Mickey Finns Pub

Top choice in Vale of Avoca


Many dishes at this cosy, low-ceilinged pub incorporate beers brewed at the adjacent Wicklow Brewery and come with pairing suggestions, such as Wicklow Black Stout beef pie paired with a Black 16, or the artisan 8oz burger with maple-smoked bacon and Helles Lager chutney accompanied by a Hopknut Pale Ale. There's trad music on Wednesdays year-round.

Free Hooley Nights on Saturdays from July to August feature Irish dancing, music and storytelling.

The kids' menu has half-portions of adult dishes.
