--* THE HAPPY PIG

This is the pub belonging to Seamus Finnegan's muggle father. It is a traditional, medium-sized Irish pub, located in the seaside town of Ballybunion in Kerry, Ireland, near the mouth of the Shannon river. It is an exclusively non-magical pub, although of course Seamus and his mother's family and friends are there often. Seamus lives with his parents in the flat above the pub, and he works in the kitchen as a cook. The other employees are various members of Seamus's father's large extended family - all Irish, all Catholic, and all Muggles. The pub is noisy and cheerful, usually full of music and the smells of good food. The downstairs has very standard wooden pub decor,and of course the upstairs flat is private, but there is also a public access to the roof, where tables can be put out in good weather and there is a beautiful view of the ocean in one direction and the river Shannon in the other.
