Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Fantastic old traditional pub in Killarney. Peat burning in the fireplace. Ian Gorman and Flo, the bartenders couldn’t have been nicer or more inviting. Definitely a must visit.

Friendly staff and customers. Great whiskey selection. Bartender had great recommendation for a round of shots. Nice atmosphere and right in heart of Killarney. Enjoyed our time there.

The trio of guitar mandolin bohdran/vocals had the best repertoire of any group we heard on our trip. Even a slip jig (try counting it.) They play a lot but don't seem tired. Tight quarters but worth it.

Great pints and music! This is a gem of pub in the centre of Killarney town. Really enjoyed the music and the atmosphere was very chilled. Staff friendly but could definitely see they were under pressure like most places, so fair play guys.

Sat outside (during covid) and had a boy come out to our table all night and look after us with drinks (Fiachra). Really good service with lots of choice of drinks. We payed after every round which worked well. The atmosphere on the street was fantastic with a busker playing his guitar just beside us. Couldn’t have worked out better x

Spent a couple of nights having drinks in Courtneys during our stay in Killarney. Due to Covid restrictions, there was only outdoor seating available. Staff were friendly, helpful and overall provided a very good service.
