Historic Athy pub set to reopen under new owners
Andersons in Emily Square, Athy
An iconic bar in Athy will reopen in the coming days under its new owners.
Market House, better known as ‘Andersons’, was sold at a public auction last month in the Keadeen Hotel in Newbridge to local entrepreneurs Dan and Edwina Curtis.
Dan took to social media to reveal they will be opening on Friday 23 August at 5pm and invited people to come and help them celebrate the big occasion.
Dan and Edwina, who run The Auld Shebeen, have received plenty of well-wishes and support on social media, with people delighted that Andersons will remain in local ownership.
“I think everyone is delighted it went to local people,” Dan told the previously.
The proud Athy man confirmed that there are no plans to change the iconic name.
“All we want to do is make sure it stays as Andersons,” he said, adding that they want to continue its legacy. “It has a great customer base and we’d love to see that customer base just build from there.”
