If you're looking for a true Irish pub experience in Doolin, this is it…read more It's a typical, unassuming pub that fills up quickly with both locals and tourists, creating that perfect lively Irish atmosphere. The service was incredibly attentive and welcoming. The fish and chips? Hands down the BEST I've ever had -- perfectly crisp on the outside, flaky and tender inside. And the seafood chowder was beyond words. Rich, flavorful, and packed with seafood. Of course, the beer was fresh and delicious, just as it should be. An awesome, cozy spot that delivers on everything you hope for in a great Irish pub. We'll be back.

A true Irish Pub experience, bravo!…read more Our tour guide/ bus driver chose this location for us and gloated on how they have the best fish and chips in all Ireland here, as you can expect I was pretty eager to get on and try them. The fish and chips did not disappoint and the portion size was very generous. If I had to pick a flaw I suppose I would mention the size of the container of the tartar sauce that comes with the meal is very small, about three smears worth. Also, omg, look at the chips! Those are some unique shaped chips, at first I thought they were potato chips that were fried but no, they were French fries that looked like a potato chip. We stopped here after visiting the cliffs of Moher, the restaurant is located in Doolin County, which I believe has a cave you can visit if you want to get some more adventures in after a great meal at a terrific authentic Irish Pub. As always people SYOY!!!

I have been going to Baily's Corner since i was just a little tot. It has moved from where it was…read morewhen i was growing up, but it never lost it's sense of intimacy. It is a hidden gem in the hub of Tralee town centre. It is primarily a pub, but during the day it does soup, sandwiches and a few main courses. The sandwiches are whopper. Made fresh everyday and will make you come back time and time again, especially the chicken tikka! Garry, the owner, is, without a doubt, one of the best hosts that I've ever seen in action. He never forgets a face, and although i only go to Tralee on holidays once or twice a year, he always remembers me! Not only is it a lovely place to enjoy a quiet cup of coffee during the day, at night it is a buzzing little spot, with live music at the weekends, it is always jointed with people! I would recommend anybody visiting Tralee to pop in, even if it is just for a coffee, you wont be sorry!

I'll sometimes make a trip to Kilrush (from our holiday home in Kilmihil) with my sisters Cathleen and Pat, just to have a bowl of chowder (chef Ian, I believe), Ginny is warm and welcoming as is the rest of the crew. The Crab Cakes are so good, as are the Shepherds Pie, White Fish, Medallions of Pork, Bergers, and Steak (with mashed turnips!). The room(s) are toasty and well-appointed. Save room for dessert and an Irish Coffee!

First, please allow me to state I don't write that many reviews. I tend to think, albeit quite…read morecynically, many (most?) reviews are written by people who have an ax to grind or think they have to be gregariously generous with their positive review. So, to be clear, I have nothing to gain from this review. *whew* Now that that's out of the way... You know that bar/restaurant/coffee shop/whatever you go to regularly and often, and have for years, because the people who work there are genuine and amazing and personable as all get out? The food is always fresh and fantastic and you just look forward to the great experience you just know you're going to have because of how they treat you and the food they serve? Kelly's is that place. Our group of four stopped by last week during our trip of Southern Ireland. We were there for a mid-afternoon lunch/dinner and more or less had the place to ourselves. We were immediately seated and greeted by a friendly and engaging young woman named Joanne. After just a few minutes of chatting with her and perusing the menu we all felt like she was an old friend we'd known a while. Two of us had wanted the Shepard's Pie and she told us there wasn't any available yet and just as we were about to order something else she beamed that it had just come up and we could order it, which we did. The other two in our group ordered hamburgers. Our meals were swiftly served and... just wow. WOW! I'm no connoisseur of Shepard's Pie but if there's a better one out there I'll never find it. It was simply stellar. The hamburgers were also incredible. We learned, quickly, Irish food is usually served unseasoned or seasoned very little and it's up to the person eating to season it to their taste. Both the ladies in our group added a little salt to their burgers and fries and said their fresh burgers were awesome. The owner, Ginny, came out and joined our conversation. We learned she was from the states and she told us some about her experiences in Ireland. All in all, it was just a super nice visit and meal. We all wished we could visit again soon. If you're in the area, and you can make the time, please do yourself a favor and swing by. I can't imagine how you could possibly be disappointed and you certainly won't leave hungry!

There was NO fire escape. Only 1 way down from 3 floor level !!! When returning to our room later we couldn't get into our room due to issues with the key . 18 mins later a stranger helped us. She did not reply to our calls for help. No curtains on windows only blinds that did not fit windows properly. Difficult sleeping due to bright outside light in the square. This place should not have been opened due to problems and absolutely safety issues. We are going to contact the local council, tourist board & the Garda Also NO BREAKFAST

I admit to being very excited about the prospect of seeing them perform and expressed this by shouting out when I saw them! After about 30minutes waiting at the bar for the backroom to open I was unfortunate enough to have my drink spilled on me by a fellow bar user. I then slipped on the spilled drink and was saved by my loyal companion Wendy and a bar staff member from hitting my head on the floor. Shortly after the fall I was told I had to leave but no explanation was given. I returned there today but was not given an explanation for their actions. I could say all kinds of subjective opinions about their actions but I will stick to the facts, I was asked to leave because I fell on a drink that was spilled upon me. It feels very unfair. Across the road in another pub the customers and staff went to great lengths to reassure me that this is the way of the Greyhound bar. They do not respect their customers and they were rude uncaring and they have no rights to serve alcohol if they don't want their customers to enjoy it.
