One of the few places open for Xmas eve! We stopped in, were seated immediately and server had great recommendations. Awesome buttered rum hot drinks to start. We got the ribeye, chicken pot pie and beef roast. Everything was delicious except the chicken pot pie even though it came recommended. The chicken was cubed and tasted fake and they put a really thick creamy sauce. Wish I had gotten the beef stew instead. Portions are huge!! Great service and really loved the dark woody ambiance inside. read more

We stopped in last Monday night, the place ended up being packed! Our bartender was great, our server was great, the food was amazing! It was everything we could have hoped for after a day of skiing! Keep doing what your doing! read more

We dined here one evening during the MLK weekend and had a great experience. Even during the pandemic, they've managed to maintain a warm friendly vibe (while taking all necessary and state mandated precautions). Our server was really nice and took great care of us throughout the meal. We ordered the award winning chicken wings and the pretzels with the beer dip. The chicken wings were great, not sure if I would rate them among the best I've ever had but they were definitely what we needed after a day of skiing. The pretzels which I believe were from the bakery next door were perfect (mental note to visit the bakery next time we're in Ludlow) and the accompanying cheese dip was delicious as well. Thank you for a great meal, Killarney's and for providing a semblance of normalcy in these strange times. read more

I don't know why some Yelpers hate on this place so much; it deserves better than an average 3 star rating; I went twice in one day after a day of skiing at Okemo. *Swung in around 4 after leaving a great bluebird day on the slopes; wife and I immediately found bar seats, wasn't too crowded just yet, unlike The Loft at the base of Okemo where the line was out the door; no thanks, I'm not 21 anymore. *Bartender, who I would later learn was Tyler, was very prompt with menus and pours a great draft beer. Their selection is really good; great mix of IPA's, stouts, pales. Many are local to VT which I appreciated. *Got the chicken wings (buffalo); I can see why this place won an award for these; they were moist (sorry ladies, I know you hate that word), meaty, and the sauce won't knock your socks off. Just the right amount of heat. They have a habenero sauce though too for those who want even more heat. *After checking into our hotel and relaxing for a bit, we debated dinner; we'd seen burgers on Killarney's menu, so off we went. Again, we weren't disappointed. Verbacon burger is where it's at; literally one of the better burgers I've had in the last few years and I eat a lot of burgers. Cooked perfectly, bun was on point, plenty of bacon, meat terrific. So good. Fries stayed hot forever too; how do they do that?! *Vibe in here is super chill and relaxed; you just feel comfortable here. It was a Sunday night, so it wasn't crazy but we enjoyed the juke box and people watching. We'll be back soon! read more

This place is a gem. Awesome food (recommend the wings), service, beer and vibe. Hosts and waitresses very kind and pleasant despite being extremely busy. Got our food really quick without having to ask for extra napkins or water. Absolutely amazing!! The food was authentic and delicious!!! read more

Passed by this place a few times while visiting Ludlow. My boyfriend and I decided to come here for lunch today. A waitress greeted us as we walked in, but wandered off. A guy jumped in and seated us (later saw him behind the bar, so I guess he was the bartender - nice fellow). Loved the decor! It has a warm feeling to it. I was tempted to drink a black & tan, but thought better of it (I'm a lightweight with alcohol and was driving). So, we ordered our food and drinks. My boyfriend was pleasantly surprised that they had iced tea. We're from Texas, so we're used to every restaurant having iced tea, but up in Vermont, it's been a challenge for us to find restaurants that have it. He ordered the Irish BLT, while I had the Sausage with peppers & onions on a roll. The fries were hot and crispy and there was no shortage of them. I ended up leaving most of my roll on the plate because my meal filled me up. My boyfriend enjoyed his BLT. His only complaint? "Needs mayo." I'd like to visit Vermont again. If we do, I aim to try the Bangers & Mash or the Shepherd's Pie. read more

Order 6 wings and 5 of them are the kind I don't like. French fries are served cold. Bartender was the most unpleasant woman I met all day and tried to double charge me for the beer. This is a tourist trap "Irish Pub"'with expensive crappy food and lousy service. read more

