On Drury Street since 2013

Chris Keegan opened Kaph in the summer of 2013, at 31 Drury Street, where a clothing shop had just closed. Before that he worked in his family’s commercial property business, and before that he ran a juice bar in Ranelagh.

Drury Street is in the heart of Dublin’s Creative Quarter, and Kaph has become one of its fixtures: a curved copper counter downstairs, more seats upstairs, and the bench out front.

“I’d much rather work with people than bricks.”
