The whiskey selection of this bar is astounding - the green drink menu is only the tip of the iceberg, ask for the red menu aka whiskey bible. A number of these whiskeys are no longer on the market but for those that are, the larder offers a very good price as they acquire them at wholesale prices. For instance, a pour or a bottle of the 24-year award winning Teeling at the larder will cost you less than buying directly from the Teeling distillery. The cocktails are also superb and Evan the bartender can make delicious concoctions off menu to your tastes. I sampled the Innisfallen then had Evanake me 2 lovely drinks off menu. The bar offers a number of flights with or without cheese or chocolate pairings. I had a premium Irish whiskey flight paired with artisanal chocolate which was delicious. However, if you know your whiskeys I would simply sample from the whiskey bible rather than do a flight. The food was good but not astounding. I sampled the devilled lamb kidneys which simply did not appeal to me. The roast breast of Barbary duck was lovely but did not stand out. After dinner and drinks one evening, I ate elsewhere the next and simply came back for the drinks. read more

One of the best food experiences I had on my trip in Ireland. The cocktails had layers of flavor I could taste. My husband and I had the cheese straws which were a perfect bar snack. I got the 3 sliders, 1 chicken and 2 beef. I didn't even bite into the chicken one and I knew right away it was going to be delicious. The flavors are so layered, you really get to taste all the ingredients. Simply delicious, this was probably our favorite part about Killarney read more

This place was so amazing! We went September 2019 and the drink see ruins were phenomenal, and every dish my group ordered was excellent!

The most delicious pot pie and chowder we have ever had. Great service as well. Comfortable seating. Also if you like whiskey, they have an amazing selection. Feeling small batch was my husbands favorite. read more

The whiskey flight was yummy. The food was pretty good. And dessert was worth it. Luke was a charmer. read more

Fionn was a great help guiding us through our Irish beer/whisky adventure. We had a great time; would visit again!

If you are looking for a place that serves every kind of Whiskey, this is your spot. It is a modern feeling restaurant, so does not have a pub feel to it. As with many of the restaurants in Killarney, it was filled with Americans. Since the decor and clientele didn't feel Irish, it was a bit of a turn off for us. We ordered a meat and cheese board which was very good. read more

Had a great dinner here while we were in Killarney. We sat at the bar and the service was great. Bartenders were friendly and welcoming. We shared a beef and red wine pie as well as friend Brie with polenta and broccoli. Both were sooo good. I would absolutely recommend this place for cocktails and food- they also had a great whiskey selection! read more

If you like the brown stuff - you're a fool if you don't land here on your travels. Multiple flights to choose from or what seems like several thousand options behind the bar. Staff clearly has a great handle on the nuances of all things Whiskey. Food was great and while you've got to be a bit careful with the kiddos - lots of drinking devices on the table - they actually fit in pretty well. They've got some pricey options, but a really nice spread in cost and the flight options are a perfect way to try a lot at a very fair price point. Without question, worth a stop. Well done folks. Cheers! read more

This bar is wonderful, and the bartenders are amazing! Allen is very knowledgeable about all the whiskeys and he took the time to learn what we liked, his suggestions were spot on and delicious. Luke is a mixologist extraordinaire every drink he made for us was beautiful and delicious. read more

One of the best whiskey sours I've ever had. The pork ribs were also ones to fight over if you're like the dog who must have his bones. Took half the ribs home along with mash as the portions were for hurlers. The wife enjoy her squash salad as much taken home for our next dinner. The icing was the waiter turned the lights down behind the wall of whiskey bottles so the lables were not blackened out by backlighting. The man knew how to please. Must have been a common request. Would recommend this for any traveler who wants the know the reason why whiskeys are the reason for slowing down a sip. read more

Absolutely incredible drinks and extremely knowledgeable bartenders. We came here for pre-dinner drinks and wound up buying tickets for a whiskey class the following night. I explained to the bartender what I like to drink after reading through their extensive menu and he had an excellent cocktail prepared for me in no time. We did not eat here so I cannot comment on the food but I imagine it was outstanding as well. read more

