Where to start with this man. Mr Hope Street. Thank you for the years of kindness, honesty, help and advice. After a total of 54 years on this street, it’s time to enjoy being a punter. Paddy has been an inspiration for us since opening our doors as 26 year olds in 2019. His story in our city is a famous one. Paddy took the leap on when he too was 26 and worked tirelessly to give a platform for local artists to meet, share ideas and try out new projects whilst also delivering a quality hospitality experience. He turned the Everyman bistro in to a hotbed of creative activity, hosting countless big names and personalities. Many a famous creative tale in this city will mention Paddy.

In the hospitality world, his eye for detail is incredible, whether that be with service, decor, table layouts, menu design, the lot. Constantly looking for ways to improve, develop and fine tune his offering. He welcomed us with open arms in to the Pen Factory, as he has with everyone when we crossed the road for a Friday night pint.

He watched from across the road as we took over our site on Hope Street. He was drawn over by the noise and colour. He made sure to look after us, support where he could and make sure our teams came together to help one another. (Much more them helping us) We have shared a few nights, drinking a negroni, talking of times gone by and what is to come and we know through those nights he saw in us a glimmer of what he was doing many moons ago.

Paddy, your legacy on this iconic street will be unmatched. Thanks for all the time and support you have given us.

See you soon for a negroni. ❤️
