09/10/2026: What a great hidden gem of a place. I hate to share this as it was so amazing but have to because it was so amazingly great! Great atmosphere, great service, great food and great company. We cannot wait to come back to enjoy such amazing food again!

08/10/2026: My husband has been on a self-appointed, insta influencer inspired- fish and chips tour of Ireland and he has officially declared this was the best!!!!! But seriously- SO good. Added bonus, atmosphere and people were so so lovely. Will not disappoint, give it a try! 5 stars, no notes!

29/09/2026: We ate there last Saturday, just the two of us. The restaurant is well-run by a family. The service was impeccable and very welcoming and warm without being intrusive.

25/09/2026: Everything was superb Service was exceptional Food was delicious

21/08/2026: Passing through Castleisland stopped at Pats , great food , great service, great menu

17/08/2026: Great staff lovely food and massive portions

09/10/2026: That’s what I call fish and chips!

25/09/2026: Great local restaurant on our doorstep .Castlemaine would be lost without Griffins. Great attention from Mark , Helen and staff. They have a great chef.

11/10/2026: On Thursday nights you can expect live entertainment in the bar. A fiddle, a squeeze box, a guitar, the music slowly builds through the evening, as does the atmosphere and before you go home there will be singing too. We ate, I had duck, John had scampi pulled that morning from Dingle Bay. Both were great but the duck was all meat (a common fault in these parts) and short on veg...for many a good fault but I love my vegetables and salad. The service, was good and the surroundings attractive.

08/10/2026: A wonderful place, and the gentleman who served us lunch today was incredibly kind and welcoming. Such a lovely experience!😉

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.

21/06/2026: To David and The staff at Davitts Guesthouse Kenmare. Myself And my friend stayed for the weekend at Davitts for my best friends Wedding. And from start to finish, we had the most welcoming and friendliest experience. The room was so comfortable and spacious and the breakfast was such a lovely homemade start to our day. We had the pleasure of meeting with David the owner. Such a gentleman. He kindly drove us to Kilarney Train Station to make sure we got the train home safe. We would highly recommend Davitts Guesthouse Kenmare for your Next Stay and ours. Thank You for Everything and we will return soon to the Kingdom 🌟 ☘️ Jennifer Duggan And Kay Moore

15/06/2026: Dogs aren't allowed in the inside bar but they have a good sized beer garden at the back (accessible from the street behind) which is dog friendly. And if you're solo with dogs - as I was - you can order and pay from your table

14/09/2026: I can't express how perfect our dinner was here. It was my mom's 65th birthday, and when I made a reservation I asked for a good table and they put us right next to the window. They also took note it was her birthday and came out with dessert and a candle. The service from Janet was 100/10. The food was even better! We shared oysters, the bread for the table was amazing and we each had a fish dish that was superb. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

21/08/2026: We booked a table of 9 with a child. The staff were amazing and the food was THE best we had over the course of our entire trip from Dublin, Doolin, and Dingle. It was cozy, bright and felt like we were eating dinner in a close relatives home. Patricia and Janet were lovely and I recommend EVERYONE visiting Dingle book a table there - also shoutout to Caitlin for her lovely service.

18/10/2026: Bricin's high rating is well deserved. Super friendly and efficient staff and cosy characterful setting. The owner? got a quick history out of us on the way to the table, then introduced us to a couple of locals dining nearby. We quickly made a connection and had a wonderful chat during dinner. My only criticism is the food comes out a little too quick, and all together. I don't know if it's an Ireland thing, or we've just been a little unlucky. Australians like a gap between starters and mains, and if you're smart you'll want to drag out your dinner here at this wonderful restaurant. The Boxty was fantastic. If we lived close by this place would be a regular. 5 plus stars.

18/10/2026: This was a cute place and the food was decent. I got the chicken Boxty and it was good! I don’t think I would get it again but it was good for what it was. My husband got the Hake and said that it didn’t have much flavor. It was pretty loud in the large room we were seated in. I wish we could have been seated in the other half of the restaurant that seemed quieter.

05/10/2026: Nice&kind workers, great ice cream with fresh milk! Love it🫶

01/10/2026: Wonderful ice creams. Staff are wonderful and very helpful with suggestions and ice cream samples.

18/09/2026: A truly excellent and very pleasant setting, with a warm and efficient welcome. Reservations recommended.

15/09/2026: Have a been a couple of times over the past few months and it was great on both occasions. Try the delicious Beef Wellington

28/09/2026: Fantastic good, would recommend the fish stew. Yeah atmosphere and friendly staff.

20/09/2026: Finally managed to bag a table at Doyle’s (booking is essential) and wow, I think I will be dreaming of that hot & cold crab salad for a long time! Huge portion of Seafood Tagliatelle, amazing selection of fish & easily shared between 2 people if you want to try some of the smaller plates. Next time I will be having that crab dish all to myself. Nice relaxed atmosphere and the service staff were all very pleasant. Can’t wait to return someday.

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.
