Photo Hunt - Dark
The theme for this week's Photo Hunt is dark. This photo was taken in the Malpaso Bar in Millstreet on a quiet Monday evening. It may be a small pub but I love it.
I was in Ireland in June. Love your country!! Gives a whole new meaning to the word green. :) We didn't find this cozy pub, but did find a couple we really liked. Thanks for a sharing a great shot.
Your entry is dark indeed! Love the photos you had...Have a great weekend! Oh! let me share this quotation, " Life is like a box of chocolates, you'll never know what you gonna get "... Sounds familiar right? Its from Forest Gump Movie- So, enjoy life, take it easy and savor the time you been down..Keep moving 'cause life is precious...God Bless..c",)
It sure looks like a very cool place to hangout. I actually prefer smaller pubs than the bigger ones. It's more relaxing to hangout in such places, in my opinion ;)

Good photo-journalistic sort of shot.
What a great shot - looks like a poster!
Happy Weekend.
Dark! Dark? Ooo, I see, dark. Sorry it's so blindingly bright out here in the sunshine with the lap top on my .....er......knees.
Cheers
Looks like a neighborhood bar. We lived in Baltimore Md and every neighborhood had a little bar like this.
I love small pubs, they're just so much more intimate than large bars! have a great weekend :-)
That's a great photo. I love small pubs, there's usually such a great atmosphere.

Small pubs are great ! I enjoy it now here in Eastbourne !
Very atmospheric and great shot! I prefer small pubs by far.
This is one great shot..
It's great to have a place to go and be relaxed! Does everybody know your name there?
A pub should be small and dark! Good shot...
It looks very inviting, very nice choice for the theme!
Quite a dark moment that seems to be waiting for a story to happen! Great pic!
Great shot! The monochrome works beautifully for the atmosphere!

Mine's posted. Stop by if you can. You can see a dark sinister creature. [kidding of course] Have a super weekend.
Cheers Jams.
I am surprised that there is a quiet bar. Most bars I have seen are either too rowdy or noisy.
Nice, Monday night small crowd when You wanna go where everybody knows your name. Great picture
There is nothing wrong with a small pub. I think I see a stool calling my name now!
I was in Ireland in June. Love your country!! Gives a whole new meaning to the word green. :) We didn't find this cozy pub, but did find a couple we really liked. Thanks for a sharing a great shot.
It's a neat shot too! Did you TAKE it in B&W or edit it? I like that effect on this... probably adds to the "dark" feel too...
It looks like a very cozy place to be.
Very atmospheric! Is it in Ireland? It doens't look like an Essex pub!
Love it, looks so inviting! I plan on finding a few cozy pubs like this one when I'm in Ireland next Spring!!!
lovely ambiance, so relaxing..
Dark, Gloomy but Popular
Looks very inviting indeed! Nice one:)
So... would the photo have been as dark if it hadn't been converted into black and white? ;b
looks like one of those scenes in the old movies...

It's a lovely photo.
The feeling of your photo reminds me of that "Nighthawks" painting!
reminds of the Hopper painting - nighthawks, very moody

Cool photo. It looks like the scene out of a movie.
That's doesn't seems like the noisy pub like it always did. That's a cozy place. May be it's the effect of the black and white? :P
Cool, small pubs are the best I think :)
My Digital Life
THanks everyone
Very moody shot Jams. Well done.
Is that some kind of a Mafia meeting? Heheh. Great job Jams!
Always enjoy a good ub, but prefer a well-lit one as I am typically playing cards or trivia. I took a different slant on the theme.
