Plans to Convert JD's Bar into Tourism Accommodation
One of Kerry's most famous bars, JD's Bar and Venue in Ballybunion, is set to be converted into hotel-style apartments for tourists under newly unveiled plans.
Sean Browne, co-owner of JD's, is applying for planning permission to change the use of the iconic nightclub and bar into a 16-bedroom aparthotel.
- The aparthotel will have an extension with 22 residential units out the back.
- JD's has been a popular bar and nightclub among locals and visitors for decades, especially during the summer season.
No official statement has been released regarding the potential impact on the local community.
A planning application has been lodged with Kerry County Council to transform the venue into an aparthotel with residential units.
