There is a great bar down at the Harbour (called the Harbour Bar coincidentally) and there is live music on there every night of the week. It closes at about one o'clock and there's a bus for a euro which will bring you up to The MArtello which has a DJ in the bar and a nightclub attached.

If you're looking for a good place to eat, I would recommend Carpe Diem for Italian or for Indian, Daata Tandoori. Both places are on the seafront.

You could take a walk out the cliff walk to Greystones and get the DART back in after having a coffee there. Takes about an hour (if you're walking fast)

Johnny Foxes is a fair old spin from Bray - you wouldnt want to be doing both on the same night imo

Thanks. Thats what I'm after. Local info is always the best. Is there any activities within 30 minutes drive that we could do during the day

I thought it was about 30 minutes drive. I was planning on going for an early dinner there and letting her get plastered on wine and id drive back to bray at about 8 and then head out and get smashed .

It is less than 30 minutes drive from Bray. So your cunning plan could still work.

That said, more than enough fun and great places to eat along the sea front in Bray.

As someone else suggested, Cliff walk to and/or From Greystones followed by an afternoon recovery drink could be an ideal starter for the evening.

Coffee in Cafe di Fiora (sp?), across from Sealife, as part of a stroll along the seafront.

Kilruddery House, on the Southern Cross way in to Bray ....

Loads of options.

Think Kiluddery is closed for the Winter until April

Christmas market in Kilruddery.
