N0280 Walshs

Next door to, and fairly similar in scale and style to, The Drop Inn; this pub was notable for having run out of my standard pub ticking pint (Smithwicks); and also having more visible Republican stuff on show than common in Dublin pubs - albeit this is still not unheard of (S2517 Peadar Brown's being very proud of their rebel songs events, pin badge sales display and so on); and indeed it was one of the main distinguishing factors between the pubs in Dungloe that were referenced in the previous writeup.

Something else interesting, but rather hard to photograph without drawing massive attention to myself, is that there is a ceramic model of the pub, in the pub - on the shelves behind the bar. There's a number of pubs that have a Lego model of themselves on display, but I've not seen one in ceramic before.
