The Abbey Road mural, painted by Paul Curtis on the side of the Cains Brewery on Grafton Street, lays out the scene of The Beatles' iconic Abbey Road album cover. The mural depicts a zebra-striped crossing laid across with cars and the street in the background.
You may be surprised, but this mural doesn’t have any of The Beatles in it. Instead, this design allows visitors to become one of the Fab Four themselves, and take a photo to recreate the unforgettable image. While a stop for photos at the mural doesn't take all that long, there's plenty more to see and do nearby to fill your day.

Good to know when visiting Abbey Road mural
If you’d like to spend longer in the Abbey Road mural area, the Baltic Triangle, as it’s called, has a lot to offer on its own. Cains Brewery, where the mural is located, is referred to as Cains Brewery Village because it’s a hub of spots to eat and shop. Known as an artistic and cultural space, there are plenty of restaurants, bars, venues and festivals to enjoy here.
Baltic Market is a lovely food market that offers a wide range of options, even with those looking for diet-specific options such as gluten-free or vegan, but still offers plenty of choices for meat enthusiasts as well.
