Johnnie Fox's, Traditional pub in Glencullen, Ireland.
Johnnie Fox's is a stone pub located in Glencullen with multiple dining rooms and bar areas spread throughout the building, featuring traditional wooden furnishings and open fireplaces. The kitchen serves dishes including fresh seafood, pies, and other Irish preparations.
The pub was established in 1798 during a time of major political transformation in Ireland, becoming a gathering place for the community. It has operated continuously through centuries of changes in Irish society.
Irish musicians perform daily sessions throughout the pub while diners experience traditional cooking techniques for dishes like Beef and Guinness Pie, connecting to local food traditions.
The pub sits in mountain terrain south of Dublin and requires either a car or arranged transportation from the city, as public transport access is limited. Visitors should book tables in advance, especially for groups or evenings with live performances.
The establishment sits at about 300 meters (1,000 feet) elevation in the Wicklow Mountains, making it Ireland's highest pub. This mountain setting creates a quieter environment distinct from lowland establishments.
