Excellent service and food. Ordered the cottage pie. Toasty, toasty hot! Creamy and delicious. Rich depth of flavor. Light, lovely salad on the side. If you visit Blarney Castle, find this place on your way home. Private parking so you don't have to fight street parking. read more

We stopped here for a late lunch. Easily the most enjoyable small pub lunch we had in Ireland. I had the ham and cabbage. I attached a pic of what was left by the time I picked up my phone to take a pic. It was that good. read more

Visited Blairs Inn on the way from Galway to Cork and loved our visit. The restaurant was a bit outside Cork city center and would have been easy to accidentally drive past, but really worth the visit. I ordered a surf & turf dish with Wagyu steak and scallops. OMG it was so good. It was sort of a splurge around 30 euros but the portion was hearty and every element was so delicious. The menu stated it could only be ordered medium rare which was fine with me. The scallops were a good size and sweet, steak was tender and juicy, and mushrooms were super tasty. All of it was doused in a rosemary/butter sauce. My boyfriend ordered corned beef dish with white gravy. He loved every bite and the gravy was super tasty. Our table also received a complimentary side of fries, baked potato, and veggies. We just ordered draft beer but no complaints there. Service was also prompt and friendly. Highly recommend a visit if you're in the area! Though I'm back in the states... I still think about that steak and scallop dish. read more

Don't eat here, you will be disappointed with the rest of your meals while in Ireland. The atmosphere was cozy, and the people were very friendly. The pork tenderloin special was tender and full of flavor. The baked honey ham with mash and cabbage was a hearty portion and the perfect meal for cold, rainy day after visiting Blarney Castle. The warm bread & butter pudding with cinnamon custard was over the top. Our boys enjoyed the kids' Mac & cheese and a burger. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and are sad to be leaving the area in the morning or we would gladly be back for a repeat trip! read more

Blairs Inn has now become my favorite place to eat in Ireland! The food was AMAZING!!!! We liked it so much we went for lunch and dinner on the same day. The restaurant is a quaint, rustic locals spot near Blarney Castle. It is family owned and operated. We met the head chef Duncan who was super friendly and his brother Richard who kept us entertained with congenial conversation. Richard even drove us back to our hotel when the taxi service wouldn't answer their phone....how's that for personal service!!! We ate roasted chicken and corned beef for lunch. The corned beef was so tender you didn't need a knife. The chicken was in an amazing brown gravy I could have drank straight from a cup it was so good. For dinner I had the cajun spiced salmon. The spice was perfectly applied...not too hot to over power the fish...the right amount of zing to truly enjoy the dish. I can't recommend this restautant enough...we'll certainly be back the next time we're touring Ireland...thanks for the amazing dining experience! read more

Blair's inn was a surprise. The unassuming little pub and restaurant is a little out of the way, and off the trodden path, but well worth a detour if you are in Blarney. The cabbage and corned beef cake , served like "boxty" with just the right amount of tangy red sauer cabbage was a great starter. The roast chicken was cooked perfectly spiced and glistening. Desert was an apple and pear cobbler, served hot with vanilla ice cream. Monday night is trad night, and the musicians are first rate as well. read more

We really enjoyed our dinner at Blair's Inn, particularly after a long day on the road. We'd driven the Ring of Kerry and gone to Dingle in the same day, and we're looking for a low-key place with comfort food and good drinks. We found it at Blair's Inn. The fireplace was a perfect touch for the early Autumn evening and we chatted it up with John Blair, the retired owner who was sort of holding court in the bar area. If you're in the Blarney area, you should make a trip to Blair's Inn. read more

So this was our first Pub experience in Ireland and it was fantastic. The rhubarb tart for desert brought back lots of memories from my childhood and made the meal extra special. read more

Fantastic Irish food! I found this little place on Yelp and can understand the great reviews. Service is amazing. We had the corned beef and cottage pie. Both were delicious. Highly recommend a stop here! read more

It's a nice place, relaxing atmosphere. My wife was very happy with the music selection of 80's mixed with some Michael Buble. The food was great too. The vegetable soup was good (I was suffering a cold at the time, and this really hit the spot for me.) She had the Mussels, and was amazed at the huge portion she received. We split the half-roast chicken for the entree. It was good, and with the sides (potatoes and carrots) it was enough for both of us. The service was a little slow, but overall a nice experience. read more

Really great ! We got warm and cozy as we sat close to the fire. I got the Stuffed Chicken which was great and the others got the Cottage Pie. The chicken had a super tasty soft but perfectly crispy skin with amazingly seasoned stuffing with a plate of potatoes, broccoli and carrots. And the few bites of the cottage pie I had were quiet grand. read more

