Chippendale's Lord Gladstone Pub to Be Renamed Lord Gallen for the NRL Grand Final

It's usually only politicians, land owners and military leaders who get pubs named after them. But, this NRL Grand Final, Chippo's Lord Gladstone is flipping the tradition. For one glorious weekend, the pub will change its name to Lord Gallen, after Sharks captain Paul Gallen.

"Even though we're not in the Shire, we decided for this week only to rename the pub in honour of the great man Paul Gallen," said publican and Glad owner Paddy Coughlan. "We love the Sharkies and, in particular, Paul Gallen — and how he's led the team all year is remarkable. I think everyone in Sydney will be adopting the Sharks as their team for this Sunday's Grand Final and we're no different."

Behold:

What's more, Lord Gallen's also getting a humble Glad dish dedicated to him — because nobility dammit. Between today and game day, you'll be able to order Pico Degallen Fajitas for ten bucks at lunch and dinner time. This puntastic meal comes with chicken breast, salsa verde, rice, cheese and jalapenos, topped with salsa rojo, melted cheese and... Pico DeGallen. Hee!

"Paul Gallen has some mongrel in him and we love a bit of mongrel. With any luck, he, Benny Barba and Jack Bird can bring home a premiership to the Shire and the rest of Sydney," says Paddy.

Find the Lord Gallen at 115 Regent St, Chippendale. Long may he reign.
