For Richard and his friends...

Introducing the new Peacock's and James Joyce Bistro...I think you're going to love it! They managed to keep most of the old outdoor sign and also a couple of the old murals.

Robert Amos did the new murals and he is a great James Joyce fan along with David Peacock so the mural work on the walls combines paintings of Joyce characters and friends with the author's writing from Ulysses, Finnegan's Wake and other stories. He also painted several Baltic birch table tops in washed brown with verse, detailed Celtic knots and scenes from Joyce's writings. Peacock-feather-print fabrics- and the colourful mascot from the old place- as well as leather couches and stuffed designer chairs, iron-and-wood tables and cosy booths are throughout.
