The owners of an iconic pub in Wicklow have announced that “with heavy hearts” they have made the decision to close the premises.

McDaniel’s has been Brittas Bay’s landmark destination since the 1970s. Fernando and Alannah Figueira took ownership of the property in May of 2024, which resulted in them reopening the bar, café, and restaurant.
