The Brass Fox
Leitrim Place, Wicklow Town, Co. Wicklow
About
The Brass Fox is on Leitrim Place at the northern edge of the town centre, which puts it a two-minute walk from the Murrough, and it is the obvious stop at the end of that walk. It trades as a gastropub, with a kitchen doing breakfast through to steak and seafood alongside salads and cocktails, and it shares ownership with the Grey Dog cafe a few doors up. It is a modern operation rather than an old snug, which in a town with plenty of old snugs is part of the appeal.
