John M. Reidy’s is a Killarney institution. This Irish pub, whose origins date back to 1870, is still in business today, welcoming locals and travelers alike every day to enjoy a cold pint and some live Irish music. A magical, festive place where you can enjoy a moment of pure conviviality!
If Reidy’s is so popular, it’s first and foremost because it’s a real piece of history in its own right. Founded in the 1870s, the establishment was originally a grocery-bar, efficiently supplying Killarney town center.
Over time, the address has been handed down from generation to generation, right up to the present day.
The result is an Irish pub with a warm, authentic atmosphere!
Reidy’s regularly hosts concerts by local bands in the pub, so you can sip your drink to a lively, 100% Irish soundtrack!
The decor is as trady as you could wish, and you’ll feel right at home. A big plus: Reidy’s also has the advantage of a terrace area: the place is often crowded in summer, and welcomes a local and foreign clientele where people mix and chat easily in a good-natured atmosphere.
On the menu, the pub specializes in cocktails, but also offers a wide selection of typically Irish drinks (whiskey beers, etc.).
It’s also possible to eat in: here again, Reidy’s is all about simplicity and conviviality. Their must-try items include chicken wings, fish and chips, chicken burgers and green curry chicken.
The dishes are very good, and come from many cultures: Anglo-Saxon as well as more exotic with a few Thai-influenced dishes.
Prices range from €12 to €18 for a dish without drinks. A fair price to fill you up between 2 explorations of Killarney’s surroundings.
