Davy Byrne's Pub - Lestrygonians

Bloom continues on down O’Connell St passing a sweet shop. It’s nearly lunchtime. On O’Connell bridge he feeds the seagulls. Sandwichmen march slowly towards him with letters on their hats: H. E. L. Y. S. He meets Mrs Breen, Josie Powell that was. Her husband Denis Breen has been sent a postcard - U.P.: up - Someone taking a rise out of him. She tells him that Mina Purefoy has been in the lying-in hospital in Holles street for three days. He walks on past Trinity’s surly front. On Grafton St he passed the windows of Brown Thomas. “with hungered flesh obscurely, he mutely craved to adore”. After refusing to eat at the Burton, he orders a gorgonzola sandwich and glass of burgundy at Davy Byrne’s, moral pub.
