There’s a brand new pub opening in Dublin – and it’s the perfect spot for a night out

There’s a brand new pub opening in Dublin’s city centre – and it sounds like the perfect spot for a night out.

In early September, The Crafty Fox will open its doors on Camden Row.

The cosy snug will offer the best in a back-to-basics venue, with a warm and relaxed feel.

Pub revelers can enjoy everything from old Irish slang inspired cocktails to a pint of the black stuff with their lunch or a natter and a drink in the evenings.

The cocktail menu was devised with Irish ingredients in mind, bringing back old favourites like Werther’s Originals in the ‘Aul Fella’ whiskey cocktail mix or TK Lemonade in the ‘Away With The Fairies’ vodka blend.

Other crafty cocktail concoctions include the ‘Jesus, Mary and Joseph’, ‘Me Aul Flower’ and ‘C’mere Till I Tell Ya’ – which have all been lovingly created on-site by the foxes’ mixologists.

But it isn’t only cocktails that they’re going to be serving up at The Crafty Fox.

Other drinks include old time favourites along with a solid local craft beer selection. As keen Irish food lovers, The Crafty Fox is also set to introduce delicious food menu serving lunch and evening bites.

For warmer days, the windows in the space open from floor to ceiling, giving an airy feel to the pub, perfect for those looking to relax in friendly surrounds for a pint and a catch-up with mates.

Speaking about the opening, venue manager Brian Kennedy said:

‘The Crafty Fox is a modern interpretation of a great old Irish pub your grandparents would have enjoyed a pint in.

“Inspired by the fox, we approach all things in the pub with charm and ingenuity. Everything from the drinks menu to the photos on the wall have been carefully chosen with craft, quality and nod to the old Irish snug in mind.

“We want the pub to be a space where people can relax and enjoy a drink in the depths of winter in a cosy snug.

“In the summer our floor to ceiling windows will provide a cool hideaway off Camden street. We’re very much looking forward to opening in early September.”

The Crafty Fox will keep its doors open from 12 noon to 12 midnight seven days a week. The venue has a capacity of 120 along with a small outdoor backyard which is lovingly known as ‘The Potting Shed’ .

This area features a direct door in to Opium’s Botanical Garden, giving customers the opportunity to continue their night into the small hours.
