The Quinte region is soon going to have a pair of locations, with a flare for the Irish.
Recently, Prime Pubs, the owner Finn McCool’s Irish Pubs, donated its furnishings from their now closed Esplanade location, to CFB Trenton.
The new Earl of Bessborough Social house has officially opened at 8 Wing, with furniture, mill work, light fixtures and wall art from the pub in Toronto.
Senior Director of Prime Pubs Dean Campbell says they’re thrilled to support those serving in the military.
Meantime, the company has also selected Belleville as one of their next locations.
Finn McCool’s is expected to open next year, on North Front Street, beside the new Starbucks and Mucho Burrito.
Campbell says the Quinte region just made sense.
Campbell says they will need a franchisee before construction can begin.
