The Beach House (Dann's Bar)
Victoria Road, The Harbour, Greystones, Co. Wicklow · A63 H670
About the pub
Down at Greystones harbour, The Beach House has poured pints since 1850, and its Dann's Bar is the real draw for anyone after old Ireland: a "spit-and-sawdust" room with a pot-belly stove, a Liscannor slate floor and a private snug worn smooth by generations. Friday nights bring live music, and a traditional session still gathers through the week. The wider pub does a tidy seafood bistro menu seven days a week. (It's a separate, genuinely traditional pub from The Burnaby up in the town.)
