| Johnnie Fox's Pub in Dublin
Johnnie Fox's (Est. 1798) is one of Dublin's oldest and most famous pub's and undoubtedly, the highest licensed premises in Ireland.
It is located, snugly, in the small rural hamlet of Glencullen, high in the heart of the beautiful terrain that ruggedly embroiders the rambling Dublin mountains. The winding roads to Glencullen, take you on a number of breathtaking scenic routes, where the panoramic splendour of South County Dublin can be savoured as you climb.
This pub, has featured prominently, in the historic and social evolution of Ireland and its success today is due to the fact that this unique establishment has refused to bow to the 'whims of modernisation' and steadfastly maintains its nostalgic originality. Indeed these premises today are much the same as Daniel O'Connell would have found them when he frequently used Johnnie Fox's, as one of his favoured safe 'meeting places'.
Always a popular haven for those who love Irish music and culture, Johnnie Fox's in the early 1950's, hosted the popular programme of traditional music and story telling, which was broadcast by Radio Telefis Eireann on Sunday nights. Music and Irish culture is as much alive today as it was then in Johnnie Fox's, with the best of traditional entertainment, dancing, etc. provided seven nights a week. In summertime, sessions in "The Haggard" are an extravaganza not to be missed.
Visitors to this vintage rendezvous, will be pleased to note, that 'Johnnie Fox's Seafood Kitchen' proffers an extensive choice of Seafood Dishes and is acclaimed, for its superb home-cooked-cuisine. Irish Smoked Salmon, Crabmeat, Dublin Bay Prawns, Lobster...
