On one of the rare days where the sun was shining in Dublin, I took a walk along the Liffey River on a Saturday morning to get to the Old Jameson Distillery. Now, Saturday morning in Dublin is a little like a ghost town – everyone was out partying the night before and spending the morning recovering, so there was hardly anyone on the streets, and many of the shops were closed when I went walking.
I did come across a few interesting shop fronts, including one really mysterious one that I need your help with, check it out:
But of all the shopfronts, this one in particular caught my attention:
It’s just so mysterious looking right? All black exterior, a red door, what do you think it sells?
Now I could have walked over and see if there was better signage on the other side, or found a poster or something, but I thought leaving it to my imagination would be more fun. Anyone has a creative shop name that fits in with those letters? Feel free to elaborate and let your imagination run away with you!

via Priscilla: As a Dublin local I can tell you that you were close with the name of the mysterious building. It was a pub that is now closed down called The Quill. It was one of the oldest pubs in Dublin – around 400 years old. I found out that it played a role in an escape plot by rebels during the 1916 Easter Rising.
How cool is that! I’m just a little sad that 400 years of heritage seems to have closed down, boo!
