My husband and I had a fabulous dinner at Murphy's Restaurant in Castletownbere. We started with an…read moreexcellent prawns and chorizo appetizer and then had the duck dinner and the leg of lamb dinner. We finished with the pavlova. Each dinner had plentiful sides of potatoes, carrots, green beans, parsnips and red cabbage. Everything was fresh, abundant and delicious. The service was very good. We had a lovely chat with the 3rd generation chef/owner who not only cooked a great meal but also made some nice recommendations for our trip. We very highly recommend Murphy's Restaurant to everyone coming to the Beara Peninsula.

It was be very difficult to beat their Seafood Chower! It was probably one of the very best I've…read morehad so far. We also had the Pan Roasted Hake and it was just average. The Lamb roast and stuffing was better then average. Very generous portions of food. Service was very good, friendly and welcoming. The level of noise was a bit on the loud side, perhaps due to 2 families with young children. Oh yes! Must mention about the Murphy's draught beer, it was excellent!

This is a pretty good place for a drink. They do a nice pint. Centrally located and with plenty of…read moreparking this is an ideal spot. The bar staffwork hard and they are courteous. Service is rapid. There are some scrumptious snacks to be had at a credit crunching price. There is football shown on the telly regularly. A mixed crowd comes into this pub and tourists are made to feel welcome. The place is clean and bright - there is plenty of space. This pub gets all the basics right and does not pretend to be anything fancy. Very creditable.

Perhaps the least welcoming pub in Beara. The sign was falling off the front last time I looked…read more The well exterior tiles look like they are from a public convenience. Old farmers go there. The air is distinctly down at heel. The beer soaked chaps who frequent this lugubrious establishment do not wish to be distracted by anything so merry as conversation - they want to get on with the task of imbibing. Very little by way of food is available. How this places remains afloat financially escapes me.

Great food and ambiance, lived up to the review! We came here for lunch after driving around…read moreValencia island. We got the seafood sharing platter for 2 and the fish and chips. The sharing platter had a good variety of fish, though would have wished for a bit bigger portion, especially for 54 euros. The fish and chips looked like there were breaded instead of beer battered. We sat outside next to the dock.

There is a wide selection of beer all affordably priced. There are plenty of snacks to be had too. If one tells the management in advance one can get a feed for a few if there is a funeral wake on or something of that nature. This public house is opposite the one place of worship in Eyeries (na hAorai aus Galeige). After mass spiritually rejuvenated communicants are wont to slake their thirst in this most estimable of establishments. There is a big telly and they show sports matches - particularly the English and Welsh premiership and indeed GAA matches. When matches are on the place is packed the perfervid ambience is akin to what one would anticipate finding upon the terraces of a footer stadium

We knocked on the door and looked in the windows. Soon the door opened and the innkeeper, Don Harrington happily opened the door and poured us a couple of pints, even though he wasn't really open for business at the time. We sat at the end of the pub in front of a large picture window with a lovely view of Kenmare Bay. Don was quite friendly and seemed to enjoy chatting with us Yanks.

Breen's (or Colm Breen's to give its full title) is a local favourite. This pub has been run by the…read moresame family for decades The licensed trade here in the heart of town is a thing of intense though friendly rivalry. There are so many pubs cheek by jowl with each other. Breen's is no exception. The food is good and there are plenty of beers, wines and whiskies to be had at a reasonable price. The bar staff are all well presented and polite. Service is reasonably fast. This place can be packed of a Saturday night. The staff are chatty but not intrusive.
