What User likes about The Fox's Den:
When we visited the caves, the barmaid spoke through the caves. She brought us to the house, too. Then we called back to a pint. The craic from the bar maid is worth a visit and its knowledge about the caves. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about The Fox's Den:
Thr place was packed but we got a small table in a back room. Unfortunately this was right beside a leaky window where I got dripped on periodically. The food was good pub fare though so a good meal was had. I really enjoed the mussels that available in main meal size. View all feedback.

Nestled near the Caves of Keash, Fox’s Den offers a delightful blend of authentic Irish ambiance and hearty pub fare. Recent visitors praise its friendly atmosphere, warm service, and diverse menu ranging from comforting pizzas to exquisite seafood like salmon en croute and smoked trout fishcakes. Guests are charmed by its courteous staff, who go above and beyond, even serving toasted sandwiches during off-hours. The restaurant, recently reopened and revitalizing local culture, feels like a community hub where families and travelers alike gather. With tasty craft beers and a welcoming vibe, Fox’s Den is a must-visit culinary gem.

Went with the family after visiting the local caves. We came in the afternoon and had chips, pizza and a few pints. Our hosts were incredibly courteous and we h...