Really cool bar with an amazing drink selection and the most whiskey I've ever seen. The cocktails were really really good, go here for drinks! The food was also very good, though the portions were a little small. I had the Chicken, mushroom, and leek pie, which was very yummy! The service seemed to be lacking just a bit, it wasn't terrible, just didn't seem as warm and welcoming as we have experienced at the rest of the places in Ireland. This place is still very worth going to though for the drink selection alone. read more

A great selection of whiskey and food. Plus, you can buy some of the whiskey's and ship to America. read more

Celtic Whiskey Bar & Larder - If you can not find a whiskey you like here then you have a problem. - Irish Near Me - Killarney, Kentucky

While visiting Killarney was looking for a relaxing place for dinner and decided by chance to try the Celtic Whiskey Bar and Larder. The whiskey selection is amazing and there was a varied beer selection for our non-whiskey friends. The small plates were more than enough for a dinner and the mussels were fabulous. Friends who had the beef, pork, and lamb sliders enjoyed all three. Service was efficient and extremely friendly and not overly intrusive. We loved the decor with the back-lit whiskey bottles giving the room a soft golden glow. Hope to come back to Killarney one day to visit them again. Definitely worth it! read more

They actually have cocktails, which had been hard to find so far. The food was good, but not great. My husband really liked the lamb and fried chicken sliders. We both enjoyed the root chips. My butternut squash dish was decent enough. The service was also great up until we got our dessert. Then our server didn't come back to us for at least 30 minutes or more(most likely 40 minutes, but we weren't timing it). She kept coming up to the table right next to us but avoided eye contact. They even got their check before us even though we had been there for 20 minutes before them. I really have no idea what happened. It takes quite a bit to piss me off as far as service goes, but this really pissed me off. read more

What could be better then 1200 whiskeys and bartenders that know them! Fantastic guided drinking experience tailored to you. Watch your wallet as you can easily spend your annual salary here, but it's worth the experience. And if you're not a whiskey drinker, go for the Muckross Mule. A very tasty drink! read more

Favorite place in Kilarney! We went multiple times throughout our stay. I enjoyed a glass of wine while the boyfriend got to try a variety of Irish whiskeys. Really enjoyed the food and charcutterie! read more

Best charcuterie board I've ever had. Best whiskey selection I've ever seen (not just irish whiskey, all whiskey). Our teacher for the whiskey class was smart and funny. She paired whiskey with cheese, something I never considered possible but it worked! Great location, was a little more modern looking than a pub but it was a cool lay out. My wife even drinks whiskey now...which is good until she starts drinking my whiskey... read more

Everything was amazing! The bartenders were so helpful - I'm not a big whiskey drinker (but when in Ireland!) and they were very knowledgeable and helped me pick a flight that was quite nice. Also had a great long list of gin and tonics, which were refreshing and lovely. We ordered the Old Bay Wings, the Duck and the Lamb and all were phenomenal. Highly recommend!! Lively, fun place as well. read more

Our favorite bar in all of Ireland!! Unreal whiskey selection and knowledgeable servers. Cheese. Lars was a great want to snack while sampling. We went there every night we were in Killarney. read more

What a great spot to try a whisky or 2. They have hundreds there, and the staff are more than happy to make recommendations. The muscles were delicious, and I would definitely head back there again! read more

Excellent experience! The service was spectacular. We loved Luke and his "Kate Collins" - absolutely fabulous version of a Tom Collins. The Blasket was also a great gin drink. The staff is educated on their alcohol, fun, and are very helpful in creating an authentic Irish tasting experience! Cheese and chocolate tastings are a must. Highly recommend trying this bar! read more

Went with my wife and was met with attitude as soon as we entered. Should have know it was going to be a bad experience at that point, but we persevered. The first round of drinks came quickly. The food was good, too, and came out quickly; however, that was about all that was positive. Our waitress disappeared... no worries, went to the bar to place an order for more drinks. 10 minutes later, that fella left and had to reorder.... All in all everyone seemed put out to be working. Seems like it may be a cool place to go during tourist season, but as of now... I'd avoid it. read more

