We popped in after dinner and bellied up to the bar only to be passed over multiple times by the bartenders. They clearly saw us, even made eye contact at times, but just kept moving, taking orders of folks who walked up to the bar well after we had sat down. It was the strangest experience of bar service we had experienced in Killarney. Once the bartender actually acknowledged us, she was friendly. We got our drinks and moved to the front room where they had live music. We finished our drinks, enjoyed the music and called it a night after one pint. The space has all the character of an old Irish pub and we had high hopes for Courtney's, but sadly it was the one negative experience on our trip. Overall, disappointed. Enjoyed the pint and the space is cool, but we wouldn't recommend as a "must do" on a trip to Killarney.

So many whiskeys here! It will take a long time to try them all. We tried 5 half pours, which is…read more1/3 of 1 percent of the 1600 available. So it would take nearly a year going every day to try everything. That's probably not a healthy way to spend a year. You can always just walk in and order drinks (food available too) but curated tastings normally require advance bookings. But it wasn't busy so the bartender was able to spend some time with us even though the full tasting experience wasn't available at the time.

They had a nice spread of gins to choose from, from which the bartender offered various versions of gin cocktails and recommended his favorite gins for each cocktail. It definitely had a nice, relaxing, lounge-y feel to it. Would certainly consider coming back the next time I'm back in town... and I certainly do hope that there is another Ireland trip in my future.

If the fully lit exterior doesn't draw you in, then the open doors, live music and pure energy is sure to! A combination of all three got us, and it was a glorious time! The bar is classic in all ways from layout, decor, live music, drink options, service, etc...a true local Irish pub that is welcoming, loud and fun. We were in Killarney for a few days and each evening walked by and this place stays packed, which initial was something we were not excited about, but we figured "why not!". The evening we wandered in, it was again packed, but everyone was moving and shaking to allow folks an opportunity grab a drink at the bar. There was also live acoustic music, which was great to stay and enjoy. We grabbed a pint, found a corner and just enjoyed the vibes...and of course the Guinness. We visited pubs all around Ireland on our trip and The Grand was one of the more memorable spots. Do not be deterred by the crowds, its packed for good reason!

O'Donoghues is situated at the base of a hotel on the main street of Killarney's city center, and…read morewas a spot we visited for cocktails and dinner one evening. The space is good sized and features several dining areas and a decent sized bar. Decor and overall vibe is your classic Irish pub with lots of dark woods, soft lighting and grandiose fixtures and dividers. We initially bellied up the bar to grab a pint and cocktail while we waited for our table to be ready. After about 20 minutes, the staff came and whisked us away to a small table just off the main entrance. The table was not that comfortable, but they are doing everything they can with every inch of space they have, and we were just happy to be there! While bellied up to the bar, we enjoyed a pint of Guinness and the Apple & Honey cocktail. The Guinness was perfection, and the cocktail was tasty. The food menu has all the classics from toasties to stew and even fish and chips. We started our meal with the trio of croquettes. They were okay and plating was a bit odd as the salad and veggies that accompanied the croquettes were more visible and focus than the actual croquettes. While the trio was all different, the taste profiles were very similar for each one. For our mains, we both went with sandwiches. I got the Prime Sirloin Steak and my partner got the Ham, Cheese and Tayto. Steak was well cooked, bread was a great vessel, however more sauce would have been welcomed. The toastie was classic, no frills and hit the spot. Service was okay. Not very efficient or helpful, but also not awful or unfriendly. Was odd enough to notice, but not bad enough to ruin the visit. Overall, a fair rating is 3.5 for O'Donoghues. Given no half stars, they get the fourth. It is a good location and is just okay. We wouldn't go out of our way to visit again, but also wouldn't go out of our way to avoid.

You had me at "speakeasy".

It was late enough in the morning on vacation to justify a drink so we stopped in here for a cocktail and to use the internet. When you walk in there is a bar in front of you that wraps around to a back half of the room that can't really be seen from outside so we went around to really feel like we were hidden from society. There were a couple other older people there that looked like locals that were friendly as was the bartender. Had my gin and tonic and hit the road for the next adventure.

This place is classic…read more Me and my friends had a really great time coming here. This is just your typical old fashioned bar that's been around for years and years. It was pretty busy each time we went but never had to hard of time getting a drink. Loved the vibes here. Everyone was pretty friendly. I just loved how everyone would want to learn about me but it was never in annoying way. In America, I might of felt a certain way but here it always seemed genuine. Some dudes at the bar chatted me and up and I had to stop the conversation to ask them about a drink they had. I had so many drinks that I don't quite remember the name but I think it was Green Machine? Whiskey, milk and creme de menthe...? Something like that. In any case, it was delicious. Perfect for a final drink for the night. I could totally see my girlfriend's dad being here a bunch if he traveled with us here. Almost every single time we came they had Golf on the TV. Also if it's your first time it may seem at first the place might be a little small but there is actually a whole back room that you can enter from the sides.
