PF McCarthys


Kenmare
02/06/2026: I'd give 2.5 stars if I could. We had dinner here while in Kenmare and while it wasn't horrible, I would've tried somewhere else in hindsight. The stew was watery (I am surprised to see some other reviews saying it is the best they've had in Ireland), only had a few pieces of meat. Bread was also an additional cost (bringing the stew up to almost 24 euros each) which wasn't mentioned when the server said "bread with it, right?" and we said sure (we heard it phrased this way to another table, too). However, when saw it on the bill later and mentioned that I am dairy intolerant so I didn't eat much of my soda bread, the server took it off the bill, which was nice. The interior atmosphere isn't as nice as the exterior, with American music playing and not much decor-wise. However, the chips were good and service was decent, and maybe we just chose wrong for our entree.
29/05/2026: We stopped into P.F. McCarthy’s to grab a pint and enjoy the local flavor. We absolutely loved Kenmare and all the locals were super welcoming. We met many locals in this bar and got loads of great information.

O Donnabhain's Traditional Irish Gastro Bar


Kenmare
21/05/2026: Beautiful guesthouse with nice rooms. At the beginning, I had to ask for coffee and tea facilities myself. Live performances every evening until 10 pm. On Saturday nights, the live performances last until after midnight. Other guests sometimes showed little respect for the night's rest (during 2 of the 4 nights), but that is not the hotel's fault. Very good breakfast served by a hardworking woman. The heating in the room was usually not on, and the bath only provided hot water if you turned on a weak stream... Several dogs in the neighborhood, one of which barked quite often, even very late. Good location for walks. Kenmare has everything: bus connection to Killarney, three supermarkets, and many pubs and restaurants, a good bookshop with walking maps.
20/05/2026: Lovely pub to have a relaxing meal and enjoy live music

The Coachmans


Kenmare
20/05/2026: Wonderful staff as always and great hearty food ❤️ Thank you 🤩
18/05/2026: Great spot to stay for those wanting to explore the ring of Kerry! The rooms are extremely comfortable and clean, not to mention spacious. The staff were all very kind and accommodating and having the breakfast each morning was such a nice perk (not to mention yummy). Definitely recommend booking it so it’s included! No parking directly at the hotel, but all the street parking spots are free. And although it says a 2 hr. limit everywhere that isn’t enforced - so you can leave your car worry free.

The Bold Thady Quill


Kenmare
21/04/2026: Great food served at the restaurants there. The rooms could use updating.
17/04/2026: We had a 3 night stay booked and had an unexpected flight change (that we did not make, the airline did). We needed to leave 1 day early so we notified them 7 days before the 3rd night we needed to cancel. But, because it was 5 days before the start of our entire reservation, they refused to cancel it and charged us $175 for a night we weren't there. They just kept restating it was in their terms and conditions that it has to be 7 days before the start of your reservation, not the day you are canceling. Yet, if we had only booked that 3rd night and notified them we needed to cancel the same day we did notify them, it would have been no problem and we would not have been charged apprently. They were unwilling to work with us and just kept pointing at their terms. Just beware and read all their fine print because if you ever stay here they will not work with you and will charge you for anything they can get, with no common sense or grace applied to your situation. Whatever the terms & conditions are applies above and beyond all common sense or service.

Gourmet Grill


Kenmare
27/09/2025: The best burger I've had in a long time. The crispy onions made it 🤤🤌❤️
19/09/2025: We got a spice box which is not an Irish spice box. Not enough peppers or onions or spice. The burger was good enough, but not worth 9.50, if it included chips it might have been more of an appropriate price. The service was very good.
