This was a great pub...the only place not crawling with tourists, except for the guy who was sitting next to me and we ended up becoming buddy's. The food is great, the people are great too!!! I will go back again for dinner this time i go. More

John Benny's has the best food in Dingle! I stop in every time I am in Dingle! Also, find out when music is playing! They have irish music several nights a week! If the owner's wife is singing, she's a must see! Amazing voice!! More

We went for lunch over Christmas. The menu was very poor and the food was far from great. The lady who served us was lovely but there was a couple behind the bar who I can only assume were the owners who were far from welcoming. We definitely won't be going back. More

stopped into this great pub on a Saturday afternoon in Noember, 2011 - beautiful Irish pub and without a doubt, the best Sheppard's Pie during our two week visit - looking forward to a return to Dingle and John Benny's! More

Dingle is so sweet and quaint, and walking in to John Benny's is like walking into a friend's place. The staff was so friendly and attentive. They have the best shepard's pie i've ever had. It was bubbling hot and the gravy was a bit carmelized, which gave it this amazing flavor. If you are in Dingle, don't miss the... More

My husband and I along with close friends spent 3 nights in John Benny's self catering cottage "The Mews". It's a lovely place to stay with two bedrooms upstairs, and the kitchen and living room on the main floor. Loved the fireplace as the peat fires kept us cozy and warm on a couple of blustery days. I'd highly recommend... More
