By my last visit in 2017, there were noticeably fewer full service pubs around, so Kirby's got me for at least 3 or 4 visits. At my first lunch stop in 2017, the waitress noticed my tshirt, and we had a talk about the Dropkick Murphys. The carvery lunches were around 12 Euro but if you finish your plate you won't have to bother with dinner. Only disappointment was that they never had boiling bacon. It was a staple at every pub on our early trips, but now is mainly a staple at the Tesco grocer down the street. The food is wonderful. There was pleasant music later at night. Hope to be back some day.

My wife had the toastie, she has decided she isn't a fan of toasted bread on her sandwich so she was pretty Luke warm on hers. I had the open face prawn and smoked salmon sandwich on brown bread with the Marie Rose sauce. Prior to this trip I would have not ever likely ordered this for lunch. But I am a huge fan of the Brown Bread and the Smoked Salmon has been fantastic. Again, I was not disappointed, my meal was great. The prawns and the salmon were both great and the bread was a thick cut slice which added to the meal. I'm a fan!

Fancy restaurant !…read more We really loved the atmosphere there, the decoration were different that the other pub in Ireland. I would say it is more like a "gastro pub". At the point that from the outside, we were asking ourself if we were not dressing too casually... But you just need to enter and you'll see normal people, enjoying a drink or food. The food is nice and elaborated, I remember that they had a nice choice of wine and beer as well. They cooked my meet perfectly, as I would eat it in France. Regarding desserts, they were not the best but my fiancée enjoyed them so bad ! So I guess some are good and some are not that tasty... Pretty expensive for a whole diner, but you pay the unique architecture and the "fanciness" of the place...

They do prefer cash, so plan ahead and hit the ATM before you go. Re: the B&B, our bathroom smelled like cauliflower and the smell permeated the whole room. It was really unfortunate because the room was cozy and we were exhausted, so it would have been hard to dampen our experience. That said, the full Irish breakfast was delicious and very quickly prepared by their in-house cook/housekeeper, who is super nice. They also helped us find parking when we arrived and were generally welcoming. Recommended for anyone passing through Tralee and looking for a cozy spot to sleep after a night at the pub.
