    Great evening at the Taproom
    We loved the Taproom Bar on Muckross Road, it was so cool and modern. Jonathon and Patrick both made us feel very comfortable, Patrick was serving us that evening and he was full of Irish wit, we had great craic with him. Myself and my husband both had a pizzas, they we huge and delicious, we had the Killarney Blonde lager which was really good too. When we were ready to go Patrick called us a taxi and it turned up really quickly. We both thoroughly enjoyed our evening and would highly recommend the Taproom and will def be back next time we are down that way.
    Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a great review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your visit to our Taproom. We will be sure to pass on your compliments to Patrick & Jonathan and we look forward to welcoming you back again soon.

    Great spot.
    Called in on a Thursday night with the family. Even though I'm from Killarney, it was my first time. Fabulous place. Food was fantastic and the beers was great. The staff were great too. It was quiet when we left but I'll be heading back here again, the next time I'm heading out.
    Hi Kevin, thank you for taking the time to leave us such a great 5-star review. We are looking forward to welcoming you back again soon!

    Exceptional food, outstanding beer and superb service!!
    We recently our partner’s birthdays at this fantastic taproom and it was an incredible experience! The pizzas were outstanding-fresh, cooked to order and bursting with flavour. Each bit was a delight. The draft beer selection was equally impressive with a variety of refreshing options to choose from. All the staff were professional and attentive, adding to the overall excellent atmosphere. Worth a visit for anyone looking to enjoy delicious pizzas and Irish beer!!!

    Pizza and beer…both done well!
    Superb experience - great buzz, really good beers and high quality pizzas. If you don’t like pizza or beer probably not for you. Otherwise it’s a must! Plenty of space for a buggy. Staff super friendly and walking distance from town.
    Thank you for your 5-star review, we're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your visit to our Taproom!

We discovered this place with my friend, we were not disappointed at all. I really recommend to have a pizza and a beer. To be honest the pizzas are a bit expensive but with a beer it becomes very affordable. You will discover truly wood fire pizzas in this place.
Feel free to sit outside to take advantage of the mountains view !

Seriously, €16 for an A4 size pizza? And we have asked to substitute two ingredients with another two which they had, and they have substituted one fine, but charged extra for the other one, which we didn't know until seeing the receipt. On the brighter side, the place got an atmosphere, with all the vats exposed. But for a dinner I would go some place else

This place was great, the chefs knew what they're doing, even helped with recommendations. The pizza was amazing and the minute we're back in Killarney we're heading over for more. We tried several of the beers and all of them were great, depends on your personal tastes but the Blond was our favourite. Gavin was really great at service, had a very friendly and pleasant attitude and knowledge. Overall a great place to spend time at.

We like craft breweries, so this was on our list. Due to COVID, you have to be seated at all times to get service, so it is likely to get full. Waited about 10 minutes for a table and then the server took our orders 10 minutes later.
Ordered only beer, and both selections of Irish Red Ale and the Belgian Dark Ale were good despite the latter having a "Christmas" name on it.
It did take a while to get our other beer orders, so make sure the servers can see you to get their attention.
There's a merchandise shop next to it. They also serve food, but we didn't try it.

Gorgeous pizzas, fabulous beers, superb service & dog friendly!
Couldn't recommend this place highly enough!
We dropped by on a Sunday evening at 6pm and were given a table in the beer garden. Our beer order was delivered promptly and the pizzas soon after.
The goat's cheese pizza and the blonde beer are a great combo!

A must visit if you are in the area, or even better make it a reason to go to Kilarney. We booked the distilley is fossa for a friends 30th birthday and we were not disapointed, from the minute you enter the building you can see the work that has gone into creating such an amazing facilty. We made it upstairs and were seated at a table near the window. The views are out of this world and create the perfect backdrop for a lunch or dinner. We got lucky and it was a sunny day. The staff are fantastic and really make the experience even better, so attentive. They had our water filled without even asking. They kindly prepared a birthday dessert for our friend and sang haopy birthday to her , which was so lovely of them. The chicken wings may just be the best I have had in Ireland in many years. The food is fresh and tasty and complimented by the wonderful craft beer. Killarney is full of wonderful places to eat , but I would put the Distilery at the top of the list, I look forward to returning again and having a tour followed by more wonderful food.

Welcoming staff and great service. You cannot book ahead, but we were seated straight away. I loved the blonde beer and Mediterranean pizza.

It’s a good option for fast, decent food and a cold beer after a day of cycling or exploring. The outdoor area is ideal!

Tours aren’t running now, only the restaurant. Staff wore masks, bathrooms were clean, hand sanitizer was available and there was distance between tables.

Not worth it. Yhe food is good, but the service is very bad. Only one of the waitresses is attentive and kind. Part of our order was forgotten, when we changed tables because of the rain, the manager seemed not to like it and ignored our order for the dessert menu, which was brought after he noticed his forgetfulness. We decided to give up and leave. Certainly, the Fossa unit is not a place to return.
