I used to work in Tallaght and there were frequent attempts to organise "nights out" in the town - that usually ended up with everyone just going to (the now closed) S1593 The Cuckoos Nest nearer the office and leaving by about 8. The usual intended destinations were either S3176 The Abberley Court Hotel - or Blu Bar. Blu Bar closed down before we ever managed to actually get there, though; and remained closed for a while.
That premises is now The Brass Fox - or at least the bar area is, as they are not operating the nightclub that was the main attraction in the Blu Bar and later Madison eras of the premises.
The Brass Fox started off in Wicklow Town and this is their second premises. Its a food-centric offering, as is now becoming quite common in suburbia; and the food and drink lineup are quite similar to what you'll get elsewhere - 1012552 The Maple Tree in Saggart from a few weeks ago comes to mind.
With the offering being food-led in mind; I headed here for lunch. I actually went for two starters from the menu rather than any of the mains; one of which was voluminous enough to be a main course, if anyone would actually order a goats cheese and pastry concoction as main!
Despite being defeated by the sheer quantity of goats cheese in front of me, I enjoyed it, and the buttermilk chicken strips that were the other order. The tap lineup isn't the most thrilling, but there were Franciscan Well products at least.
