A short drive from Killarney, and a fine place for dinner, drinks, and music. We enjoyed the ambiance, and I the barbecue ribs, recently after a day's drive along the Ring of Kerry. This local pub topped off what was an awesome day. Good food, good service, a cozy ambiance -- you really could not ask for more.

spent an hour in kate kearneys this week, probably the tenth time being there and as always, a very welcoming cosy place with a huge blazing fire in the hearth and food that makes your mouth water.was served at the bar by a friendly young lad who chatted about the weather etc. we always visit when we come to killarney...

I have nothing but praise for Kate's I have spent most my summers here. The place has a magical ambience , the food is divine no one makes vegetable soup like Kate Kearney's cottage, the staff are always really accommodating and soo friendly. It's my favourite place in Ireland and can't wait to come back this year.

We arrived at Kate Kearneys cottage after an interesting and very wet walk up and back to the stunning Gap of Dunloe. Kate Kearneys cottage is a Pub/Restaurant/Souvenir shop aimed mainly at the tourism market and as such you'd expect it to be 'cheesy' and full of 'plastic paddy'. I am glad to report that this could not be further... More

We were on a few days break to Killarney & on a miserable wet day we decided to visit Kate Kearneys cottage. It is very easy to find which always helps! The cottage has a lovely little souvenir shop & not overly expensive like most usually are. There is also a full bar & restaurant. We didnt actually eat while... More

Beautiful little restaurant nestled among the hills, right before you drive through the Gap of Dunloe, a must stop for your Kerry visit! Great place for a cuppa or a beautiful dinner. Ask for their specials. Great friendly staff, would recommend highly.
