Agree. Much better places in town with better value. They are charging top restaurant prices for bar food. You're spoilt for choice in Killarney anyway. Don't worry about reviews, just walk around and see what catches your eye

If Scotts have an outdoor screen set up go there, they have a great outdoor area which is ideal in this weather. Alternativley you can try McSorelys bar, The Kube or the Plaza.

Yep. I agree with that. Scotts for the 5pm game and I would def go to Mcsorleys for the 8 and 11 kick offs. Always a good atmosphere in the back bar and a huge screen.

Hi all, can anybody recommend a good place for overnight parking in the middle of town? Reasonable if possible?

You can park overnight in any car park in town for free. Traffic wardens work 9am-6pm so you have to pay between those hours. Obviously parking is at your own risk but I have left the car several times after having a drink and nothing ever happened.

Do they work Sundays this time of year? Looking for tomorrow night and probably won't be back to the car until 12 on Sunday

No you're grand so. That's a common occurence on Saturday nights. Car parks would be full until Sunday afternoon

Parking is free on Sundays in Killarney. Parking is always free in the Cathedral car park. Parking is always free after 6:30 pm everyday.

Lads what time is the fairground in town open from? Can't get info from google

madcabbage

You mean Birds Bazaar or the playground near the park? If it's Birds, they tend to open from 5/6pm onwards. You won't find any info online as far as I'm aware.

I live in the town centre and can't even get a signal on any of my devices. Also the password thing doesn't help. Would save me a fortune if I could log onto it :pac:

Madman2

Use it all the time although the signal is rubbish and really not worth using, better off using one of the shops wifi considering about 25-30% of them have free wifi now, most cafe's ice cream parlours , outlet centre, mcdonalds plus many more in town all have free wifi now:)

I would say Linehans for the racing and McSorleys just next door for the footy. 3 drinks for €10 while the games are on, a huge screen and always a little crowd watching so a good atmosphere.

Also, sandwiched between Linehans and McSorleys is a Ladbrokes to place bets. And a few chippers/restaurants just across the road. Perfect location.

Anyone know what's the craic with the 4th of July American celebrations? I've seen a few posters and things for it but very little info. From what I have seen it does sound like a laugh.

I was up Torc this lunchtime with the family unit. View from the top was spectacular. Good job with the railway sleepers too.

siblers

So this is a super exciting question but does anyone know if any of the butchers in town do turkey mince? I knows Tescos do, but it's a bit on the expensive side.

shortstuff!

Can anyone recommend somewhere in Killarney to get my hair blowdryed & pedi/manicure that might have appointments free this Saturday, pref the same place if possible?

Fiancé is doing the cycle so I'm trying to fill my day, any other suggestions for things to do welcome, 34weeks pregnant so nothing too wild!!

Aimeee

The Plaza hotel, right in town has a lovely spa, very relaxed. I was treated to a fabulous day there a while ago. Right in town too so you'll be able to meet fiancé easily when he finishes. Lunch upstairs in hotel, lunch was included in the package I had.
See the website for offers or ring and specify your wants see what they can offer.
Don't be put off by location, once you're in there you have no idea your right in town.
Enjoy!

If you are lunching upstairs you'll have great view of cyclists coming in (if they finish in town?? I cannot remember where they finish this year).

How long does it take/what is the walking distance from Galway Bridge to Lord Brandon's cottage? I saw 2 hours mentioned somewhere but I am unsure if this is one-way or return. Thank you.
