What the guides say

“The view alone is worth the trip into the mountains, but the live music, pints and atmosphere here usually make you stay longer than planned.”

Lonely Planet (Get Lost) ↗

“If you’ve been exploring the mountains or hiking the Wicklow Way, there’s no better spot for a post-walk pint; the cinematic views are at their best as the sun goes down and the city lights begin to flicker on.”

Condé Nast Traveller ↗

Also named by r/Dublin.
