Luigi Malone’s Clock

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008 by Donncha

Behind the bar in Luigi Malone’s in are 2 large faces. The bar goes around in a U shape and the other face is directly behind this one.

They’re very striking, and the first thing anyone notices when they come in the front door. This is the one facing the dining area. In the dark it practically jumps out at you!

A table at Memphis Minnies

There wasn’t much left after we ate a hearty in Memphis Minnies. Plates, cutlery, cups and sauces.. all eaten! Great place to eat.

On the way out I made a shot of their “low fat=low flavor” advert and I just realised I spelt the name of the establishment incorrectly in my first post! Doh!
