The Dodderbank Distillery was owned by the Haig family.[1] It was founded in 1795 by Robert Haig (1764-1834), whose sister had married John Jameson.[2]
By 1802 it was one of the largest distilleries in Dublin.[2] The distillery was forced to close by the Revenue Commissioners, and was then bought by Aeneas Coffey, who ran it until the 1840s.[1] The site was then purchased by a builder who built housing along Newbridge Avenue.[1]
