The Crafty Fox

Saw on Twitter that there's a new bar/restaurant opening specializing in craft and world beers.

Anyone know any more about this?

Not yet, but I like the name!

Have you a link to the tweet? I've been searching and I can't find it so far.

I'd say if someone knows anything about it then it would be Beer Baron, that's his area afaik.

Only places I can think of would be Riddlers or the Bitter End/Foxys?

Says Denmark Street and a mobile number

Great name for a bar, and I always loved the concept of craft bars.


All hail the Fox I say.

Wicked Chicken owners? Name and turntables...?

You'd think so but I know nothing.

I'm only back in the door from a holiday so learning about this now. AFAIK the guy from the Chicken went off to Dublin but that may have changed.

I did know a guy who looked at Foxys but it was too big but if it's Denmark Street then maybe it's Whelans. Play on the word Foxy.

Don't forget Smyths & The Icon. Plenty of animals go there

Don't forget the spotted dog.

I like to see more decent pubs opening, with decent beer, but If it is the Whelans bar, that building seems to be a magnet for, scrotes.

If they police the door properly, it could be a great bar. If they take the same lax attitude that the previous incarnations had, then I for one will be staying away from it.

That place was gutted in the spring. The plaque from the front wall is gone too. Looks like it's no longer going to be used as a bar.

The Black Swan -- come to think of it, there are two of those!........one in Annacotty the other on Davis St.

we still have the unicorn, and in times past had the pink elephant and termights.

see, animal names everywhere! Great to see new pubs opening but a bit of imagination wouldn't go astray when naming them ( imo)!

The Moose

...and now closed for a while, but The Pike Inn was a big enough draw in it's day.

Back on topic though, I presume is it a given that whatever craft beer pub might be opening hopes to replicate say The Porterhouse in Dublin? i.e., no Guinness/Bud/Carlsberg taps whatsoever?

rainbowdash

pushing it a small bit but rashers and small claws might make the list:D

The Dark Horse out in Patrickswell.

I think this name is probably meant as more of a play on "craft beer".

I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of a range they do anyway. 8 Degrees, Trouble Brewing, Corca Dhuibhne, Carlow Brewing Co and some of the Porterhouse range would be nice for Irish produce.

Quite. Or, say, the Bull and Castle in Dublin — popped in last month just for a quick glass, but spent all evening there with tasting trays.

They do 30 different craft beers mostly irish and constantly changing (Tom Creans, 8 Degrees, o haras, Trouble brewing, Dungarvan etc) in Michael Flannerys Pub across from Icon and have Frannziskanner, Leffe, etc all on Tap. I would say they have one of the largest craft beer selections and a nice clientelle which as Source said is important.

I had no idea! Haven't been in that bar in ages. I'll have to pop in some evening this week.

They've got quite a nice selection of alternative beer/ale's too!
