The bar once awarded the title of the ‘Best Bar in the World’ by the travel guide Lonely Planet has been given the green light by Wicklow County Council for a full revamp of the premises.

Bray’s Harbour Bar, which first opened in 1871, has in the past served a host of famous faces from Brendan Behan, The Dubliners, Sinead O’Connor and Shane MacGowan to Mary Coughlan and Christy Moore.
