Son of a Bun Eyes Western Road Expansion

Son of a Bun is set to open its second location in Cork, transforming Reidy’s Vault Bar on Western Road into a new restaurant. The husband-and-wife team, Niall and Amanda O’Regan, already run the popular MacCurtain Street spot. Plans include major internal reconfigurations, a new prep kitchen in the old yard, and a shift from pub to restaurant — all while respecting the building’s protected status. The Reidy family, longtime operators of the bar, sold it earlier this year to “established hospitality operators,” and the premises has already been cleared out in a recent auction. This move adds to the vibrant hospitality scene near UCC and the city center, promising more buzz for Western Road. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
