Wicklow Whiskey Bars

Leitrim Bar, Seafront, Wicklow town have a good selection of Irish Whiskeys and a few goodone of Scotch

prices are really good too

they haven't got any from Cooley (but i informed John Cashman to do something about that) but have the full selection of Jameson and Bushmills range

friendly staff, good food, a good bar to go to, if you are in Wicklow town
Happiness is having a rare steak,a bottle of whiskey, and a dog to eat the rare steak!!!

It's a good pub alright. That said, and I know this should probably a different discussion point, but I'd describe it more as a pub with a few decent whiskeys than a whiskey bar per say. The have the IDL premium whiskeys plinth and a couple of others but not much of real interest.

I'm not sure this is a valid distinction, just a thought.

You might have a point Iain but because of lack of any other Wicklow pubs being put forward I suppose it has it's merits ... may not enough to get through to the Rose of Tralee selection process but worth a mention ;)

I've been trying to think of the other pubs I've been in county wicklow (which is quite a few) and what whiskeys they have. I think the Porterhouse in Bray has a decent selection, but I haven't been there in quite a while.

Frank Duffs in Bray would have a similar selection to the Leitrim above - again not maybe a whiskey bar but a bar with a decent selection. They'd have the IDL plinth, a couple of Bushmills, one or two Cooleys I think and the Diageo plinth. Maybe there's a Glenmorangie and a Glenlivet there too, but I'm not sure.
