“The boys have just come back from Australia and it’s the career they want to pursue,” said Patrick McCarthy.
“They were in Australia for two and a half years working in bars over, so they know the business and this is an ideal opportunity for them,” he said.
“It’ll be slightly different to Paddy Mac’s with an old-style feel to it,” said Patrick, who wouldn’t reveal the new name for the bar just yet.
New jobs will be created at the new venture which will be the latest addition to Tralee’s bar scene, with Nightjar in the Square due to open under a new name in the very near future.
