Murphy’s

Great place and the staff couldn’t be friendlier. Excellent location in town. Guinness stew, fish and chips, and cottage pie were all really good. I would highly recommend.

Nice place! Food was pretty good. A little on the pricey side. Great atmosphere. Killarney is a fun town to go out.

The beef and Guinness was delicious, and the beef lasagna… Amazing. Highly recommend it with a pint of murphys or Guinness. Nice atmosphere with police and fire patches posted behind the bar.

Good place with decent food. Service is great and atmosphere is traditional irish.

Good pub fare of traditional dishes. Friendly atmosphere and great service. Great for anytime of day for casual pub food.

Great pub with Great music at night, a fancy restaurant upstairs and hotel rooms above that!
Murphys pretty much has it all! And at night they had bands that played the most traditional Irish music in Killarney that we found.
The bar was warm, cozy and the service staff was amazing!
Dinner at Lord Kenmares (the fancy restaurant upstairs) was GREAT!!! We ordered steaks as we were told thats a great Irish cuisine and they were perfectly cooked. The flavor was out of this world and the service was excellent as well. It was a little pricey but, it is kinda fancy so thats to be expected.
The hotel rooms are on the 2^nd floor (above the resturant) and no noise from the bar was heard. The room was a bit cold and when we tried to heat up via the furnace, we discovered the furnace loudly screeched so… we dealt with the cold and turned that furnace back off LOL. The bed was comfortable but the pillows were hard, flat and lifeless. Other than that our stay was fabulous!
Murphys is situated on the main drag in Killarney which is really close to the Ring of Kerry (which we drove part of the next day). There are tons of shopping, eating and bar options within a stones throw of Murphys and a parking lot accross the street.
The front desk staff is very friendly and even helped us plan our journey for the next day!
Thank You Murphys!!!

After a long day on the Ring Of Fire tour, we were more than ready to sit down to a good drink and some pub grub. Our tour guide suggested Murphys Bar, and we were not disappointed! The beer and drinks were great, the traditional pub food was wonderful (Irish Stew and Fish and Chips), and the entire wait staff, especially Carolyn (sp?), were absolutely running around the busy establishment keeping everyone happy. There was a Rugby final on the telly, so there was quite the frenetic pace happening. In all, we would definitely go back!

If you want a great, fun& quality pub experience go to Murphy’s in Killarney. My girlfriend, numerous friends and I just spent 12 days in southern Ireland and Murphy’s was the absolute best of the many, many pubs we visited. Even better than a couple of the «world famous» pubs in Dublin.
Katherine, the bartender, set the pace. Excellent service, friendly staff and patrons, wonderful live music. The pub food they served was fresh with top quality ingredients and prep. The bar had great a fantastic selection of all liquor types, local and global.
Just a great experience on all levels.

Stopped in here for our first pint upon arriving in Killarney. I had the lasagna and my husband had the steak and Guinness casserole. Both were very tasty, washed down with a couple good pints. Cozy, homey place with friendly people behind the bar.

Stopped by after our Torc Waterfall hike. Parked in a paid lot behind College St.
Had the Traditional Irish stew with lamb potatoes and carrots. Not gamey at all and comforting in the cold weather. Husband had the chili con carne and was very happy.
Service was great at about 1p on a Friday afternoon. Our bartender allowed us to try a sip of Ireland’s red lemonade and even allowed us to purchase a bottle of it from them.
Comforting food and great staff. Can’t beat that!

Seems like a homey place with a lot of regulars. There’s a dart league that meets there, lots of corners for privacy, and the food was hearty and yummy!
Food is excellent and great price.
Service is quick and friendly.
Bathrooms are okay.

Nice pub, nice atmosphere, lots of beer brands, excellent food, very friendly staff!
We were here on a saturday evening and the live music started 9.45pm, so we could finish our dinner and listen to the traditional Irish music afterwards. Very nice evening!

This should really be listed as a bar though they do have an excellent hotel as well as I hear.
The ambiance of the bar is really what makes the place. It’s a traditional Irish place and it’s quite brilliant. It is one of the top pubs in Ireland as I heard before coming here and as recommended by my hostel (Neptunes hostel).
I came in early in the day because I missed the ring of Kerry tour (leaves at 11 from the tourist office in town) and tried some of the food and a pint of Murphy’s. Both were really great.
The whole town is pretty expensive (for a college student) and their prices are normal for the town.

We stayed at the hotel portion of Murphy’s. It was one of the smaller rooms I’ve been in and the bathroom was tiny. The wifi worked pretty well.
We ate dinner in the upstairs restaurant twice and both time the dinners were excellent. Their steak was delicious and their desserts looked and tasted like a 5 star restaurant. We drank in their classic Irish pub and had a great time.
We ate breakfast down in the pub on two mornings and that was good.
I don’t know if I would stay here again but I would definitely eat and drink here again.

A lovely rustic little bar and eatery. The menu is full of Irish comfort foods like bacon and cabbage, lamb stew, fish and chips etc etc. The portions are large and the price not too bad for a tourist town. live traditional Irish music every night really sets the scene for a great evening of food, drink, song and dance. The staff are friendly and the beer is good. A true taste of Ireland

Food/​Cost: (4) I came here with my traveling companion for an early dinner last Saturday night, while looking for some traditional Irish fare. The front desk staff member at our hotel had recommended Murphy’s and I’m happy we took his advice. Both my friend and I ordered the Irish Stew (13.50 euros) which came with the traditional side of brown bread. The stew was thick and hearty — superb. There was plenty of lamb meat and carrot chunks in the stew, served over mashed potatoes underneath. The portion was quite large as well; despite how amazing both the stew and bread it tasted, I could not finish some of the lamb and half the bread. I felt that my dinner justified the price.
Ambiance: (5) I liked the traditional pub décor and atmosphere: the hum of conversation was loud, but not overly so; everyone was bustling around and there seemed to be activity from both patrons and restaurant staff alike; the place was dimly lit like a pub should be; and it was clean and respectable.
Location: (5) Murphy’s is located in the middle of one of the main streets in Killarney, College Street. Accordingly, its in a well lit and bustling area regardless of the time of night.
Service: (3.5) Both Murphy’s and it’s sister bar/​restaurant were full when we first arrived, but we got a table about 15 minutes later, which isn’t too bad of a wait, even for impatient people like myself. However, after we were seated, there was no waitress to be found, and we (along with the table next to us) had to wave a waitress down to place our orders. A different waiter brought us our food and came to check on us once throughout our meal. He seemed nice enough, but was very quiet.
Overall: (4) Murphy’s has the total package. They have great food, a likely atmosphere, and is located an easy walk from many of the hotels in Killarney. The service wasn’t spectacular but it was decent, and I’m not willing to discount this restaurant just because of it.

Nice Bar&Restaurant. Huge beer choices :-)
Try the «Original Irish Stew», delicious!
