Both gangsters gained global notoriety following an audacious armed attack at a boxing weigh-in at Dublin’s Regency hotel in February.
He was pronounced dead at the scene which has been sealed off.
Tonight’s murder follows a spate of fatal shootings in the capital.
A man with links to the IRA has been shot dead in a pub in Dublin.
In retaliation for the Regency hotel attack, gangsters loyal to Kinahan have since shot dead Hutch’s brother, taxi driver Eddie Hutch, 59, and later a cigarette smuggler Noel “Mr Kingsize” Duggan.
There, another man also in his 30’s – was shot dead.
Hutch’s gang launched the attack in revenge for the murder of Hutch’s nephew, Gary, by Kinahan’s men in Spain last September.
The murder at the Sunset House bears the hallmarks of another attack against a wide group of people linked to the Hutch side of the feud.
He said: “Apparently, a guy came into the bar and there were three shots”.
“There was a special needs chap in the place having a pint and he’s in a awful state”.
“And a lot of young mothers were there and there was a big match on the television and it was almost over when this happened”.
Local Labour TD Aodhan O Riordain appealed for calm.

It is not known if there was any gangland connection to the second shooting. “Calm needed now at all costs”, he said.
