The Blue Light Pub.

Located at the foot of the Dublin Mountains, The Blue Light pub boasts an amazing atmosphere with a range of draught pints and live music every night!

Myself and Chris kept it simple with a pint of Coors and there was no complaints from our side.

If you ever find yourself in the Dublin Mountains area this is a certified establishment (By OnlyPints) to pick up a cold refreshing pint with a view of South Dublin.

Johnnie Fox’s Pub

Thanks to @paddyhiggins for this awesome capture Johnnie Fox's

Nestled high in the Mountains, in the peaceful township of Glencullen and surrounded by the beautiful scenery and serenity of the Wicklow & Dublin’s countryside, Johnnie Fox’s is just a 20 minute drive from Bray.

The majority of ingredients for the restaurant are sourced locally, from high-quality “farm to fork suppliers”. Great food comes from great ingredients, and it is for this reason that customers are drawn to Johnnie Fox’s year after year. Our menu boasts classic Irish dishes along with impressive seafood platters and a few modern favourites for balance.

We also have our very own bakery and all of our breads and desserts are baked daily (you may get a waft of fresh bread baking or our secret recipe whiskey pudding being put together). We have been tweaking the ingredients for our Johnnie Fox’s brown bread for years until we have finally perfected the mix to give flavour, texture and moisture to accompany your chosen dish.

Live music 7 nights a week

The Hooley IRISH DANCING night is not the only experience on offer, guests can expect performances from house musicians 7 nights a week, free of charge.
