Established by Liam and Kim Dolan in 1983, the Claddagh Room and the Olde Dublin Pub upstairs (established in 1985) transformed Sydney Street from a relatively quiet side street into a prime Charlottetown food destination. Renamed Claddagh Oyster House in 2006, the restaurant was known for fresh, local ingredients and casual fine dining, featuring world-renowned Island oysters and Certified PEI Beef. Their partnerships with Island farmers and fishers are evident in every bite.
In 2018, Claddagh Oyster House and Olde Dublin Pub were sold to new owners: Kent MacPhee and Kent Scales, two prominent Island businessmen. MacPhee, an owner and former CEO of Advantage Communications, grew up working at his parents’ restaurant, the Bonnie Brae in Cornwall. Scales, CEO of the Scales Group of Companies, operates a diverse range of Island businesses, including ServiceMaster, Kensington Agricultural Services Ltd., Landfest Inc., and Robin’s Donuts.