I have been here twice, once for lunch and once for dinner, lunch was nice, it seemed like they were underprepared for larger groups, but that might not have been their fault. My family, 5 people total had an easy time getting seated. The service at lunch was great and our waitress was more than willing to talk to us and recommend options. The food was overall pretty good. Wings were a bit over hyped but were still good. Dinner was basically the same only the pretzels weren't good and the waitress this time was more curt and got the wing order wrong, however my Dad might have confused her with which ones we were ordering so take that with a grain of salt. Overall everything was really nice and good. Definitely recommend looking at the special's menu first before the normal menu. My mother got a duck dish that I wish I had seen and gotten instead of the steak I got. Steak was still very good, though the potatoes were strangely subpar to what I am used to. But still I recommend trying it out. read more

This place is EXCELLENT. Great bar thats fully stocked, completed with a St. Patty's day count down. The food is cooked well, keeping my ski/snowboard friends coming back for 2 years. We've had and enjoyed the entire menu, including the hot dog challenge. The hot dog challenge is an 8oz hotdog, ALOT ALOT of fries, and everything topped with chilli, cheese, kraut, chillies, etc. once the plates get there the manager makes an announcement that you'll be attempting the challenge, then stating that no one has ever completed it. Once the plates got there I had already called it quits and just enjoyed the delicious hot dog. Oh, did I mention it comes with a diet coke and you have to finish it in 30 mins? This place is right when you enter the Okemo ski resort, making it the ultimate stop in the area! Waitresses and hosts are friendly. The manager even came around to talk to us a few times. Great place, good friends, awesome skiing! read more

Killarney - hot dog challenge! - Burgers Near Me - Ludlow, Vermont

One of the few places in Ludlow open past 9 pm in the summer (can't speak for ski season), so we stopped for dinner while passing through on a Thursday night... Atmosphere: The pub was packed with locals, which is always a good sign. Very friendly crowd: We were even invited to play when they set up for Bingo Night. A little dark but didn't feel dirty, just very rustic/pub. Service: Derek was motion-sick so we opted to sit in the dining room, but eventually moved to the pub since we were the only ones back there and there was only one waitress on duty (not a fan of being inconvenient or inconvenienced). She was very nice and helpful, just over-stretched. Food: Very good buffalo wings! They had sold out of fish & chips (which again I take as a good sign; waitress said it's their most popular dish) but our entree salads were good alternate choices: Derek liked the unique Caesar dressing, and my Irish cob was tasty too but its chicken a bit salty for me. On waitress' recommendation, opt out of their "cob dressing." Discovered Wolaver's summer seasonal: Wildflower Wheat. LOVE!!!!! Overall, I think the healthy presence of locals is the best review. If you're in Ludlow and want some good Irish pub fare, it's a win. read more

Where do I start? The food is amazing! Tuna tacos are out of this world and Flat Iron steak not far behind. However, the absolute best part about this restaurant is the traditional Irish music every Thursday night. I feel like I'm back in Ireland! read more

The only star is for the waitress Skye. She was very good. The food left a great deal to be desired. The chicken wings were just ok. Not impressive. Pork chops that were one of the specials were terrible and the vegetables served with the pork chop were raw. The mashed potatoes were cold and not tasty. Fish sandwich had small piece of fish that was not anything special. Shepherds pie was fairly good. Creme broulee was good. Overall a disappointing trip. read more

The chowder was delicious and completely hit the spot... go for the bowl, it's not too much! Ordered the Verbuger and it was fantastic! Not too sweet and the bacon was perfect. The mountain of fries were cooked just right, too. Crispy but not over cooked. Ambiance was very friendly. Joshua did a great job serving and being attentive. Can definitely recommend! read more

I'm sure this place is fine for most people, but they discrimate against foreigners. They made us all leave and wouldn't serve my friend visiting from Italy because she's European. She didn't even go to drink. Will not be returning. read more

MJ very rude and unprofessional.Worst bartender ever. Will never go back to this place.

What a great place to go after hitting the slopes food is awesome service is great and tremendous portions bring your appetite!!!! read more

Asked the waitress for not breaded wings three times and got breaded wings and the wrong drinks. Drinks are ok priced but service is slow bar tenders rude and wings are over cooked and breaded. nice hostess, bad parking, outside area is marginal and bathrooms semi gross. Overall skip it and get wings or apres ski else where! read more

12 wings were 28.00 They were above average but I've had over 20 wings from different places better at least. Blue cheese dressing was runny with no lumps of actual bleu cheese There are many better more moderately priced places around , maybe Just not wings. read more

