So many whiskeys here! It will take a long time to try them all. We tried 5 half pours, which is 1/3 of 1 percent of the 1600 available. So it would take nearly a year going every day to try everything. That's probably not a healthy way to spend a year. You can always just walk in and order drinks (food available too) but curated tastings normally require advance bookings. But it wasn't busy so the bartender was able to spend some time with us even though the full tasting experience wasn't available at the time. read more

Yelp had this place listed as a cask bar. However, they only have a modest selection of beers on top. That said, they have an extensive collection of whiskeys. Very impressive. read more

Had a wonderful dinner here at Celtic Whiskey Bar & Larder. The place is operated by the same establishment that runs the Celtic Whiskey Shop at Dublin and online. The location has a full bar packed with delicate bottles of whiskey and a restaurant menu. Came here on a November evening with reservation. The Killarney was at quiet season so there were plenty of tables available. Seafood chowder: perfect thickness and texture, not overly gooey. The seafood tasted savory and fresh, and the texture was tender, so they were definitely NOT those frozen products most restaurants would throw into the chowder. Seasoning was spot-on. Chicken supreme: chicken breast with skin on. The skin was quite crispy. One slice of breast tasted quite juicy, the other side just slightly on the dry side. All other elements worked together very well. My friend's braised beef rib came in generous portion and very tender texture packed with red wine and gravy flavor. Only wish there were more gravy to go with the dish. After dinner, I grabbed a seat at the whiskey bar and had three drams of whiskey and a nice chat with the bartender who made the excellent recommendations and was apparently very knowlegeable about whiskey. All in all, a pleasant evening. Strongly recommend this spot to anyone visiting Killarney. read more

This place was awesome! By far the best bar we've been in so far in terms of whiskey selection and cocktail variety in Ireland and Scotland. Great food and the service staff was personable and knowledgeable on whiskeys and related recommendations for someone new to the country. Highly recommend!!!! read more

I know the go to in this country is usually to drink some beer but your boy loves a good cocktail. If Killarney couldn't be more cooler than it already is, it decided "Yea. And we got a fancy cocktail bar too." If I lived her I definitely would be coming here pretty often. Not only was the interior classy but the people working were super fun and chill. I think it was a nice change of pace because we just had came from Dublin the previous day and we were ready to explore a different town that had more small town vibes since that's the kind of town we live in America. The interior kinda reminded me of the Bay Area in a way. One moment we were in Killarney but the next minute we were in a whole different world. A world of tasty and complex cocktails. In any case the drinks were so good that I didn't remember the names of what I ordered but I'm glad in a way. They don't skimp on the alcohol. When I come back to Ireland this place is definitely going to be on the top of the list. read more

Great whiskey bar! The staff were outstanding providing tremendous service. Great environment to be with friends and have a good time.

Great experience here for dinner as a party of 6. We were initially planning to dine at a different restaurant in town, but was directed here as they could not accommodate us for the evening. Their beef and Guinness short ribs were incredible, definitely would recommend! I did not drink any of their alcohol but other folks in my party enjoyed several of their drafts. Service was good and they have a neat, classy ambiance here. Would recommend if you're looking for dinner in Killarney! read more

This place has such a great vibe. Lots of whiskeys and beer selection. We only came here for drinks but the food looked good and the service was wonderful. We came here in the afternoon when it wasn't too crowded, they server was so nice to take my kid's strollers to the back and was very tentative on our party of 6. We noticed that the place was filling up and since we were drinking only, we are occupying space for them to seat other guests. They never rushed us to leave and we were treated with a smile from start to end. Great place with a kid for an afternoon drink. read more

Celtic Whiskey Bar & Larder - Cool display outside - Irish Near Me - Killarney, Kentucky

While visiting Ireland I found this whiskey bar on yelp in Killarney that had great reviews. The reviews were spot on, this place was fabulous. My husband is the whiskey drinker so this stop was definitely for him, but they don't just have whiskey so don't let that stop you from going if you don't drink whiskey. I actually ordered an Irish coffee and it tasted amazing. They have an extensive menu of drinks to include different level flights of whiskey tasting. Aaron, the bartender, was so knowledgeable in explaining the different types of whiskey that I found myself enjoying the lesson on whiskey making. They also serve food, but since we ate before stopping by I can't give you a review on that. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Came here for the gin collection. Absolutely amazing list of options. Something for everyone!

