Bruxelles Pub, Harry Street, Dublin - 575

An acrylic painting on stretched canvas of Bruxelles 'cosmopolitan' pub on Harry Street, Dublin, just off Grafton Street has a lovely architectural facade outside with a pretty terracotta turret and has three busy bars inside that regularly put on live music.

In fact the pub is has a long music tradition and  it was a frequent hang out spot for the famous Irish rock band Thin Lizzy and a statue to their lead singer and bass player, Phil Lynott, can be seen on the pavement just outside the bar in this picture.

Sometimes my interest is piqued and I like to research some of my painting subjects, especially Dublin street scenes and pubs and bars and am often amazed at some of the snippets of curious information I come across. Follow this link to read one or two about Bruxelles Pub ...
