An ugly in-your-face power-pole, obscuring the Bierhaus

It's been hard to get a good photo of Galway's Bierhaus for a long time, thanks to the in-your-face power pole splattered right outside.  And then "they" painted it bright pink, just to rub things in.   But today, it looked like a pretty pic with the pole front-and-centre.

The mural on the background is titled Madra Dubh, sponsored by Beamish and inspired by the legend of the Black Dog who would crawl from the Corrib and follow anyone who dared to cross Wolfe Tone Bridge after midnight.  I'm sure that there's no truth in the rumours that it was publicans from "The West" who kept his story alive.  😄

Thank you!
