Bold colours used reflect the boldness of Thomas Dudley, the bar’s namesake. The colour palette carries through from the facade to within, representing the liveliness and character of the man himself, someone synonymous with the area.

Bringing the energy and the life back to this heritage venue was key to the success of this project. The concept narrative with everything here was ‘Good Old Dublin’, with a youthful twist.
Mortar & More were engaged to create a vibrant venue, reflecting the area of the Liberties while retaining the heritage of Baker’s Bar in all its original glory.
Now named Dudley’s after the local character, Thomas Dudley, a colourful Dublin personality fondly known by his nickname ‘Bang Bang’, the design took influence from his character.
It was critical for us and our client to create a palette that was reflective Bang Bangs vibrancy and to design around existing elements which we purposefully restored and refinished.
Peeking through the facade with a welcoming glow, the interior calls passersby into the space. The traditional ‘bar’ colours on the front sets a tone for what’s to be expected within.
