An old shop a little on the unfriendly side. The exterior is more noteworthy with its great big Guinness clock looking out over the Royal Canal where the Brendan Behan statue can be seen. Bird taxidermy is encased in the lounge where perhaps it contains the famous Red Parrot itself. Is it a Beamish Bonder?
