08/06/2026: Beautiful hotel and great friendly and professional service from all. It was such a pleasure to spend a few days here. Food was excellent and the location is perfect for walking around Killarney. right beside the train station too if you don't have a car.

12/08/2026: Some guys playing great music with good Guinness

11/08/2026: An old-fashioned Irish pub, with both meat and seafood, tasty fish. We'll skip the pasta, but we're not in Italy, so we'll make do. Excellent beer, classic Irish pub selection. Quick and competent service.

21/09/2025: Nice, little coffee truck. Great cappuccino!

13/09/2025: Great coffee, sweet location :)

18/07/2026: Amazing refined touch lifting amazing locally sourced ingredients. Had house-smoked trout to start and monkfish for main. Hard to choose between the desserts. Worth booking and making a detour. Great value 2 and 3 course options and amazing bread and butter included.

15/07/2026: Amazing food and lovely staff. We went 2 days in a row and the food was absolutely delicious, highly recommended!!

13/08/2026: Quality products. The food is pretty much the same as in any other pub, but having tried several, including three in Kenmare, this one really stands out for the quality of its ingredients. Plus, it's cheaper than other pubs. They have a great live band playing Irish-style pop-rock covers. The pork ribs with homemade BBQ sauce were absolutely excellent. The service was a little slow, but that's a welcome change from other pubs where you're rushed through!

12/08/2026: The food is good. The staff is very friendly. The wait is very reasonable. The overall atmosphere is good.

12/08/2026: best seafood chowder i've tasted!

17/08/2026: Great time here for dinner. Food was delicious and reasonably priced for a more touristy location. The real stars go to Oisin and Connor for a fantastic live music set-great musicians, involving the audience and creating a great atmosphere.

16/08/2026: Had lunch here on a recent trip to Killarney. Have been before, but this time had our young family with us (6yr old and 3mth old). Staff could not have been more accommodating. Did nit have a booking for Wednesday, lunchtime. Husband had wings, which were delicious. I had crab and smoked salmon open sandwich, which was generous in portion size and so fresh and delicious. Very reasonably priced and a great atmosphere in the pub. The servers were fantastic. Highly recommend!

11/08/2026: Where else can you go and buy glue or a dog collar and also a pint of Guinness at the same time.

08/08/2026: Great pub that serves an excellent pint. If you are looking for a top pint of Guiness I would highly recommend you visit.

14/08/2026: "This is raw, ancient magic on the edge of the world. You drive out to Waterville Golf Links thinking you’re just playing a game of golf, but the moment the Atlantic wind hits your face and you look out across those dunes, you realize you're somewhere special. It’s wild, dramatic, and completely humbling. The layout is absolute poetry—undulating fairways, punishing bunkers, and views that’ll stop you dead in your tracks. But what really seals the deal is the soul of the place. The caddies know every blade of grass and speak with that dry, razor-sharp Irish wit, and the clubhouse treats you less like a tourist and more like family coming home. Finish 18, order a cold Guinness and a hot plate of food at the clubhouse, and try telling me there’s a better place on earth. Absolutely magnificent."

11/08/2026: Waterville, is deservedly regarded as one of the great golf courses in the world. Fabulous service, great caddie experience and simply an outstanding golf course.
