Property Description

Positioned in a prime location on Bray’s Main Street, adjacent to Dunnes Stores, this is an excellent high street café/restaurant opportunity with a fully fitted kitchen. The property was previously occupied by the well-known O’Briens Sandwich Bar and still retains some internal features reflective of that branding. Well configured for café or restaurant use, the premises offers a ready-to-trade setup for similar operators, while also suiting a variety of alternative commercial uses, subject to the relevant planning permission. Its location provides strong visibility and steady footfall, making it appealing to a wide range of occupiers.

The property comprises a fully fitted ground floor restaurant extending to 174.5 sq.m, with an open kitchen layout and seating for around 90 people. It is presented in reasonably good condition and is arranged to facilitate an efficient operational flow between front-of-house and kitchen areas. To the rear, a private yard of 138.6 sq.m provides access to a public car park, offering added convenience for customers. At first floor level, the accommodation includes ladies and gents toilet facilities, a staff room with w.c. extending to approximately 11.9 sq.m, an office of 11.7 sq.m, and a store room measuring 15.6 sq.m.

Occupying a prominent trading position on Main Street, Bray, this property enjoys high visibility and consistent footfall, positioned immediately adjacent to Dunnes Stores. Bray is a vibrant and well-established urban centre with a substantial residential and commercial catchment. It is exceptionally well connected, serviced by both Dart and bus routes, and offers direct access to the M11 and M50 motorways. Situated approximately 20km south of Dublin City Centre, Bray continues to grow as a key commercial hub within the Greater Dublin Area.

Accommodation Note
The quoted floor area of 174.5 sq.m refers to the operational ground floor space, which includes the main restaurant and kitchen area. While the first-floor accommodation includes toilets, a staff room, office and storage, it is not factored into the quoted floor area or unit rate. However, there is scope for an incoming occupier to adapt some of this space for additional customer use, depending on their operational model and fit-out preferences.
