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.

was given a tip to visit Jack C’ in May of 22, stopped for a few pints and instantly knew that I would be back if ever in Killarney again.Upon my return in September of 24 Jack’s was my first stop. The Barman Ian recognized me immediately and we were made to feel at home. While enjoying the cozy atmosphere and chatting with the locals we got a lot of helpful tips to make our trip more enjoyable. We returned 3 nights in a row by which time we were treated like family. Joan,JC,Ian and Ginny are all great ambassadors for Ireland and Killarney in particular. For a great Pint of Guinness and some good craic Jack’s is a must visit. Tell them “ The lads sent you

I actually thought I had reviewed on another trip, because I always come here to visit Joan and Jenny for sure!
Small family owned pub, in the same family for 150 years! It’s quite here, usually only locals who all know each other. Stop by, have the best pint in town, relax, and if you are American, try to understand what’s being said!
I love the Irish, I love Joan, and I love Jenny!

Just had a wonderful experience at Jack Cs bar. The family who owned the bar was so nice and friendly including Ginny, the bar dog. It’s a small bar with about 5 tables and same number of bar stools. Perfect for an intimate experience in Ireland. We would definitely want to come back again if we return to Ireland.

I popped in here while my partner explored the high street shops to enjoy a pint of Guinesss.
I was greeted with a really friendly welcome , and served with well kept Guiness.
This pub is run by several generations of the same family, who all joined in conversation.
I enjoyed it so much I returned with my partner for a longer stay, who was also made to feel most welcome.
Do try it

We were attracted to this gorgeous little bar as soon as we saw the friendly locals. We had a great night with Seamus & Tim and enjoyed the hospitality of the lovely female publican. Hope to get here again someday from Australia. We loved Killarney and all it had to offer x

had a holiday in Killarney a couple of weeks ago and was made feel very welcome in Jack C's. Their little Ginny the dog was a great attraction and Joan ensured you were looked after.

Best pub ever! Five stools, open since 1901, 5th Generation owner. Served by Joan who was truly the friendliest person we met in Ireland which is saying something! This is the quintessential Irish pub experience. You will leave having made new friends with everyone there, owners and other patrons alike. If you miss this place then you missed Ireland!

We loved visiting here on our travels. The bar keep was friendly and helpful in telling us what to see and do in the area. We enjoyed being in the community. It is a small space to those used to larger American style bars so be prepared to stand. After driving all day, it was a welcome time to stretch my legs.

Honestly I am not sure. I never saw any animals in any of the pubs or places we visited in Ireland. Sorry I wasn't any help!
