Location is so easy to get to by foot. The live music coming through the windows draws you in. The staff are top notch. Caroline has even gone through great lengths to mail us our bag of gifts we accidentally left behind under our table. The whole atmosphere was a dream! Delicious Irish coffees and Guinness! So fun making friends with the locals! Definitely one of our favorite stops during our honeymoon. This place will always hold a special place in our hearts ~Jill & Steve read more

Stopped here for a drink after walking around town and had an awesome experience!! All the bartenders were super friendly. The ambiance was nice and relaxing, perfect for what we needed after a long day. The food looked really good, but I didn't get to try anything. Would definitely recommend for a nice and relaxing area to get a drink. read more

We went for live music two nights in a row. Such a fun place! Small area to listen/dance but everyone is nice and ends of talking to each other bc you're so close. Yummy Guinness! read more

We were supposed to meet up with a friend here while we were in Killarney, but after we'd arrived, he texted that he couldn't make it. We decided to have a quick drink anyway. Let me tell you, this place is huge, and its quite easy to get lost!! We wandered to the back bar, which is where the live music was going to be taking place in an hour or so, and ordered a whiskey for my husband (I can't remember which kind he ordered, we tried SO many amazing whiskeys!) and an espresso martini for me. This was the most delicious espresso martini I had up to that point! Staff was grand. If we weren't old people and tired from a long day, we'd have stuck around for the live music. Next time!! We definitely plan to return. read more

In my travels along south Ireland, we stopped in Killarney for lunch. They offered a nice town area and public parking to shop. We saw a coffee shop but it had ajoining restaurant and pub and noticed you could enter each from the front but they adjoined in the middle with a great interior design concept from a old mercantile in its past life. They had tables that mimicked train cars and rooms around hidden corners with tables that each was unique. As you locate the patio, it is also designed colorfully for events and has a party atmosphere vibe. We had a house chicken sandwich with the best side of lettuce and cucumbers in a delightful vinaigrette that I will remember for a while. Since it was a holiday season and a bit cold happily, they offered mulled wine, which hit the spot perfectly since its a warm, fragrant drink. I was very happy to find this place and so will you so stop in if you're in the area. read more

Food was not the best we had in Ireland, but ambience and staff were excellent! We had the fish and chips, and the fish was cooked well, but did not have much of a taste. read more

Outstanding classic and very old pub. I had the chicken tacos with a Powers Irish Whiskey. Service was fast and friendly. Spend some time wandering the place looking at the classic pics and artifacts. read more

The food was excellent and the service beyond excellent. We wanted to relax and chat at our meal and the staff didn't rush us, made us feel welcome to stay and chat as long as we liked. My sister ordered the Cesar salad without chicken and they pointed out that the dressing contained anchovies (was not vegetarian) and offered a cheese substitute for the chicken. read more

Fun place to pop in for a craft cocktail or beer. Tried to come in in the evening (way packed) so made another try mid-afternoon. Really glad I did as I was able to enjoy the cozy ambiance, sit outside, and people watch. Definitely pop in for at least one if you're in the area. read more

I would have loved to experience this bar and was looking forward to it, but the female bartender inside was incredibly disrespectful and told us she "could not be expected to know the different US state IDs" and that it was "extremely likely US state ID's could be fake." She told us we needed to come back with passports or a national ID. We are closer to 30 than 18...this was a humiliating experience overall and i would not recommend this bar to any younger American tourists simply based on our experience with this bartender. We left immediately. read more

This place was highly recommended by the locals, we decided to join the wait list line that in no time got us seated in a very quaint tiny booth. I asked our host what was his favorite dish and he highly recommended the special, a spicy calzone. He told us that they have a pizza oven that earns his keep. I said, why not! Orders it and my goodness, it was absolutely incredible!! The pints kept coming and the night was perfect'. They also pride themselves in having live music but we didn't get to enjoy it as we left before he started playing. Great place! They also have coffee in the morning, we had been told it would be open at 8am and showed up to be told it was actually 8:30, so we walked around the quaint little downtown area. We went by again at 8:31 and they sent us off with give us another 5-10 minutes because we are still cleaning...well, we found two others close by who were actually eager for business. This is why they don't get the 5 stars.... read more

Loved this place! Went on a Friday night. After 8/8:30 pizza is the only food item available on the menu but it was fantastic. The pizza is not frozen/made fresh including the dough. This place is HUGE. It doesn't look like it when you enter but keep walking to the back. Follow the hallways and there are booths and tables in different rooms, outside areas as well as inside. It's very cool. Drinks were great too! read more

This is the spot to hit in Killarney. The left side is a bakery/coffee house with these cute private booths decorated with old time pictures and goods. The inside lace had an amazing vibe. You could feel the history. The lattes were delicious and the scones were the best we've had. The service was friendly and quick. The building is huge. Make sure to take a tour around the whole thing. It's really a gem. There are so many little nooks and private rooms to entertain in. The inside bar was inviting. The outdoor space is enormous. Definitely stop here, even if it's just to take a look. read more

Coolest bar space, there are so many nooks and crannies to have drinks or food. The menu is super creative as well!

