McGonagles Pub & Restaurant: Irish Village Landscape Mural by J Lenore Designs in Boston

This mural at McGonagle’s Pub & Restaurant in Dorchester, MA is a full-on love letter to Ireland—and to where it all started for the owner, who grew up in the colorful coastal village of Moville, County Donegal. It turns a big blank wall into a warm, welcoming scene that instantly transports you to the Irish seaside, complete with charming row houses, rugged cliffs, and that unmistakable coastal vibe. As someone who spent three incredible years living in Ireland, I poured my love for the culture, the landscapes, and the pub life into every brushstroke. From the peaceful shoreline to the playful Guinness toucan perched proudly up front, this mural mixes heart, heritage, and a bit of cheeky fun—just like a good Irish pub should. It’s more than a backdrop—it’s a storytelling moment that brings the space to life and gives guests an instant feel for the roots and personality behind McGonagle’s. Cozy, colorful, and 100% authentic—this mural sets the tone for good craic and even better company.
