Killarney Valley Athletic Club

siblers

They have 5km park runs every Saturday in the national park, if you message their Facebook page, you'll probably get further information

There was a massive tailback there today with all the beach goers on the way to Rossbay

Recommend me a 30-50k cycle from town out muckross road - I believe there is a cycle around one of the lakes out that way?? Are there cycle tracks out to muckross house? Any info appreciated.

I haven't seen any birds around my place today. Normally there'd be crows flying around the trees and rooftops, but not a sign of one today. I also usually have blackbirds and sparrows around the back area, yet there is nary a one today. Does anyone have any ideas why that happens? There were blackbirds singing a dusk yesterday. I'm not worried - I know that they'll be back, but just curious as to where they go and why.

Mikes

Depends what you're looking for.

Snack Box - Den Joe's.

Taco Fries or burgers - Mikes

Fish n chips or Pizza - Allegro

Personally Allegro is my favourite.

Actually there's a place down Chapel lane on New street does a grand kebab. Called Kebab Inn.

Definitely the best Chinese in town but far from the best chipper due to lack of chipper food :pac:

This weekend

Any idea whats happening to the place?

Never liked Scruffys. I wonder what they'll do to it. I can see it being turned into something like the Lane Bar. Although I heard they were going to do up the Kube too, another bar I can't stand!

I don't know. Would be a shame to see a space like that empty in a good location. Could maybe extend the hotel reception area. Wouldn't see the point in another cocktail type bar in town. Plenty choice already

Where's the choices for cocktail type bar?

The lane I know. Not sure of others

The lane. The Kube. The Plaza. That place in the Grand upstairs. Isn't there a new wine/cocktail type bar in the place behind the Glebe car park, near the Mexican restaurant. I think I saw on Facebook during the week that mcsorleys have started to do cocktails but I'd be sceptical of getting one there.

dobman88

I think Porterhouse does cocktails too. Vague memory of seeing them on the menu the one time I ate there

Lia_lia

Yes, both the Kube and the Plaza serve cocktails (spent 5 years working in both places making the feckin things..those were the days!) but the Ross have a classier and older crowd. Unless all has changed in Killarney in the past few years. I rarely go out when I'm home.

Never been to the grand cocktail bar before. Mustangs (ugh) had a cocktail bar, dunno if it's sill there. The one on the glebe lane is Curious Cat, a wine bar. It's fab actually, would recommend it. Lovely food too.

dobman88

Seems that scruffys won't be closing at all. Apparently the rumours going around the last few weeks were just rumours after all. They've also delete the "closing event" on Facebook. Suppose we'll see after the weekend.

It's East Avenue Road. Not the hotel. It's at the pedestrian crossing across from the outlet centre.

4.30am, 6.30, 7.30, 9.30, 11.30, 14.30, 16.30, 18.30.

Used it on the last bank holiday weekend and everything ran perfectly

Seems like the Garda crackdown has helped reduce the amount of idiots in the town over Rally weekend.
Well done to them and the motor club.
