Enniskerry

By bus

Enniskerry is close enough to Dublin to be served by the city buses – and far enough away for the bus route to go through magnificent rugged scenery in the narrow defile of The Scalp.
You can take either the 185 Bus from Bray or the 44/44c from Dublin city centre.

• Johnnie Fox's Pub

  address: Glencullen Rd, Glencullen, Dublin Mountains
  Dating from the 18th century, the highest pub in Ireland is also one of the best for seafood. Great atmosphere with traditional live Irish bands and friendly staff. Food is excellent, so is the craic. You can get a good view of Dublin by night on your drive up to the restaurant. Unfortunately, this place is a notorious tourist trap - however it has received something or a revival in recent years with dozens of Irish people travelling to the pub for casual drinks / something to do.
