07/09/2026: The restaurant is sooo cute☺️ I chose it for my BF’s birthday🎂 We had a wonderful time here! The inside of the restaurant is amazing—don’t let the exterior fool you! 😂 The food and service were top-notch.

18/10/2026: This place is amazing. I’ve never had a Shepards pie that I’ve loved until I came to Cronin’s. Highly recommend. My husband got the sirloin with onions and mushrooms. He is celiac and they were very accommodating. Even brought gf bread out for him. He loved his meal as well.

17/10/2026: While exploring as much of Ireland as we possibly could, this was the only restaurant we actually went back to for a second night. It is that good.

16/08/2026: Over a thousand different whiskeys from around the world, lovely staff, great ambiance, decent prices. If I’m ever back in Killarney I’m visiting for sure

15/08/2026: Really fund cocktail bar. Food was great and the selection of old-fashioneds was super interesting. Would totally go back again and again.

18/10/2026: Wow best fish and chips in Kilarney service was first class food pipping hot and the onion rings were the best

15/10/2026: Very fresh pan fried sea bass. Delicious. Also smoked salmon terrific.

16/10/2026: 25 adults and kids for a family get together , service and food were spot on .

13/10/2026: Walked in for lunch with ease and had an excellent meal. The seafood stew was spectacular and the brown bread pairs with it just perfectly. The seafood pie came out piping hot and took a long time to cool off but was also tasty and a very large portion. The restaurant has the cutest decorations, kept the ocean theme but very modern, cute and well done overall.

18/10/2026: A lovely small restaurant for intimate dining

14/10/2026: Very good food, restaurant wasn’t too busy. Unfortunately the door was constantly open which made it a bit chilly. Otherwise had a good time and would come again.

09/10/2026: Great food and service. Good price

05/10/2026: Visited here recently for a family member’s birthday. The staff really did everything possible to make the occasion special, including bringing out a cake + candles and singing happy birthday without even being asked. It made our evening!! Thanks so much to all there. Highly recommend ❤️

08/10/2026: Awful, overpriced, recycled food, most likely reheated in the microwave. It's a pity I held positive memories prior, as the food was exquisite and fresh. The restaurant is now rundown in every possible way, ( the whole place is in serious need of revamp, the chairs are uncomfortable, with stained flat cushions, above you could see the TVs with dust on them, the table legs had droplets of dried-out condiments and food, it was really filthy). The service was good, but obviously we expected top tier food that's why we stayed on. Their status as a reputable, decent food restraunt have surely sunk. We will not be returning, and I wouldn't recommend going to eat there.

06/10/2026: The food wasn't great. The meat in Guinness had absolutely no flavor. Meh.

20/10/2026: Great little pub in town. I really enjoyed the live music and bartenders who made the night very fun and lively

13/10/2026: So my Canadian friends and I popped in on our way to Cork for a quick pint. We had a delightful time getting a few stouts into us after a long day of walking. We made friends with the locals and eventually struck up a conversation with a guy the locals called "Oh, dat C**t." I offered to buy him a beer and before I could, he stumbled off on another direction. The next thing I saw was him downing an entire glass of red wine he had picked up off of a table. Feckin Legend.

29/10/2026: Excellent pub! Great staff and atmosphere & excellent food. We will return when we come back to town next. Jennifer was very welcoming and provided great service

29/10/2026: Had a lovely dinner with my family when staying in Killarney. Jennifer was very friendly. The seafood chowder was delicious.

15/09/2026: A wonderful meal! Super friendly servers. Thank you. Definitely recommend this for a yummy meal. My husband and I were visiting from Canada and we really appreciated the warm hospitality.

10/09/2026: The lamb shank was so tender and delicious. The live music was nice too

07/10/2026: Sadly I didn’t get the barista’s name, but she was exceptionally kind and made the best coffee we’ve had in Ireland! They also had a vegan lemon slice which was delicious. Köszönöm Szépen!

03/10/2026: Stopped here for coffee, chocolate and a cookie. Coffee was good as were the chocolates. Sadly the cookie was past its best, on a Saturday afternoon this should not be sold.

14/10/2026: The star of the show here is the bathroom, followed by the cocktails. Maybe it's because I'm an American but the stak showed up and looked like the face of death. I'm told it was undercooked but it seemed tough to me. Then again, I like it pretty rare... Maybe it's me. Fish and chips was vapid with little enough sauce to where it didn't come close to being enough to have a bit with each bite. I had some bites of the salad where the mustard/ dressing was super dense and at the very bottom so it didn't spread well. It seemed odd but was the best of the bunch... Thing is, it was mostly just vegetables. Overall, this place must be rated what it is by tourists not food people. But this whole town seems to be based on that so maybe I should just feck off

07/10/2026: Top 5 of the bathrooms I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing. Solid selection for pints and some grub. But on a serious note, the bathroom is opulent. After driving around a good deal of Ireland, it’s just a nice change of pace from the lack of pride in craftsmanship in some water closets for pubs/restaurants with a bar.

30/10/2026: Worst experience in Killarney – Extremely rude and disrespectful treatment! We visited Porterhouse Restaurant as tourists last week, hoping to enjoy a nice evening. We initially ordered drinks and some starters. After a while, when we called the waiter to order another round of drinks, we were told that we hadn’t ordered enough food and that the staff were not allowed to take any further orders from us. We were quite shocked but politely explained that we were happy to order more food as well. However, the waiter then told us that he had been specifically instructed not to take any more orders from our table. This was absolutely humiliating and unacceptable. We were paying customers, behaving respectfully, and willing to order more, yet we were made to feel completely unwelcome. We were left with no option but to pay our bill and leave. As tourists visiting Killarney, this was easily one of the worst hospitality experiences we have had. The treatment felt discriminatory, disrespectful, and completely unnecessary. No customer deserves to be treated this way, especially in a place that relies so heavily on tourism and hospitality. Extremely disappointing, and I would not recommend this restaurant based on our experience.

29/10/2026: Food was gorgeous. Nicest meal we had in Killarney. Staff were very friendly.

09/10/2026: Your Bartender Jason is awesome friendly knowledgeable on his spirits. Probably, Jason was one of the best parts staying at your hotel. After enjoying the area. And coming back. To the hotel. He was welcoming we look forward to our next visit

05/08/2026: Great drinks, great services, great ambient. Conveniently located inside the Muckross Park Hotel.
