Title: Best North Wicklow Off License
Post by: nathancullen on August 19, 2020, 02:02:46 PM
Hey All,

I'm new to the area. Having moved up from West Cork. I'm currently based in Greystones, but will this week be moving to our new gaff in Newcastle. I've been looking for a good local off license. O'briens in Greystones has been fulfilling most of my needs, but it would be great to get any hints on what off licenses you like to go to yourselves!!.

Thanks in advance.

Nathan

O'Briens have improved, but not in all stores.

Slightly further up, the Blackrock Cellar is absolutely top notch & a danger to your wallet.

CraftCentral.ie has kept some of the more southerly Garden County Brewers sane over the last few months.

Much obliged. I must check out the Blackrock Cellar and CraftCentral.ie.

As the most southerly of the Garden County Brewers, I can vouch for that. Great choice and value on CraftCentral, especially on the 3-for-€10 and 3-for-€12 range. You can't get Wicklow Wolf on there though, so I usually end up grabbing some Elevation in the offie when I get a chance.

Blackrock Cellar is great. There's also Molloys in Ballyogan which is ever so slightly closer to Greystones and just off the motorway - very good selection there too.