Killarney's is an Irish pub in the heart of Ludlow. They have a great menu which includes many traditional Irish dishes. They also have a great bar area where one can enjoy a drink or two while enjoying good conversation, sporting events on their large televisions, or depending on the night live music. The service is terrific, so stop by as you're sure to have a good time. read more

Nice Irish pub with standard decorations and food. It'd be great to walk into a Irish pub and see something completely different than bottles of Guinness, pictures of old men & sheep and mirrors with beer logos on them. But, besides that, the staff is very friendly, the ambiance is nice and the food is decent to good. I had tuna tacos, which were pretty good, if not just plain odd. Sushi grade tuna, spicy sauce, some kind of lettuce all rolled up in a tortilla shell. read more

Beer selection was great but menu choices were not available. They were out of 3 Irish meals. It's disappointing that an Irish pub was out of 3 Irish meals. Meal portions were small. It was an expensive meal with limited food read more

The food was decent for pub food. It wasn't amazing but everything was good. I had a burger and fries and the fries were frozen but they cooked them well so they weren't dry. I also had the pot of gold potatoes and they were really just like cheesy baked potato. The service was great though, I would go back again but I don't know if it would be my first choice. read more

I'm not from VT, nor am I Irish, so perhaps you can take that account when you read this review. And, I'm not 21 yet, so I didn't drink anything here, lol. I popped in, got the clam chowder, wings, and a BLT- and I have been dying to come back ever since. The honey wings are, for sure, worth the four+ hour drive to get there. Personally, it (the honey sauce) is much better than their contest-winning blend. Do yourself a favor and come in, at least for the things I listed here. My boyfriend says the grilled reuben is quite good as well. read more

First time there with group of 6, great service (Tyler) and fantastic food. Atmosphere also excellent. Steak sandwich would be considered a steak dinner at many places. Cold beer, great food and service, what more do you need! read more

We have been here many times. There are really good dishes... and very poor. Burgers, fish n chips and shepherds pie are great. Bangers and mash and corned beef and cabbage ... not so much. I had the corned beef and cabbage last night. It was AWFUL!! No flavor. It tasted like they boiled the beef, carrots, potatoes and cabbage separately and then just put them on the plate with a layer of mustard on the beef. For an Irish Pub it was truly disappointing. Now I'm a pretty good cook but I will tell you MY corned beef and cabbage is MUCH better... and I'm Italian!!. Came back again with friends on Thursday night. Now I know what to order. Started off with chicken wings. REALLY good! Then I had Shepherds Pie, my wife had Fish and Chips as did our two friends. It was all excellent! To top it off, the music from the local musicians playing Irish ballads was outstanding. That and a couple of Irish Car Bombs (Jameson's rather than Baileys thank you) made for a great night! read more

This is one of our favorite places to go when we're in Ludlow. It's casual but the food is good and the staff is friendly.

Wow, we stopped in on a Sunday afternoon when it wasn't terribly busy and we had the slowest service ever! My friend ordered chicken fingers and was then informed that they were out of them. How are you out of chicken fingers on Super Bowl Sunday?! He was also informed that the beer he ordered was out, ugh. We then ordered a round of beers and drinks that took FOREVER to come and then my friend's beer was incorrect. So now I'm half-way done with my beer before his new one arrives. Waiting for the check was a bit of a challenge as well. The place looks like a lot of fun. Maybe they were short on staff but with the Super Bowl being played later that day and with the place light on customers you would think it would have been faster. read more

We've driven by this place for years on our usual trips between CT and VT. We finally had time to stop in the day after Thanksgiving. They're usually closed for lunch on Fridays but we were happy to find they were open the day after Thanksgiving. We (me, my husband, and 9 year old) sat in the bar area. We loved the decor and the Irish music playing. Seemed like we were back in Dublin! They were setting up live music which we wished we could have stayed for. They do have a kids menu but my son ordered the wings since they won an award for them. They're the breaded and fried type and were very good! Plenty of beer choices to wash it down with (for my husband, no my son). I was impressed with the wine selection for a Pub. I ordered a wine on special from France and it was delicious. For entrees we decided on the chicken sandwich and fries. The chicken was tender and the roll it was on was very good, but the chicken lacked flavor even with the aioli. However there are plenty of other entrees to choose from and we hope to stop in again sometime on our way through. We have to get back there at least for a Guinness and live music. read more

