Cultural vandalism.
How did they get planning permission for this?
That is unfortunate.
Good gawd…. they puked on it!
…it’ll be nice when it’s finished…nicer when it’s open…
Maybe the wood was damaged and needed to be sealed to protect from water damage or rot?
Maybe they’ll paint it with an overcoat that matches the original wood colour?
Maybe it’s not as bad as it looks?
Please?
That is horrendous.
That was a faux wood effect painted on to begin with.
No need to panic…
Exactly. This is the undercoat before the “wood effect” varnish goes on.
Ahhhh, okey doke. Thought it looked undercoatey :)
When I first went into Mulligans, lo those many moons ago, I but a mere lad, on his first foray alone to the Big Smoke. A friendly local directed me down this dark, smelly, unlit street and I feared for my safety.
But I had little to fear, as St John Mulligan Sr reached out of the dark and wrapped me in his warm embrace! I have never looked back since.
Honestly, when first I saw it, I thought the ‘8’s on either end were St and Sr respectively. I am still happy to use the former :-)
Apt username
Mulligan’s outside is famously “grained” It’s an old and noble craft of paining and decorating. What you see in the photo is the “base coat” Soon you’ll see a true craftsman or woman at work.
I once spent a happy afternoon, half-cut, watching a craftsman re-paint the lettering over the door by hand. It is a remarkable skill.
Ah heyor.

Keep these crap over priced pubs closed I say
…you didn’t like my Brendan Behan quote…and him a painter…like to have seen you call him a sad loser back in the day…
Ok boomer
I worked in Ernie’s caff, round the corner. We had a couple of nice jams in there after we closed up and would nip around to Mulligans for some take out scoops to aid the process.
Lovely.
