Pub.
Hardware.
Bicycles.
Since 1899, Foxy John's has been serving pints, selling nails, and renting bikes on Dingle's Main Street. We see no reason to stop now.
Welcome to Foxy John's
Walk through our green doors and you'll notice something odd.
On your left: Guinness, whiskey, the crackle of a trad session starting up.
On your right: screwdrivers, nails, a bicycle pump, and yes, that is rat poison behind the bar.
Welcome to Foxy John's.
The combination you never knew you needed. Part pub, part hardware store, part bicycle rental. All since 1899.
125 years strong
If we were doing something wrong, someone would have mentioned it by now.
What We Do
Three Things, One Shop
Drinks. Hardware. Bikes. We've been doing this since your great-grandparents were young.
The Pub
Guinness. Irish whiskeys. The occasional trad session. We don't serve food, just drinks. The way a pub should be.
The Hardware
Nails, screwdrivers, tape, rubber gloves, chisels. If you need it fixed, we probably have what you need. Ask at the bar.
The Bicycles
Day rentals for exploring the Dingle Peninsula. We'll sort you out with a bike and point you toward Connor Pass.
The Magic Corner
The Snug
Just left of the main entrance. A narrow wooden coffin of a space with a window view and a private drink counter with direct access to the bar.
Get there early. The locals know about it too.
This is how Dingle has always worked: community first, categories second. Need a pint? Need a chisel? Need someone to tell you the best route over Connor Pass?
Pull up a stool.

When Star Wars wrapped filming, they came here.
After filming wrapped on Star Wars: The Last Jedi, the cast needed somewhere to celebrate. Skellig Michael was a short boat ride away. They could have gone anywhere.
Mark Hamill walked in at 11pm with his dog Millie. Daisy Ridley ended up pulling pints behind the bar.
They chose Foxy John's because you can't fake what we have. You certainly can't build it. You can only let 125 years of business make its own kind of sense.
