    Our family of 10 came to Ireland for 10 days and we happened upon Murphy's Ice Cream during a walk downtown. They were giving samples out and the names of the ice cream is what drew me in. Irish whiskey, honeycomb, dingle salt, and of course the usual flavors. Delicious ice cream!!

    Fabulous ice cream made with just pure Irish cream, eggs and love. The honeycomb caramel and the Dingle salt was so delicious. I wished they were open by me in Austin, Texas. I was told they're opening in Florida and if you're the owner and reading this, please come to Austin, Texas. I promise you won't regret it!!!

    Chocolate whiskey, honeycomb caramel and sea salt! Incredible!!

    This is easily the best ice cream I've ever had. I saw it along Instagram one day and instantly knew I had to try it when we traveled to Ireland. 6 days in Ireland and I had it each night. The staff was incredible and let you try whatever you wanted. Each ice cream was better than the next. Such a cute, cozy store front. I've dreamt about this multiple times since we have been back home.

    The service here was amazing and super friendly. When you walk in, you are immediately greeted by one of the staff and are given samples of the ice cream flavors. The shop itself is small but cute. It got pretty busy after 9pm. The ice cream itself was good. I got the salted caramel and cookie dough. My friend got the chocolate whiskey. I'd definitely come back here solely for the service! Our staff member even took our picture by the cute photo backdrop.

    We stopped in after dinner and I'm so happy we did! First off the ice-cream is so yummy not insanely sweet but a good creamy flavor that you can't get anywhere else. Second, the staff was phenomenal. Sam helped us and gave us some pointers on our plans for the week which was so helpful! Definitely recommend a visit! Also super accessible from the street.

    Local ice cream joint in Killarney checks all the right boxes. Great ice cream, friendly service, and nice prices. The flavors are all local and Irish based but I stuck with a chocolate and it was great. It kind of reminded me of Baskin Robbins back in the US with trying all you want before you buy. That alone should qualify for a good review.

    Strawberry and brown bread flavors

    On each trip our goal is to find the best local ice cream. There were a few to choose from in Killarney and we decided to try Murphy's. They had about a dozen or so unique flavors (including a few with alcohol) to offer. A "hostess" offered to let us sample some to make the right choice. I got a cup with Irish strawberry and Irish brown bread. The flavors were on the mild side but blended well. Murphy's was a good choice tonight! Definitely recommend!

    Dingle Sea Salt and Chocolate
    Nooshi B.

    This place is too good. You must make a stop here when in Killarney and try the Dingle Sea Salt Ice Cream. It's perfect. The chocolate was also fantastic and not too sweet. The super friendly ladies working there make the experience even better!

    Stopped in for something sweet after dinner, Lydia & Sam were extremely helpful & friendly. They offered samples and gave recommendations on what flavors would mix well too. My friend has an allergy to cinnamon and when she asked if it was in the cone, the pulled out the box to check and allow her to check if it was in the cone.

    Great ice cream and friendly employees! They had a free sample waiting at the door when you enter and they encouraged samples when you came in. The employees were very talkative and welcoming. You can choose multiple flavors, even in a small! I finally chose the Kieran's Cookies and the Chocolate Whiskey, and it did not disappoint. The only downside is it is a bit on the pricey side.

    Cookies n cream and sea salt
    Lynette B.

    Murphy's totally lives up to the hype. Tried the most popular flavor Dingle sea salt and then cookies n cream. They get the salt specifically from Dingle and put just a tiny touch of it in their vanilla ice cream and it has quite frankly become my new obsession. Really hope they have a Murphy's at my next stop. Well worth the visit I if you're in Killarney. Super friendly staff.

    Kelly G.

    More unique flavors than I've seen in all of Ireland! Between the three of us, we got Dingle Sea Salt, Silky Smoothe Chocolate, and Irish Coffee, made with real Jameson Whiskey. We also tried one that was made with Fennel which was very fresh but also very green. I loved their adventurousness, and I enjoyed myself very much. They didn't have a standard Vanilla option, which is fone with me as an adventurous person but some of mt family members were dissappointed with that or the lack of standard variety.

    My daughter had a few scoops of the fresh strawberry ice cream and really enjoyed it. Clean fast service.

