No one goes thirsty in Killarney – for beautiful landscapes or Guinness!
Colourful hotels and pubs in Killarney
Killarney is the tourist capital of Kerry, and the second most popular tourist destination in Ireland. World famous for its national park and lakes, Killarney is also rich in historical houses, castles and monuments. Some of its attractions include Muckross House, Ross Castle, Muckross Abbey and Inisfallen Island with its monastic ruins.
Colourful pub
Killarney town itself is a hub of activity, with many colourful hotels, restaurants, shops and pubs. As we explored this quaint town, what stood out was the number of pubs in this little place. No one goes thirsty in Killarney as pubs abound.
Food is also easy to find in Killarney as most pubs and hotels usually serve food at the bar during the day. Cafes and restaurants can be found on virtually every street in the town and as we walked around, the smell of freshly baked bread wafted out from a bread shop, triggering some hunger pangs.
Gaby's Restaurant
We searched out Gaby’s Restaurant as we had read that it was the best seafood restaurant in town. Its interior incorporates seafaring memorabilia and the menu was interesting, but a touch pricey.
The Flesk Restaurant
We also checked out The Flesk Restaurant, which specializes in seafood and is apparently very popular with American visitors. Its drawcard – hearty meals at reasonable prices.
Killarney is pleasant town to be in and an ideal base for touring West Cork, the Ring of Kerry, Dingle and Tralee. I thoroughly enjoyed our stop here.