So after arriving in Berrings we needed to get something to eat but it was about 9:30pm and didn't know where to go. I checked yelp and found the Blairs Inn right down the road. Off we went and found the kitchen was actually closed but they didn't turn us away! We had some of the most delicious food ever! Roasted chicken, cottage pie and warm chicken & bacon salad. Along with dinner we had some beer of course! While we sat there eating, a couple at another table asked their waitress if they could call a taxi to take them. Out comes one of the owners and advises them he will take them home! We sat there amazed at such hospitality. The night before we left the area to head over to Dublin we decided to stop back for drinks. We had a wonderful time chatting with Richard the other brother/owner and bar maid, Kirsten. When we come back to Ireland in the future we will definitely stop back to the Blairs Inn. read more

Great little out of the way pub and restaurant. Cool interior and atmosphere. Food was really good and tastes fresh. Irish stew could use more seasoning but ingredients were fresh and from local sources so that made up for it. Chicken and vegetarian pies were excellent. Service was pleasant and attentive. Very nice people. Highly recommend. read more

Great expedient friendly service and amazing ambiance. Seems like a very local eatery. Pub with typical beer choices and the back has diner tables next to an actual fire place. read more

Had a fantastic dinner there two nights ago with my wife and three adult daughters. Two of us had the casserole of beef with stout gravy, which was truly wonderful. Other entrees ordered were Cottage Pie, Vegetable Pie, and the catch of the day. All great tasting and plentiful. The staff and owner were all very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend if you're visiting Blarney and want someplace non-touristy and off the beaten path... read more

Really yummy food- I had the goat cheese tart and husband had the roasted chicken- best food we've had in Ireland

The atmosphere is charming and traditional, with at least 3 open fires. The food was excellent and we really appreciate that they carry Irish microbrews. They even had Black Rock Stout from Dungarvan Brewing Co. on tap when we were there. We also tried an Irish Craft cider that was the freshest tasting cider I've ever had. My O'Flynn's sausage and mash was the perfect comfort food for a blustery evening. The staff were wonderful. I would definitely make reservations for weekends. We are going back soon when Dungarvan's Coffee and Oatmeal Stout is on tap! read more

Best Shepherd's/Carriage pie I've ever had! Truly authentic and can taste the freshness of the ingredients. Nothing in the States will ever live up to this! read more

Amazing, traditional HOME COOKED mom and pop restaurant/pub. So friendly, amazing ambiance and absolutely delicious. THIS is the type of experience you want when you come to Ireland. read more

We drive around Ireland for about 800 kilometers in 8 days. Barley Inn offered the best dinner and beautiful authentic Irish music. Corned beef dish was the most tender and delicious corned beef I ever had. The restaurant had a friendly, cozy environment and great hosts. The musicians played wonderful Irish music, and taught some of the guests Irish folk dance. read more

We had a lovely dinner at blairs inn. We both had the cottage pie, which was excellent! It was the most authentic resturant we ate at on our week in ireland. Fire in the fireplace, locals at the bar, and great Guinness. read more

Great spot to go for a wonderful meal if you are in the Blarney area and want something a little more interesting than Blarney Woolen Mills restaurants. They are very reasonably priced and have a very warm, interesting, and well maintained interior. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. My husband and I are newlyweds and honeymooned in this part of Ireland in November 2016. This is by far one of the best places we ate in Ireland. We ate here on U.S. Thanksgiving and sat next to the fireplace; I had the pheasant and my husband had the roast chicken with some regional beers. It was all extremely delicious! We will definitely return when we return to Ireland in a few years. FYI It was a little tricky to find on our Garmin GPS so we ended up getting the coordinates online and entering it into the GPS that way. read more

Good small country pub about 10 minutes from Blarney. Excellent food served in bar and resturant areas and also a garden area to enjoy you food and drink on the warmer days. Traditional rather than trendy; no-rush rather than fast-food. Generally better to reserve a table for evenings, especially at weekend. Staff helpful and genuinely friendly. check their website for more info read more

This pub is a great place just to stop for a drink or to have a leisurely lunch. It is located only five minutes from Blarney on the R579, set in pleasant countryside with a river at the bottom of the garden. It is a traditional, family run establishment whose owners offer a warm welcome and it is no surprise that the pub and restaurant has won numerous awards. Local produce is apparent on the menu which ranges from bar snacks through to a la carte dining in the evening. Irish music evenings held from May to September. Children welcome until 7pm. The food has always been good when we have visited and nothing is too much trouble. read more

Beautiful place, cozy and well-appointed in a 200 year old building. The staff is helpful and the locals at the bar are an absolute delight. If you happen upon Eamon, buy him a drink-- you won't regret talking to him! read more
