night clubs. The Tivoli Theatre, located on Francis Street, can accommodate 450 theatre patrons, or a standing audience of around 1,000. Music venues include Vicar Street, on Thomas Street, hosting comedy, drama and concerts, with capacity for 1,500, and The Thomas House, specialised in punk, rock and reggae music.

It should be noted that the Tivoli Theatre is due to be redeveloped and be replaced by a five-storey, 289-bed aparthotel. The planning go-ahead had an unusual condition as the owner of the Tivoli is required to
preserve the graffiti art contained within the site by photographic record which should be undertaken by a professional photographer.