We went for a whiskey and chocolate tasting at this amazing bar in the heart of Killarney. A different chocolate was paired with a unique whiskey, and the flavor of the whiskey was enhanced by each chocolate bite! Afterward, we had dinner in the restaurant, and the food was as good as the tasting. We loved the servers and, by the end, we totally embraced the Killarney culture. I must say that this venue was one of the highlights of our entire trip to Ireland! read more

Great food and drinks. I tried two different whiskey our server recommended after we discussed what I liked and both were amazing. The short ribs are to die for! This was our 2nd visit and they have been amazing both times. read more

Really enjoyed Celtic Whiskey Bar! You DONT need to be an avid whiskey drinker to enjoy this place. My fiancé is an avid whiskey drinker and I do not drink whiskey at all. We both LOVED Celtic Whiskey Bar and had wonderful drinks. We midday on a Friday and the experience was great. The bartender was so informative about the flights of Whiskey my fiancé ordered. He explained each whiskey and their nuances. Super friendly, and knowledgeable. My cocktails were amazing and it's clear the staff are dedicated to flavors, pairings and ingredients. read more

Travelled to Killarney from Scranton, PA, USA. My husband is a scotch drinker and had the whiskey flight (Ireland vs Scotland) and I did the gin flight. Both where awesome. Whiskey menu is indescribable and amazing. Same with the gun selections. We shared a charcuterie board to start, which was excellent. Husband had chicken supreme which was also delicious. I won the night with the venison dinner. It was OUTSTANDING. Finished with the choux bun. . Definitely a must visit place for whiskey and gin lovers. Staff were great all around and the bartenders knew their spirits inside and out. We could've stayed for days tasting everything! read more

Dinner here was good. I had the venison and my wife had the chicken supreme, which were both nicely cooked and presented well. Service was fine and we were able to walk in on a Saturday evening. Nothing knocked our socks off, but I imagine if we had partaken in the whiskey part of the experience we probably would have had a better time. :) read more

Drinks are great, people are better! The actual bar is a whiskey lovers dream. Aaron, Alex, Holly and Vicky took care of us.

Super-friendly and knowledgeable staff. Unparalleled selection of whiskeys from across the globe. Great flights and ambiance. Do not miss. read more

Much thanks for a great visit! Evan was a great help, made several on point recommendations! Can't wait to return!

Found by accident, life is fortuitous. Can't wait to go back for a flight. The staff is informed and pleasant. Have a flight and get an education. There are also mixed drinks and beer. read more

Absolutely lovely service, fantastic food and drink at this place. Unfortunately, I was the driver so couldn't take advantage of their cocktails which sounded lovely on the menu, but my mocktail was tart, refreshing and minty + coconutty. My starter was a light and refreshing St Tola's goat cheese, roasted beets, almonds and chives for €10.25. Each bite was perfection - this local goat cheese didn't smell/ taste too 'goaty' and each bite was sheer delight. For my main, I got the fish pie (local fish, leeks and white sauce) plus soda bread for €14.50. It arrived in an iron pan with a mound of beautiful seared mashed potatoes. Now, let me tell you, I'm not a fan of potato on my pie, but this place, the chef made it worked. It was a massive serving however so half was taken home and they wrapped it up really well! My total cost was just under €30 bucks and absolutely money well spent. Recommend. There's other things on the menu I want to try so def will try and return when coming back to Killarney.

My wife and I were on our honeymoon in Ireland and we're both whiskey fans. What a better place to visit? The whiskey selection is INCREDIBLE. I've seen few whiskey bars with the range they have. We enjoyed a few great Irish whiskey flights our first night there, and came back for dinner the next night. Great food, great whiskey, and great service!! Highly recommended! read more

Food review: I got the chicken, leek and mushroom pie, it was to die for! The flavors were complex and all the elements were crispy when they needed to be and tender in the right places :) Service review: EH! I had to lead them, asking for water after my glass has been empty for 20 min, asking for condiments and check, etc. they seemed very disorganized. I sat at the bar and they were piling dirty dishes and food 12" away from me as if I didn't exist. There has to be a better way to do this instead of invading my space while I'm trying to enjoy my evening. Losing 1 star for disorganization. read more

