Any good pubs in Tralee?

Darab

It's going to be my first time going out in my native Tralee (don't ask) and was wondering was there any good pubs (Fabric doesn't really interest me). I'm into rock if that makes it any easier

force majeure

In my day it was always the Abby Inn, now days I cant be sure as its not my thing any more.

very few pubs do live music, but sean ogs is usually good. Baileys corner is cosy, and willie darcys good for smokers.

My absolute favourite pub in Tralee is The Osborne... and if you like rock.. then you will like it there!!

The irony here is that Fabric is one of the only places that have regular rock bands.

You are showing you age there force majeure, not much happening music wise in there these days. It an unwritten rule in town that you only go there when you don't have any other option (i.e. after 00.30)
Plus at the weekend the you won't be able to tell the crowd in the abbey from fabric.

The Oz has the best jukebox in town.
Sean ogs has music 6 nights a week but usually folk and trad and its really good
The Abbey on thursdays....late
Baileys on a monday friday and sat night but thats acoustic stuff
The Greyhound has a good selection and the beer is cheapish
nowhere else really comes to mind

Wow! Other Osb fans!! Do you go there regularly? ... If ya do, we prob know each other in IRL

+1 for the OZ,

Although it is alway full of mad heads, I find them way more predictable and hospitable that the clientèle of many other pubs in town.

Downside is that the Jukebox is often waaay to loud !

Ask nicely and the lads will turn it down. I love the staff and the regulars (of which I'm one lol)... Nicely put manover...

sheesh

yeah used to go to the osbourne alot brilliant duke box

reasonably good band in the blasket on saturday nights

The best pub in Tralee without a shadow of a doubt is Barrett's on the top of Rock Street.

It's there alright, just up a door or two from Linnane's. I joke though, it's an awful spot. Used be a good place for getting take away cans as young fellas! probably still is.

there are many good pubs in tralee catering for lots of different tastes. The range is quite good from ,,traditional irish,, with music to suit the tourist/local trade to more modern mainstrem superpubs with live good local bands. at last count there is over 40 plus public houses in tralee.Hard to pick out anyone particular pub as my favorite Willie darcys alas is no longer finding a replacement proveing diffuclt.

I'll be in Tralee for a few hours on Wednesday. Are there any pubs in the centre that don't have loud piped music?

An Cearnog doesn't have loud music, would be a nice bar to sit & relax in. There's an outdoor seating area too.

Hurry up tho, we are running out of pubs by the week!

Baily's Corner doesn't, if it does I've never noticed anyway!

There are a few good pubs at the moment while they are still around, Hennessey's, The Baileys Corner, Benner's, Stockers Lodge and the Blasket. Ruarai's and Harty's were good but have since closed down. Fabric is to be closing down if not closed down already. I hear the Abbey Inn isn't too bad a spot to venture. Depends on what music you really into. Sean Og's and kirbys good too. Not too sure about the Mall though.

Try the greyhound bar, not too bad.

Well for a first timer then you cant go wrong with Linnanes,then stagger down into The Rock Inn,make your way in for a quick kebab and head for the Four Seasons then end up at the end of the night in the creme de la creme of night spots The Sportsfield bar

Are we talking the old Abbey? "Big bag of sticks" Cant see your hand in front of you because of all the smoke and probably cause you dropped something that aint coming up the best. Thems were the days

I think An Teach beag is horrible. It's a complete rip off of Sean ogs almost down to the pictures on the wall and it's usually jammers for some reason.

Jaysus, you're a glutton for punishment

If I was living in boherbee the sports field would be grand for a few pints lots of impromptu sessions and a bit of Craic from some of the old stock left in town

I can only assume you're being sarcastic here. If so you did leave out a few gems. Joe's Place, Richie Houlihan's and Barrett's. But honestly, Linnane's and The Sportsfield gets a bad auld rep around the town. Sure, they mightn't be the most craic of any of the bars in town, but I've never seen an ounce of trouble in any of those pubs. Same goes for the Four Seasons but that might just be the most depressing place in the world.

Hennesseys would have the biggest selection of beer in town. But maybe someone else can chime in if they know another place.

It has 3 different areas, the front which is usually quiet, the middle which has a bit more music and the back part which is more like a night club.

A little outside the town centre but Stokers lodge, across from the bus station, is exactly what you're looking for. Nice quiet little pub with good staff and friendly locals.

Myself and a few friends stopped in one night for a drink on the way home to killarney from a match and we've gone back since just for a night out. Lovely spot.

Try Paddy Macs or An Cearnog.
