My mom, two brothers and I spent two nights at Larkin’s b&b. On the first evening, we spend the night playing cards at a table in the pub while the Chelsea game played. To our pleasant surprise, once the game concluded, a group of musicians...pulled out authentic Irish instruments and began playing with one another. Two women took turns singing the different Irish tunes as the pub quietly listened. Our card game ceased as we listened in awe. The owner, Mike, told us that we had stumbled on a special occasion as this group only plays on Wednesday’s. I’d say the word ‘special’ is an understatement. It was magical.
In the morning, the staff served us a delicious authentic Irish breakfast and spoke with us about everything and were particularly helpful with recommending things to do as we continue across Ireland.
Though we were out in Dingle the next night, the next morning we experienced the same hospitality during breakfast and were even gifted an unused piece of Guinness ‘bar merchandise’ as one of my brothers was looking for something Guinness but was unsatisfied with what he saw in the shops. The staff kindly offered us something they were not using.
I highly recommend Larkins. The atmosphere and hospitality is excellent. We will definitely be back.More
