I think I showed a little too much interest but hey, all in the name of research... Suddenly, he told me to swing right. I pushed open the door of a place I hadn't even known existed to enter a busy pub with the ubiquitous "Rubber & Friends" belting out the tunes. People chatted animatedly, sang along and danced. Extremely lively for a Sunday night! I felt like I'd been given the password to a secret underworld. A guy who'd been strutting around like a peacock in a Man United jersey "entertained" the crowd from the table-tops. Just as the band were reaching the crescendo of their set, someone knocked over an entire table of drinks and nearly flooded the place. The barmaid muttered, "I'll kill them" before whipping out the mop, then pouring them another... Sunday is definitely the new Saturday!

Great cozy Irish pub! Wonderful service and amazing food!…read more My friend and I came to the little town of Enniskerry after exploring Powerscourt and I was really in the mood for lamb so we chose to eat here. And let me tell you, the lamb was phenomenal. Best dish I had on my Ireland vacation. Super tender meat that was perfectly complimented by the root vegetables and mashed potatoes. I ate that dish CLEAN. My friend ordered the fish and chips, and asked if there was any way she could get mashed potatoes instead of fries because she isn't into too much fried food. The restaurant was very accommodating. My friend is also an Ironman and we found out that our bartender was also one as well! They have live music on the weekends I believe. Great atmosphere because the locals will all gather here and sing or dance along.

It boasts being recognized in the top 100 restaurants by the New York Sunday Times and is in the Michelin guide. Quite possibly one of the most cozy, welcoming places one could find off the beaten path in Ireland. Gorgeous, old-world interior with wood stoves and fireplaces in every room, deep padded armchairs you can lose yourself in. Sink into one of these, accompanied by an excellent cup of tea, crusty buttery croissant with fresh made grass-fed cow cream and admire tons of fun little Tchotchkes and handmade crafts, many of which are for sale. Attentive and smiley staff to boot. A pleasant repaste for a lazy weekend morning!

I came in thirsting wildly for a Guinness, but when I saw him meticulously preparing a Whiskey Sour with his own special touches, I pivoted to that. Just like my wife's "White Linen", we could not have been happier with our cocktails! Also, it just so happened that Wednesdays are "Pizza Night" so we went to the pizzeria/mini grocer connected to The Coach House and ordered our fresh, delicious, pizzas that were delivered to us back at the bar. The Coach House has several different eating rooms, each with its own look and feel. We were very comfortable just eating at the bar and picking Roan's brain for his secret cocktail recipes!!

It arrived looking very 'gray' , rubbery, dense, and completely tasteless - it was obviously a pre-cooked something that had been thrown in the microwave.

The Wicklow Heather Restaurant -- Glendalough Road, Laragh, Co. Wicklow A98 D983…read moreVisited: June 2026 Five stars. The Wicklow Heather is the best restaurant in the Wicklow Mountains, and a meal here is as much a part of the Glendalough experience as the ancient monastic site itself. Why The Wicklow Heather is the essential County Wicklow dining destination: Over 50 years in operation and still at the top of its game. This family-run restaurant in the village of Laragh -- minutes from Glendalough -- has earned its place as the go-to dining destination for visitors to the Wicklow Mountains National Park, and one visit explains exactly why. TripAdvisor's #1-ranked restaurant in Laragh with over 2,590 reviews, it has been nominated for Best Restaurant in Wicklow -- accolades it genuinely deserves. The food is exceptional and authentically Irish. The slow-cooked venison shank is absolutely incredible -- a dish that showcases the kitchen's commitment to quality local ingredients and traditional long-cooked techniques. The lamb's rump delivers outstanding flavor. The Full Heather breakfast -- free-range eggs, dry-cured bacon, sausages, black and white pudding, roast vine tomatoes, and grilled sourdough -- is one of the great Irish breakfasts. The Irish stew is, simply, something else entirely. All dishes are freshly prepared with locally sourced, organic produce where possible. The atmosphere is the perfect counterpart to a day in the Wicklow Mountains: warm, cozy, rustic, charming, and deeply Irish. Condé Nast Traveler calls the vibe "rustic-kitsch" and the service "like you're a local" -- both accurate. The wine list is well-curated with a fine champagne and sparkling selection, and the cocktail menu is worth exploring. For anyone asking where to eat near Glendalough, where to find the best Irish food in County Wicklow, or what to do on a day trip from Dublin to Wicklow -- eat here. The Wicklow Heather is not just a restaurant; it is part of the Irish countryside experience.

The incompetence of the staff behind the bar tonight (July 2024) was jaw dropping. I ordered two drinks off who seemed to present himself as a floor manager. He communicated this to a colleague beside him. The floor managers colleague went off and came back to ask me again the drink i'd ordered. The manager then came back with the two drinks and his colleague came back with two more! The manager looked in disdain (perhaps trying to cover for his colleagues mistake) and accused me of double ordering. I said I had taken it that he had instructed his colleague to get the two drinks. Instead of owning their mistake, the manager pushed me to pay for 4 drinks instead of two. I refused and said I would pay for the two I ordered. The manager then told me to "get the fúck out then". For anyone who used to go here and is considering I recommend avoiding unfortunately, their attitude tonight to customers is atrocious.
