Strategy
We have developed a robust financial plan to scale Quinn’s over the next four years. While pubs can be highly profitable businesses, consistent revenue growth depends on one thing: events. Quinn’s is uniquely positioned to capitalise on the 15–25 major events held annually at Croke Park, while also creating its own events calendar to drive regular trade and maximise profitability.
Our business benefits from several complementary and diversified revenue streams:
-
Local Trade and DCU Market
Quinn’s is a well-known and respected Irish pub with deep brand recognition, especially in the Dublin and DCU communities. -
Croke Park Event Revenue
Located next to Ireland’s largest stadium, Quinn’s expects event-driven sales of €1.25–€1.75 million annually, including from GAA finals, major concerts, and now Leinster Rugby matches. -
Late-Night Venue Revenue
As a large-scale nightlife venue, Quinn’s will host weekend festivals and club nights for over 1,000 patrons, creating a rare city-fringe nightlife destination. -
Food Yard Rental Income
Our outdoor Food Yard will host up to 20 rotating vendors, generating over €250,000 per year in rental income while enhancing the venue’s food offering and customer dwell time. -
Guest Accommodation
We’ve completed 9 boutique bedrooms above the pub, with plans to expand further. We forecast €350,000–€400,000 in net accommodation revenue annually.
Following years of disruption from COVID-19 and inflationary pressures, Dublin’s hospitality landscape is undergoing rapid change. Many businesses have exited the market—creating opportunity for fresh, well-capitalised venues. Quinn’s carries no warehoused tax liabilities or COVID-era loans, and our business model has been deliberately structured to maintain low payroll overheads, with wages targeted at less than 22% of turnover—a key profitability metric in today’s market.
Led by experienced operators Jay Bourke and Simon Kelly, Quinn’s is more than a heritage pub—it’s a scalable hospitality platform. As an investor, you’re backing a proven team as well as a landmark venue with outsized potential.

Valuation Potential
Based on our projected EBITDA of approximately €1.2 million by 2027, the business could achieve a valuation in the range of €9.5 million to €14.5 million, applying an industry-standard multiple of 8x to 12x EBITDA. This offers investors the potential for strong equity growth, especially as the business stabilises and scales further.
We also have potential to expand the business with the development of addition Hospitality and Accommodation Spaces.
