The property formerly home to Downey’s Irish Pub and Restaurant, a landmark South Street establishment that shuttered in 2016, has been put up for sale with zoning approvals for a new mixed-use development.

The Headhouse Square property, located at 526 Front St. and 105-11 South St., was listed on Tuesday without an address for an asking price of $2 million. The property is currently a 3,000-square-foot vacant lot after the four-story building was razed in 2022 following the issuance of a demolition permitin July 2021.

Downey’s opened on South Street in the mid-1970s and became known over the years as a hub for Saint Patrick’s Day festivities. After the original owner sold the pub in 2003, it underwent a tumultuous 13 years under new ownership that ended with its closure.