A-OK is exactly…read morehow I would describe this place - friendly staff, rough around the edges decor, and good food. I had a cosmo which I feel was out the bottle, way too sweet for being freshly made, not that great but having had a 5 hour drive it went down nicely. Then onto the starters, Alex had the mussels and begin I the baked Brie. The Brie was lovely and perfectly complemented by the cranberry sauce - the cheese literally burst out of its crunchy shell once cut into which I loved. I also tried the mussels, the sauce was rich and tomato-y but the dish wasn't warm enough which made me a tad nervous. Huge portions though! Next to the mains, this is where if I could, I would give it a 3.5. The lam shank was topped with onions and a thin gravy and then cooked in pasty = lamb shank meets beef Wellington. It was great, the lamb fell off the bone and it was really well cooked and juicy meat. Served on a bed of creamy mash and fresh veg. The veg was slightly under cooked sadly but the rest of the dish, fantastic! I tried some of Alex's ham hock and that too was great. Really flavoursome and soft meat - if, however, your not a big fan of Dijon mustard I wouldn't recommend as it's literally covered in it! All of the above including a pint came to around £60 which for the size of the portions and the overall quality we were happy with!

    This review is for the restaurant not the pub. We came for lunch and found all the usual Irish pub…read moreofferings. The pie of the day, not on the menu, was steak and kidney, which I had to try "for research purposes". The pastry crust extended to the sides and bottom so it fully enclosed the filling and was served "freestanding". Crust and gravy were excellent. In the filling, both the steak and the kidneys were plentiful. My research completed, I probably wouldn't order it again; just give me the steak - no more kidneys please! Nevertheless I did enjoy and finished it. This was served with decent fries and a truly excellent green salad: a variety of leafy greens, radishes, cucumbers, pickled onions, and pre-dressed with a vinaigrette. The wife had the Beef & Guinness Casserole, served with brown bread. Along with steak there were also plentiful veggies (root vegetables and celery) and mashed potatoes in the center. She liked it. I tried it and agreed. I would get that next time. I had a Jameson Old Fashioned to drink and it was the best Old Fashioned I've had in some time. The unusually large twisted orange peel probably contributed and it may have had more than the customary amount of bitters. The wife's tea was amusingly served with a knitted "cozy" keeping the teapot hot. For dessert we shared a Sticky Toffee Pudding, served with vanilla ice cream, attractively presented with a dusting of sugar, whipped cream, and a ground cherry complete with its leaves. I'd rate it second among the three I've tried so far. Would certainly order it again. As for the pub I can't say. It has a reputation for good traditional Irish music every night but unfortunately not until 9:30, way too late for us. Sadly we're just not pub people.

The frutta di mare dish was alittle disappointing it lacked flavor and the prawns and mussels were small, considering it was the highest cost item on the menu they can use larger ingredients. We had a group of 12 and the place was not that busy during dinner, we asked the waitress if the chef can come out and see us so we could complement some of his dishes and she comes back saying we can stop by the kitchen on our way out! Really! We probably spent the most money that evening. Sounds like the owner chef needs some training in restaurant hospitality and the waitress lost an opportunity for a 20% tip.

Cronins sits on a Main Street through Killarney and feels like old world Ireland from the road to the table. It has a storied past in Killarney, being open over 60 years at this point. The space is as you would expect, cozy, local and welcoming. The menu is rooted in local ingredients including seafood, beef and veggies. We popped in for an early dinner and had an appetizer of the Smoked Irish Salmon, which was fresher than expected. Such a simple dish, but it was executed perfectly. For our mains, we had a burger and the Shepard's Pie. Burger was good. It was juicy, well cooked and the onion relish thing they had going on was *chefs kiss*. The Shepard's Pie was spot on. Both were made with local beef, which was cool and extra tasty! Beyond the food, Cronins also has their own cider, which was phenomenal and oddly enough, the only cider I had the whole time I was in Ireland! That speaks more to the hold Guinness had on me and less to the variety of cider. After the cider, we went with a few house cocktails including the Clover Club and Dingle Donkey. Both were well prepared, vibrant and tasty! Service was uniquely local, friendly and fun! From the bartender to our server, they were both excellent! Overall, Cronins is a stellar spot in a great spot in Killarney! When we get back over the pond and to Killarney, Cronins is on the list to swing by again!

Very flavorful and it was a lot of food for the price. The entrees took a bit of time to come out but we were not in a rush so it was okay. They had several TVs throughout the restaurant set to different channels. The one near our table was playing what seemed to be some type of soap opera and it was cracking us up. Not what you would expect of this type of restaurant especially with how busy it was when we were here but it kept us entertained nonetheless! We were lucky that they allowed us to split the check up at the bar! It made our dining experience much easier and many restaurants don't like to split the check so this was much appreciated. There is a note on the menu that if they are super busy, they ask that you don't split the check.
