Professional corkscrew for waitressing. Where to find in Dublin?

Hi Folks.

A friend of mine is heading off to NYC for the summer to do waitressing.

As a little going away gift, I was thinking of getting her a professional (or really good) corkscrew.

Does anyone know where I could get one in Dublin?

I’m not looking for a tungsten tipped bullet proof one, just something more than the standard.

Kitchen Complements in Dublin city centre have two, but they’re a little bit basic.

Thanks Folks.

I used to get really good Waiters Friends (the proper term for the one you are looking for) in the cigar shop across from Trinity, Foxes(?)

Try to get one with a sliding 2 step opener, I found them to be great.

However, don't spend a fortune on one, waiters a fickle bunch, and it'll probably go walkies.

Thanks Sof.

Yeah I'm thinking of having it engraved too to stop that from happening

Thanks again,

If you fancy getting her something else as well, depending on where she is going to to working, a cigar cutter might be a nice little extra as well as the bottle opener.

Again, Foxes (? I really can't remember the name of the shop, sells cigars, has a bunch of Victorinox Swiss Army stuff in the window) would sell these.

Its little things like these that we don't use a lot over here, that make the difference in tips and great tips over there.
