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.

A Fantastic Dining Experience at Bricin!…read more A huge shoutout to Johnny McGuire for making our evening unforgettable! My husband and I were on the lookout for a dinner spot and didn't realize we needed a reservation. Luckily, we stumbled upon Bricin around 6:30 pm, right at the peak of dinner time. We were warmly greeted by the staff and asked to wait just a bit to see if they could fit us in. After a brief 15 minutes, Johnny worked his magic and found us a lovely table for two. Our server, Elizabeth, was absolutely wonderful! She made us feel right at home as we settled in for what turned out to be an incredible meal. I chose the Pork Apricot, while my husband enjoyed the Oven Roasted Duck Breast, both accompanied by generous servings of fresh vegetables and mashed potatoes. Every bite was perfection! With our bellies full and happy, we left to continue our vacation adventure, but not without emphasizing how much we appreciated Johnny and the amazing team at Bricin. We truly felt the warmth of an Irish welcome. If you're in town, make sure to stop by--you won't regret it! #Bricin #DiningExperience #IrishHospitality #GratefulCustomer

The place was packed which was a good sign and we quickly ordered our meals as we were starving. The Beef Stew came with three different servings of potatoes and from what I recall it was decent. What made this meal really exceptional was the dessert. Warm banana pie with delicious cold ice cream. Over the span of our 15-day trip in Ireland this was either my favorite dessert or tied as my favorite dessert for the trip.

I had not intended to leave Georgia, where the Almighty provides a perfectly adequate misery in the…read moreform of red clay and summer heat, but I found myself in Killarney. It is a town that appears to have been constructed entirely out of damp wool and roaming Americans weeping over their distant ancestors. It was raining, naturally. It has been raining since the beginning of time in this country, a fact the locals accept with the grim fortitude one normally reserves for original sin. My bones, accustomed to being baked in the Milledgeville sun, were practically singing a dirge. I required meat, and I required it immediately, if only to anchor my soul to my body before the damp washed it away entirely. They directed me to a place called the Porterhouse. It is a name that implies a slab of beef large enough to induce a revelation, which I took as a sign of divine providence. Inside, it was a cavern of dark wood and comfortable booths, bustling with the sort of frantic, joyous noise you hear right before a tent revival gets out of hand. The hostess, a girl with the kind of bright, untroubled face that suggests she has not yet realized the world is fallen, led me to a corner table. The menu was extensive, boasting of prime Irish beef--a creature I suspect was raised in a pasture significantly greener than any patch of earth the Lord saw fit to put in the American South. There were also, heaven help us, modern vegetable concoctions on offer, an affliction I decided to ignore in the same way I ignore folks who claim they don't believe in the devil. I ordered the steak, medium rare, on the principle that meat should bleed just enough to remind you that something had to give up the ghost so you could have your dinner. When the plate arrived, it was not an elegant thing, but it was honest. The beef was flanked by onions and mushrooms that had been sautéed into a state of profound submission. I cut into it. The meat was tender, rich, and tasted of the heavy, rain-soaked earth of County Kerry. It was a good steak. Across the aisle, a family of four was making quick work of a towering plate of cheese and fried bread, eating with a gluttony that was entirely unselfconscious. I watched them chew, pondering the peculiar grace that allows humanity to find such violent comfort in the consumption of food, even while the sky outside continues to weep. I paid my bill and stepped back out into the drizzle. The Porterhouse did not offer me a vision of the saints, nor did it cure the damp in my joints. But it provided a thick cut of beef and a temporary reprieve from the cold, which, in this sodden, beautiful purgatory of a country, is as close to a miracle as one has any right to expect.

The staff was very friendly and warm, the service was quick and seamless and the food was good but wouldn't say it was spectacular. It wasn't terribly pricey though so can get behind 'just good' food for a reasonable cost. Also, the layout of the place is really fun, lots of individual almost private dining rooms that make it a lot quieter even though it was packed to gills when we were there. Definitely worth a stop but probably not a place to go out of your way to visit.

We chose the prawn cocktail to start, roast supreme of chicken, and the 16 ounce t-bone. The prawn cocktail came in a large crystal serving dish with about 10 prawns covered in a Rose Marie sauce on a bed of lettuce. Prawns were well cooked, nice and tender, and sweet. Two slices of brown bread and butter. The chicken was lightly fried and came with a stuffing of thyme and spring onion, gravy and French fries. Chicken was well cooked, flavorful and juicy. The fries were nice and crispy. The t-bone was 16ounces and came with mushrooms, onions, onion rings and fries. The steak was cooked as requested, medium rare. The mushrooms were small button mushrooms with sautéed onions. Part of the steak was nice and tender but there were parts that were tough and grisly and fatty. It was okay but not something I would order again. The onion rings, 3, were heavily breaded, stuck together and were not appetizing to look at and definitely not to eat. The fries were nice and crispy and served very not. This was an okay meal but based on it I'm not sure we'd make a return trip. Seating was probably the most comfortable that we have found recently but the place is very noisy and makes it hard to hold a conversation. Service was mediocre in that once we got our main meal we didn't see a server to come back and check to see home things were. They were extremely busy so this might account for that but I'm not sure. .

Many tourists have been back and forth that road since then but the pub, attached to a hotel, is not doing at all badly, though you'd have thought the maintenance work, which put the outside benches out of commission, going on this week would have been done at the start of the season. Killarney was very busy and there were quite a few in Mollys in mid-afternoon, some snacking, some drinking and some doing both. We were met by a smiling waiter on the way in and ordered coffees which were brought to our table. The coffee was better than average and top-ups were available. We enjoyed our interlude there.
