They do prefer cash, so plan ahead and hit the ATM before you go. Re: the B&B, our bathroom smelled like cauliflower and the smell permeated the whole room. It was really unfortunate because the room was cozy and we were exhausted, so it would have been hard to dampen our experience. That said, the full Irish breakfast was delicious and very quickly prepared by their in-house cook/housekeeper, who is super nice. They also helped us find parking when we arrived and were generally welcoming. Recommended for anyone passing through Tralee and looking for a cozy spot to sleep after a night at the pub.

By my last visit in 2017, there were noticeably fewer full service pubs around, so Kirby's got me for at least 3 or 4 visits. At my first lunch stop in 2017, the waitress noticed my tshirt, and we had a talk about the Dropkick Murphys. The carvery lunches were around 12 Euro but if you finish your plate you won't have to bother with dinner. Only disappointment was that they never had boiling bacon. It was a staple at every pub on our early trips, but now is mainly a staple at the Tesco grocer down the street. The food is wonderful. There was pleasant music later at night. Hope to be back some day.
