Pub Reviews

Killarney has loads of offer in terms of nightlife. There are at least 4 great clubs and more being added every few months. The pub life is the best, in my opinion. You can visit the tourist pubs, like The Laurels which is good but to experience the local pub life and the banter of the locals visit the Failte and Murphys and The Killarney Heights . There is also this new retro new bar called ' The Kube ' with its trendy patrons and even cooler furnishings and funky music. In the Summer on a fine Summer's day there are buskers (singers) who entertain all day long and usually a large crowd gathers. Killarney has a lot of offer

I live in killarney and the best place to go clubbing is McScorley's . It is by far the best nightclub in Killarney!!! Great atmosphere, good craic, brilliant music and very very friendly people. I can guarantee it would be a fantastic night. Also while your there do not forget to check out the bouncers & DJS.

Oil the wheels with a Guinness or three at Courtney's Bar in Plunkett Street. One of a clutch of so-called "traditional" Irish pubs in town, Courtney's has the advantage of being the genuine article - complete with garrulous locals. If you've settled in for the duration, there's often live music in the upstairs bar. If not, turn left and walk 30 yards down the road to Mustang Sally's (00 353 64 35790) on High Street or turn right and head 50 yards up the road to McSorley's (00 353 64 39770) on College Street. Both are restaurant/nightclubs that attract live acts of the caliber of Shane McGowan of Pogues fame.

Killarney has been honing the art of entertaining visitors for more than two centuries. If you are searching for a "real Irish pub," you will be disappointed, but there is still plenty of craic in the local watering holes. Coach loads of tourists are shepherded into The Laurels for an evening of ballad singing and toe tapping tunes, while the Danny Mann offers similar, but less formulaic entertainment. Buckley's and O'Meara's both offer traditional style music performed with precision. Murphy's has been awarded a James Joyce Award for being an "authentic Irish pub" and having a friendly atmosphere that is full of interesting characters. A lively crowd fills Hannigan's with a good mix of tourists and locals. The Art Deco decor of the 98 Bar contrasts with the norm and attracts older singles. A Harley-Davidson dominates the interior of Kelly's Corner and the friendly staff serves a young crowd. Well dressed natives go to The Kube to be seen. This snazzy bar in the bottom reaches of The Towers Hotel is the current hot spot and you could be turned away if your attire is not up to scratch. Both the Great Southern and Killarney Park hotel bars offer intimacy in elegant surroundings with the soft tinkling of a piano in the background.

Killarney has two great pubs. ' The Grand ' is where the locals and the tourists mingle. There is traditional music until 11:00 in the front bar, then a nightclub opens in the back until 1:00. It is full nearly every night of the week. The second is called ' Courtney's ' and is famous for being the only pub in Ireland licensed to serve Guinness in jam jars.
This is where the locals come and relax, and then party upstairs in the surreal nightclub open until 1:00. Ma is sure to be seen dancing there anytime you go.

 The Grand , Killarney There is usually a traditional Irish band playing from 9-11pm and then another live band start up near the back of the pub til about 1am. The night we went there was a really good rock band, Bluemoose, (http://www.bluemoose.ie) playing and we all had a really good night. There is also a dance floor area through the back that opens up later in the night.
Dress Code: Anything goes from what I could tell

Murphys Bar is a long established favourite in Killarney, with a strong local clientele and a warm welcome for tourists. This pub has a genuine traditional feel, with stone floors and wooden stools and an interesting array of characters. Owners Sean and Marie Murphy pride themselves on the mighty food, mighty music and mighty craic. Ballad entertainment is nightly during the summer. Bar food is served daily from 10:30am-9pm.

West End House stands at the bottom of New Street, across from St. Mary's Cathedral. A large rotisserie is the dining room centerpiece and you can watch the flames cook your meat to perfection. Vegetarians may find the pickings slim, but this is a popular spot for meat eaters. Further up New Street is the renowned Dingles Restaurant . Contemporary Irish cuisine is served in a cosy, casual atmosphere and reservations are a must. Moving up the street, Ma Reilly's serves up those old favourites just like you remember from home. The Country Kitchen has fine baked goods and serves simple lunches and snacks, while Café Internet serves its snacks with cyber-time. The popular West Lake Palace has Cantonese specialties and reservations are advised for dinner. Further along the street is Busy B's Bistro . This lively spot has a dedicated young following who seem to flow in and out for most of the day. Teo's , just next door, serves Mediterranean dishes to a mainly tourist crowd. In good weather you can dine alfresco. A hop across Main Street and under the arch brings you to Old Market Lane. In complete contrast to the old terraced cottages, is the Cooperage . Sleek and cool, this fine restaurant serves cuisine that is as modern as its decor.

Back under the arch and on the right is High Street. There is a concentration of restaurants in this area with a mixture of styles. The Laurels is world renowned for its "singing pub," but it also has a pleasant restaurant that opens for the summer. High Street also features several coffee houses that serve tasty lunches. Sceal Eile , The Bean House , and Charlie Nelligan's Hot Bread Shop are all good places for a snack or light lunch with a steaming cup of tea or coffee. For more substantial and wholesome fare try Bricin. During the summer months, Bricin extends its hours and offers a dinner menu. The Sceillig offers basics you can count on, while nearby Gaby's and Foley's have upmarket steak and seafood. If you are in the mood for international fare, Sherkin Indian Restaurant serves excellent Pakistani dishes, while Robertino's has Italian specialties.

The south-eastern part of town including Main Street, Plunkett Street and College Street offers more eating opportunities. The Stella caters for tourist traffic with basic, good value food. Nearby, Paddy's serves an excellent range of Irish dishes with French influences in a casual atmosphere. Mustang Sally's attracts a hip, young crowd for its burgers and other American-style cuisine while the youngest diners of all love Mac's Ice Cream Parlour . If you venture into the Innishfallen Mall, Hermann's Continental Bakery provides tasty snacks from lunchtime until evening with delicious desserts to finish. The two level Cyranos serves international cafe fare. Further along Main Street, there are several hotel dining rooms to choose from with the Ross, Killarney Par k, and Great Southern grouped closely together. The International Hotel calls its bistro and bar Hannigan's. A lane connects Main Street with College Street and is the location for a Taste of India . Sizzling Baltis and Tandoori specialties are featured on the menu. At the top of the lane and down to the left, you will find the Mayflower Chinese restaurant and the friendly Celtic Cauldron cafe . The Bombay Palace , on the right, offers another Indian option with an extensive menu and delivery service. Cronin's family restaurant is nearby serving good, budget meals. The Killarney Royal has elegant hotel fare, while the Arbutus' award winning restaurant Pat's has interesting, contemporary cuisine in a fun atmosphere. The McSweeney Arms and Failte serve traditional favourites. At the adjacent Outlet Centre, O'Brien's Sandwich Bar makes the best sandwiches in town.
