Wicklow Heather Restaurant | Glendalough

"Tucked away in a quaint bar in County Wicklow lies a room filled with special editions of many of the most famous works by Irish authors. Some say that Ireland’s greatest contribution to arts and culture is its literature, and this exceptional collection certainly showcases the rich body of work created by Irish writers. First editions of Bram Stoker’s Dracula and James Joyce’s Ulysses (still in its original wrapping) are some of the crown jewels in a broad collection celebrating Irish authors, as well as poets and playwrights such as W. B. Yeats and Samuel Beckett. There’s even an original program from the world premiere of Oscar’s Wilde’s play The Importance of Being Earnest. The room can be booked for parties of up to 80, but it is usually set up as a typical restaurant dining room. A small bar featuring a large variety of Irish whiskeys is nestled in one of its corners." - ATLAS_OBSCURA

"For more than 40 years, this family-run pub has been nourishing appetites and warming hearts in lovely county Wicklow. Grab a table in the main dining room, whose walls are adorned with eclectic artwork and book-lined shelves, and join breakfasting locals for a few hearty dishes that'll give you a jump on your late-morning National Park explorations: Think full Irish breakfasts, helpings of eggs and bacon, freshly baked scones, and if you're feeling seriously ambitious, a slice of apple pie. The drink game is strong here, too—check out the Irish Writers Room, typically used for private events, for a peek at the Irish Whiskey Bar. The restaurant's neatly curated collection includes fine (and even a few rare) whiskeys, from labels both legendary (Bushmills, and Midleton Distillery in Cork, to name a few), and independent." - Sandra Ramani
