The neighbourhood bar opened on Thomas Street was subject to a fire this weekend that will see it close “for some time”.
Sad news for fans of great Dublin bars and the owners of Love Tempo, the people behind The Big Romance and Mother club, as a fire broke out in the venue over the weekend.
The fire which started, possibly due to an electrical fault, was attended to by the fire brigade, everyone was evacuated and no-one was hurt.
Unfortunately the damage was extensive enough that the bar will close for some time as the venue posted on socials.
“Thank you so much to everyone for all your messages of concern regarding today’s fire. We’re all a bit shaken but just relieved nobody was hurt. It will take a while to assess the damage but unfortunately it looks like we will be closed for some time. Thanks to Dublin Fire Brigade for their incredible work and to our amazing team for reacting so quickly. We’ll keep you updated on any news as have it. Much love.”
The bar opened in December 2023.