Killarney - Burgers Near Me - Ludlow, Vermont

it was legit! as 34 year old ethnically Irish male who grew up in the suburbs of Boston im highly critical of pubs, but this one didn't disappoint. I'm very confident in stating its the best Irish Pub outside of Massachusetts. They serve many traditional irish dishes, including colcannon which is so hard to find. But most importantly they use real potatoes and actually mash them so you actually get beautiful lumpy potatoes not so ridiculous whipped paste they try to pass off as mashed potatoes. Now why after that glowing review did they get 4 stars instead of 5. well first my table was wobbly and that's a huge pet peeve of mine. Secondly they used red corned beef instead of grey for their boiled dinners, I know that's really nit picky but trust me folks the grey is better. read more

Easily the best wings in Vermont and the friendliest staff near okemo. Tyler the bartender was super friendly and helpful and still managed to stop by regularly despite the crowded bar. Great selection of beer and liquor. Food was fresh and excellent. Wings were crispy and well sauced! We ended up coming here twice in one weekend. read more

Friendly service and awesome atmosphere - so glad I finally made it in after several visits to Okemo. Now I can't wait to go back! We did wings, burgers and fish n chips everyone had a great meal and loved the fries! Next trip you will find me at the bar! read more

Came on Christmas Day for an early dinner, which must be taken into account. They were very understaffed, but overall we had a nice experience. The food was decent, and about what you would/should expect. The main reason I don't give it a 4 star rating are the prices. Way overpriced for what you get, so the value or perceived value is reduced. read more

The service was terrible. Went in with three girlfriends for a birthday celebration. We just wanted to have a glass of wine before we moved on to our dinner reservations at another restaurant. I asked several times to please have a napkin to wipe down the bar because there was spilled ketchup everywhere my girlfriend went to the bar to try to order a Drinks we just wanted glasses of wine and the bartender purposely ignored her kept walking by her three times. Finally a waitress came and took her order. We sat there for over 25 minutes and watched people walking in way after us several people and got served their drinks. At the bar right away we sat we waited we waited finally we got up to leave never got served waitress never came back. I walked up to the hostess and said to her FYI we never got served. We are leaving and she literally said what do you want me to do about it I'm just the hostess!!! maybe you could pass it along to your manager maybe you could give a crap or apologize and go get a manager ??? We walked out terrible service!! read more

Great après ski bar!! Just crowded enough but not obscene like at the Loft. Traditional Irish flair with a local twist. There are over one hundred patches from local and regional fire/police/ambulance all nailed to the wall behind the bar. We tried the potato skins which were good. A large handful of beers on tap - and certainly more of a selection than what's available on the mountain read more

I am in love with this place! We were staying in town for the weekend and wanted a place to watch the game so we came here. The drinks were very reasonable and the food was fabulous. We ate so much I am pretty sure they didn't have any food left in the kitchen. the Killarney Rolls - OMG MUST HAVE - i want some right now The potatoe skins - very very yummy and cheese The fish sandwich - was pretty good - the fries were wonderful and then .... THE CHALLENGE My boyfriend decided to do the hot dog challenge. its a 1/2 pound beef dog on a baguette covered in chili (with beans) and cheese and jalapenos. With four servings of fries all covered in chili (with beans) and cheese and jalapenos. Add a diet coke. They staff was so fun as he was trying to do it and we just had a great time. If i ever come back to Ludlow I will definitely be eating here! It is a must try. read more

A traditional Irish pub with some added flare. Lots of seating, nice atmosphere, and friendly staff. They collect patches of different public safety and first response agencies and display them behind the bar. They offer some of the best wings in the area, along with good traditional Irish food. The only thing that is undesirable about this establishment is the fact that they will close whenever they want to if they feel like they aren't getting enough business. I've seen them close at 9 or 10pm with 8-10 people at the bar. No last call or anything. read more

The food and service at Killarney's was fantastic! The drunken clams and the Verbacon burger were absolutely delicious and my friend said the same about the Reuben! Would definitely come again if I was in the area! read more

Great service and not too kitschy atmosphere right off the Okemo mt. Not great food, but if you're in the mood for a pint, and listening to the drop kick murphys after skiing, it could do the trick. Also looks like they have some live bands. read more

The Killarney is exactly what you want in a mountainside ski bar. Live music, plenty of taps, "ski bum ambiance." Certainly would stop here again for a drink. However, I would not choose to send you here for the food. Don't avoid if you're hungry, the menu just made everything sound better than it ended up tasting. The Guinness stew was our table favorite. Great to have something warm after a day on the slopes. read more
