The Bernard Shaw is heading to the north side of Dublin.

The venue is moving on from its Portobello location after 13 years - to make way for another hotel in the area.

This afternoon the Bodytonic group confirmed the venue is going to reopen at the former Porterhouse on the banks of the Royal Canal on Whitworth Road.

The location is just 700 metres from the Back Page pub in Phibsborough, which is also run by the group.

The new venue may keep the iconic name and will include a down-sized version of its pub, art and performance spaces as well as its outdoor food area.

It is expected to open on the same weekend the south side venue closes its doors at the end of October.

Meanwhile, Irish street artist Irish street artist ESTR has unveiled a new mural at the Portobello location in partnership with Concern worldwide.
