The Irish Club is moving back upstairs in Tara House
The QIA’s Board of Directors is pleased to announce that a lease has been signed for a section of the ground floor of Tara House. This area includes the space currently occupied by the Whiskey Bar and the Bunratty Bistro.
From Thursday, 6th November 2014, a Japanese and Korean restaurant and bar will become the commercial tenants for this part of the ground floor. The decision to lease a section of the building has been made to ensure the longevity and commercial viability of the Queensland Irish Association. In this regard the lease will provide an ongoing guaranteed revenue stream to underpin the continued activities of the Association.
This commercial leasing arrangement means that the Association’s operations will move back to the first floor of Tara House from Thursday November 6, with QIA Members being able to enjoy the traditional surroundings provided by the Tara Ballroom and other adjoining heritage-listed rooms that have been primarily reserved for functions and other non-Member activities for nearly a decade.
Rest assured, the QIA will still be serving meals and pouring your favourite Guinness in the beautiful Munster Bar.…