I'm very well travelled and have never anticipated such a gastronomic orgasm at a small restaurant in Killarney!! The duck confit is amazing and so is the rack of lamb! read more

On our expedition across Ireland, we spent one night in Killarney and it was a highlight of our trip. My husband and I came here to try something we haven't had before and we're met by Colum and Gary. Honestly, after a few days of lots of family time in a cramped car, a night to ourselves was music to our ears and we immediately set out to do some whiskey tasting, as my parents aren't big drinkers (I know.... the shock!). The place was a beautiful location and conveniently located next door to our hotel. We had a wonderful time being educated and entertained at the bar. Extensive list and knowledge- these guys know their stuff. When we were discussing what to purchase and how many, things turned a bit pushy and "salesman" forward, pressing some bottles with a higher price tag that we, after having a few drinks, probably considered longer than we should have. Ultimately, we took his card and offered to order through him later and he was very kind and generous to graciously accept that offer. A wonderful experience in a very nice place - we hope to cross paths with either Gary or Colum in NY sometime soon and return the hospitality! read more

Amazing selection of whiskeys from all over the world BUT if you want to dive in to amazing Irish whiskeys that you had no idea existed, THIS is your place. The food is also excellent. Enjoyed the charcuterie and soup, but honestly all of the food I saw going by looked excellent! A great place to come and try the unavailable. They even have a deep selection of Japanese whiskeys and American bourbons (Pappy two maturities) read more

Wonderful ambiance and menu, and fantastic, knowledgeable service. Much better than surrounding tourist traps!

Food and drinks were both amazing!! Drinks were beautifully made and strong. My boyfriend had the ribeye and I had the sliders, all were great. I don't normally write reviews but we loved Celtic Whiskey Bar so much I felt the need to share! Definitely come here on your trip! read more

So on our trip to Ireland - we spent two nights in Killarney - and this was the best restaurant of the pair... Steak with peppercorn sauce was great - and the kids loved the sliders - especially the pulled pork ones. Whiskey list was great - had two flights split among the table (for tasting). Highlight of my stay in Killarney. Would happily go back (and hit their store in Dublin as well for a bottle of Killbeggan 21). read more

Absolutely wonderful meal here. The decor is appealing and the service warm. Had the chicken pie as recommended by our waitress, it was fantastic as was the lamb with dauphinois potatoes. The whiskey section is superb, ended up getting a flight of Irish single-malts. All of it at a very reasonable cost. read more

My wife and I just had the beef sliders. They were great. The beer was good, and they had Blanton's Gold! Whauuut? You can't find that in the states! Where it's from. Cool hipster vibe with a lot of whiskey and scotch choices. read more

We were so looking forward to this place as we both heart whiskey. It was a bit of a let down. The service was blah and the "Irish favorites" flight really turned us both off from Irish whiskey, aside from Jameson, of course. Typically at places, such as this, you get recommendations on what to order, nope not here. The food was okay, nothing to return for or talk about. Our least favorite drinking hole so far on our trek through the country. read more

The charcuterie and cheese board was very good and cocktails were great! They have an outstanding whiskey selection and we had a lot of fun trying different things on the menu! Unfortunately both our steaks were overdone (and for the price- we expected a more tender steak. The sauce was just okay), but everything else was very good! read more

My husband loves whiskey & when I found recommendations for this place online i knew we had to try it. It did not disappoint ! Exceeded expectations. Incredible whiskey selection!! Stylish atmosphere. The staff was the best we came across through our whole trip to Ireland. Gary is the man ! We did the whiskey & cheese pairing.. excellent cheeses & whiskeys. Gary was super helpful in helping us find whiskeys we would actually enjoy and took his time and expertise helping us. Funny easy going guy we wish we had time to go back. They will even ship bottles you buy to the states for you:) if whiskey is your thing you can't miss this place. read more

If you're in Killarney, I definitely recommend stopping by this awesome restaurant bar. We tried some of their whiskeys. At first, we wre overwhelmed because there were so many options, our server recommended some, and it turned out to be perfect for each our of taste-buds. For food, the vegetable soup was SO SO SO good. It was cold and rainy when we were there, so this definitely made my tummy warm and happy. read more
