name

Etymology: Clipping of Devonshire.

  1. The Devonshire Arms, an alternative pub in Camden, London.

    The Dev was a long-standing favourite, as was Hawley Arms and The World's End, but he found greater pleasure in seeking out the smaller, lesser known bars and pubs.

    The vampire community offers a variety of activities, ranging from obscure events, such as carve your own tombstone, gothic belly dancing, and Kensal Green Cemetery walks to more regular pub and club nights at alternative venues, such as The Dev (the Devonshire Arms, Camden), the Intrepid Fox, Slimelight, and Torture Garden.

noun

Etymology: From Armenian դեւ (dew). Doublet of daeva.