If you like whiskey of ANY kind, and especially if you are an enthusiast, this is a must! If you are within an hour of Killarney, GO! Largest selection of whiskey we've seen btwn the U.S. and Ireland, amazing food, and the most wonderful staff! Thanks to Gary and Caoimhe for you tremendous knowledge of whiskey, your generosity of spirit, and the time you spent with us, and Aaron and Hannah for your enthusiasm and attention as well! We spent 4 out of our 4 evenings there, and would go back in a heartbeat! read more

We visited this location on our tour of Ireland with CIE. Our driver said it was like non-other and it wasn't kidding. The walls are covered with bottles and it is definitely beautiful. Seating is limited since both times we went it was full of people but again I think we enjoyed the atmosphere to much to worry about sitting down. Definitely a must go to spot if you are in Killarney! read more

Whiskey selection was unbelievable! It's one one of the best bars I have been too! The 3 star is for service. It took a while before we got our drinks. Our bartender never checked on us to see if we liked his recommendations.. it was disappointing since we had read all the great reviews before we went there and the only place in Ireland that we had unfriendly service. read more

Great place. Friendly, relaxed, not too crowded, really reasonable prices, tasty nibbles.

Highly recommend this Celtic whiskey bar. Food was phenomenal, wait staff was friendly and helpful, drinks were refreshing and fabulous. Our appetizers and drinks came quickly and were so yummy. However I'd give this place a 5 but we got there at 8:15 and we never received our entrées until 10 o'clock. I think they forgot about us. Although the wait staff was apologetic it was so late in the evening to eat the large entrees we ordered. read more

We had the best time here last night, celebrating our daughter's master's degree. The cocktails and whiskey flights were awesome (we tried the Favorite Irish). Delicious Pint of mussels in white wine, cream and scallion sauce were quickly inhaled, then we tried the filet mignon with peppercorn sauce and double pork chop dinners--both excellent! Finished the night with the game of thrones whiskey which were fun to try and very tasty. Highly recommend place this for a special occasion and some mighty fine whiskey! read more

Great selection of whiskey (and whisky)! Gourmet food selection. Downside: loud, obnoxious dude at the bar drove us out of there, not their fault! read more

Excellent choice of craft beers, whisky and other spirits. The food was fantastic, especially the prawns, sliders and mushrooms on sour bread, exceptional. Friendly service and even included a free dessert for mothers in mothers day. This place is also very relaxing to come and have just a drink at any point in the week. A great addition to the town! Thanks. read more

Such a great spot in the mists of many tourist trap pubs. Service was fantastic! They were excited to explain their whiskeys, and had great food recommendations to pair. Love it! read more

Visited here twice during our stay in Killarney. Didn't plan to order food, but we did the first night. First things first, I came here for the whiskey, so the food just sort of happened. To be quite honest the food was okay, not great. But hey, the whiskey was the real reason we came anyways. And the whiskey did not disappoint. Although the food lacked a bit, the whiskey and the service did enough to merit the 5 stars. The first night was a bit busy, so I stuck to the single pot still flight and a few more selections off the whiskey menu they give you. The second night was slow, so we chatted with Gary and Elaine behind the bar and I got a chance to use Gary's vast knowledge of whiskey to my advantage. I told him what I like and he pulled a few bottles down for me to look over and decide. He did not steer me wrong. Each one I tried was completely different, but fit within my taste preference. The wife is s not a fan of whiskey at all, but this did not affect her experience here at all. Turns out Gary is also quite the mixologist and turned out a couple drinks my wife really enjoyed. Thanks Gary and Elaine for the drinks and friendly conversation. read more

Stopped in after fish and chips for a hot whiskey, while the hubby tried a local Irish whiskey. Great service and suggestions! read more

We were lucky to find this wonderful surprise. All women vacation for 4 days, most restaurants had mainly the same menu. Not this one. It was amazing. Being from NYC area we know fine dining and this was the place without the NYC prices. You know the chef put every effort into her menu, besides having every whiskey, scotch gin, etc. Don't miss this place! read more

Best food ever!! Had an amazing toasted sandwich. Will be back for Whiskey. Staff amazing.
