Elf on the Shelf Damo lost the run of himself on first night behind the bar at Galway's An Púcán

A GALWAY pub employed an elf on the Shelf named Damo as part of their bar staff - and he had a ball on his first night behind the bar. 

Damo is part of the Elf on the Shelf phenomenon where Santa Claus sends his elf helpers to watch over children at their homes in the run to Christmas.

In this instance, however, it appears Damo the Elf got himself a job behind the bar at Galway's An Púcán pub and had the time of his life last night sampling both its food and drinks.

From taking advantage of its staff meals, to sampling the Christmas cocktails and guzzling Guinness, this elf create quite a stir online.

Speaking about Damo's big night out last night, marketing manager of the pub Doug Leddin said: "Damo starts his first day today and no doubt he'll be useless over the lead up to Christmas."

"We just thought it would create a bit of fun [using Damo the Elf] and get people in the Christmas spirit," he said, "We always like to think outside the box."