It was an early evening so there wasn't much going on. Low crowds and some live music in the back. I loved the table booth in the front window. Very nostalgic place. Feels like you're at your grandmas in the 60's. read more

I had the best Mac and cheese of my life at JM Reidy's! The place is huge but somehow feels cozy and intimate with lots of little nooks and private booths. Our server was super quick and friendly and taught me how to pronounce Smithwick's properly. My husband had a burger with peanut butter on it which sounded odd but tasted delicious. A great place to grab a bite of just drinks! read more

Awesome meal, asked our waiter (Sean) his recommendation and I had the chicken sandwich which was excellent, a spice kick with incredible pickles. My wife had the cod fish taco's which were good too. Sean was spot on with his recommendations. Excellent service! read more

Delicious lunch/brunch we ordered nachos and beans on toast. Super yummy did not disappoint. The atmosphere is truly charming. I am from California and have a lot of experience with Nachos and guacamole. This was made by someone who has great knowledge of southwest flavors. The guac was perfect read more

One of the best burgers I've ever had. Not sure of the name but it had Tomato chili reddish, red onion, gherkins, smoked cheddar cheese, garlic aioli, crispy onions, came with skinny fries and salad . Salad was refreshing and I wish I knew what dressing they used. I believe it was either a beef or venison/bison burger. Very tender burger and the condiments complemented it very nicely. Can't stop talking about this burger to my family. read more

Great live music bar. I always go here when in Killarney. It's like a museum inside too! Definitely worth a visit. The pints of Guinness are good here! read more

The food hours seem a bit limited (12-6pm only), but the menu was solid! This pub is far, far larger on the inside than it looks from the street. The rooms and bar areas just kept going and going. On a nice day, the courtyard area would be just wonderful, but unfortunately it was raining during our visit. The Chicken and Chorizo Salad that my wife had was definitely a meal of a salad, but wasn't too heavy. She might have preferred a bit less chorizo, but it wouldn't have been too much for me. My Chicken Sandwich on Sourdough was fantastic; rich and buttery, but not over the top. Definitely a great choice for lunch or an early dinner in downtown Killarney. read more

I'm not sure why this place hasn't been reviewed yet. This place is a coffee shop by day and turns into a full-fledged bar by night. Knowing that this is a coffee shop, make sure to try their expresso martinis. They are good, but you can make it even better. Since it is a little sweet for my tastes, sub out the vodka for an irish whiskey and make it a double shot. Same with the whiskey sour, get a double shot of whiskey because they make it a bit too sweet (even for my wife). Anyway, I would almost classify this bar as a speakeasy type because it doesn't mention that it's a bar anywhere in front. They only thing giving this place away is the amount of people coming in and out of the place. It may not seem like it, but you can fit a lot of people here. When we arrived around 9:30p.m., I would estimate there were already at least a hundred people inside. They have several different rooms inside with a different vibe, two of which has live music going on simultaneously. I feel like I'm giving away a local secret by reviewing this place but this was one of the best finds we made in Ireland in terms of nightlife. read more

We stopped in for lunch here as it was highly recommended by our hotel. They were very busy but we were lucky enough to get a table in a small three table room. The room was decorated with all kinds of interesting pictures to take in while waiting on your food. I ordered a pint of Stag Stout and Fish n Chips. The piece of fish was huge. It came with chips of course but also salad and mushy peas. I don't know what dressing was on that salad but it was very good. I wish I could make or find mushy peas this good in the states. I loved them. Everything was delicious. The service was great and the staff was very friendly. It was an excellent recommendation! read more

Great breakfast + great pizza + great bar for weekend drinks. Our fav spot to go out in Killarney

I nice pub with live music in Killarney. The kitchen stops at 6pm, when it becomes a bar with live music. A long pub with numerous bars and books and crannies. Nice selection of whiskies beers on tap. Very friendly staff. Not sure why Google maps and Yelp show 4 Main Street 6.2 miles away from 3 Main Street. It's right next door! Use the map to #3. read more

My friends and I were visiting from Colorado and took a taxi from our Airbnb to here. We asked out driver for a recommendation and he dropped us off here! What a cool place! Not to mention, it was huge! There were so many different rooms with a different atmosphere and decor. I love it. I think we spent And 1.5 hours here before, left to go eat food and then came back for another 3 hours. This is a great place to go to get a real taste of Ireland and see a lot of people. The beer selection was amazing and there was room everywhere for seating and enjoying yourself. Plus the decor was very cool! Lots of signage everywhere. The different rooms made it feel like you were walking around a mini town square! read more

This place is special. Our group went here after dinner one night and had a fabulous time. In the front half of the bar they had an amazing guitar player and in the back half (outside) there was a full band playing on the stage. It's as if you experience two types of bars in the same place. The staff are friendly and the drink service is quick. I would go here over and over again. read more

The coolest pub I've ever been in, at least so far :) This pub is a combination of many old businesses that they made into one pub. It includes an old bakery, an old shop, an old pub, and old stables. There are so many little nooks and crannies and hidden private places in this pub, it's extremely cozy! read more
