It's popular and oftentimes there is a line to get a table. The staff does their best to seat guests as soon as possible. Note the closing time of 8pm is firm, so be sure to arrive before that. Staff is kind but due to the busyness of the restaurant, service can be scattered or slow, so remember, you're on vacation. Wine and beer available. Parking can be difficult in the area. Allow time to find parking, if you're driving.

My husband and I had a fabulous dinner at Murphy's Restaurant in Castletownbere. We started with an…read moreexcellent prawns and chorizo appetizer and then had the duck dinner and the leg of lamb dinner. We finished with the pavlova. Each dinner had plentiful sides of potatoes, carrots, green beans, parsnips and red cabbage. Everything was fresh, abundant and delicious. The service was very good. We had a lovely chat with the 3rd generation chef/owner who not only cooked a great meal but also made some nice recommendations for our trip. We very highly recommend Murphy's Restaurant to everyone coming to the Beara Peninsula.

The Lamb roast and stuffing was better then average. Very generous portions of food. Service was very good, friendly and welcoming.

While waiting in line at the Frantic Chef, I googled this place and a few more, it was only a 3 minute walk. We ordered fish and chips and the seafood chowder. The chowder and zero flavor, but was packed with fresh fish. The fish and chips were awesome, fresh as usual in Ireland, but very light and flaky, a top 3 for us. They were able to get us in and out, but we had to ask 3 times for water, and it was unseasonably warm. The decor was combo Irish pub/ Nautical.

We decided to pop in for a quick drink and some oysters, since it is their namesake. Upon entering,…read morewe were asked if we had a reservation, which we had not but were fine being turned away if they were just too busy to seat us. They did seat us at one of their high top tables, which we were very grateful for. Our drinks came out quickly despite a very crowded bar area with many locals chatting away. When the oysters came out, we noticed that they were not cold to the touch. In fact, they were pretty warm, which kind of alarmed us. After trying a few, we decided to just stop eating them because we didn't want to get sick. We happily paid for everything without a complaint, but I will caution those who come by for fresh, raw oysters. Service was great despite a busy afternoon and the not so great oysters, so I can't fault them too much for one appetizer. I'm sure their other dishes are great.

Stopped here based on the reviews and we were sadly disappointed…read more We were very excited because the building itself is beautiful. The ambiance is great and exactly what you would expect. But that's where the positive reviews end. First off, the waitress seemed put off she had to wait on us. Additionally, the place was freezing and we had to keep our coats on, it was almost as if the place had no heat. Everyone dining there had their winter coats on while dining. The menu was all over the place with no consistent theme. The food was okay. It wasn't terrible- but it wasn't anything we were excited to finish. Overall, the best part is the aesthetics on the outside of the building.

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.
