Rover’s Fancy
An Irish-themed pub found at 71, North Side Diagon Alley, London. Owned by Rufus Delacroix and Pádraig Cormac it opened in May 2007. It has a reputation for a good atmosphere, and live music.
"Opened in May 2007, Rover's Fancy has been a mainstay in the public's eyes of the wizarding folk in London, England.
Only mere steps from the Leaky Cauldron, Rover's Fancy has been first and foremost a place for all magical folk to come and enjoy a pint or two.
Aside the well poured drinks, traditional Irish fare have been given modern twists: Bangers with colcannon mixed with smoky bacon, shepherd's pie with curry mash on top, even the fish and chips with a spicy sambal yoghurt dipping sauce are only just a few to name.
The owners, Rufus Delacroix and Pádraig Cormac, are shining examples of what people have come to expect when thinking of Irish hospitality.
March 2008 found the arrival of Pigs Can't Fly in Muggle London. Both are doing well and exceeding expectations all around. Give either a try and you'll swear you're there in Dublin town in no time."
