Plans lodged for hotel, entertainment venue for Dublin docklands

February 18, 2025

A 200 seater ‘Baby Vicar’ entertainment venue for Dublin’s docklands “will bring light and life to a dark place”.

That is according to the businessman most associated with the rejuvenation of Dublin’s docklands, Harry Crosbie in a letter accompanying his plans for a 4-star 35 bedroom hotel and the ‘Baby Vicar’ venue at Hanover Quay in Dublin 2.

The hotel and venue will be housed in a two storey glass box as part of an innovative design by PRC Architecture & Planning where the two level glass cube will ‘oversail’ the protected structure at 9 Hanover Quay.

9 Hanover Quay has been the home of Vicar Street owners, Harry and Rita Crosbie for the last 30 years and the planning application involves converting the Crosbie home to hospitality and entertainment mixed use.
