Traditional pub with a modern twist
You'll find the The Wicklow Heather when you're leaving Dublin on the road toward Glendalough. I like pubs outside the cities because they usually have a rustic, local feel with fireplaces and quaint decor. The Wicklow Heather is a traditional pub that has been in business for over 40 years. You can go there for a drink around, but as it's kind of in the middle of nowhere, people usually go for a weekend lunch or dinner. The cuisine is a mix of traditional Irish and international dishes with a modern twist. The management believes in fair trade and tries to help local organic farmers whenever possible.
In general, they have Saturday and Sunday specials in addition to the standard menu. The pub is open daily until 10 pm, but the kitchen closes a bit before. It's a classic place if you want to escape to the countryside near Dublin.
