Johnnie Fox's Pub

With tradition, live music and more than 200 years of history, Johnnie Fox's pub has become almost a symbol of Dublin. You'll find it on the outskirts of the city, in Glencullen, and it claims to be the highest pub in Ireland. It's certainly among the most authentic that I went into. It's popular with the rich and famous who visit Dublin, as you can see by the photo of the Prince of Asturias which hangs outside the bathroom. They have a menu specialising in fish, and offer "Hooley Nights": a four courses meal, traditional Irish music, and dancing. The show, choreographed by Joey Comerford, has been described as one of the country's best cultural shows.
