Roundy's are now serving draft craft/decent beers, I think that's the first in town.

I saw them advertised in last week's Kerry's eye! Although they have slightly changed their name, but they are back in the same place on the Listowel Road!

Hi I'm thinking of heading down before christmas. Can anyone recommend somewhere nice, probably a hotel, near the bus station? . And is there much to do there at this time of year?. Any nice Galleries or museums?

Thanks

Sarah

My sister usually stays in the Manor hotel it on the outside of tralee it would be a 5-10 minute taxi ride, they have a swimming pool (she has kids).

the Grand is nice too it is very central and the food is good

kingdumb · 16-10-2014 11:17pm

They have a few 8° 's and a cider not too sure about the others. The interesting thing is that they took out most of the other taps. Hope it goes well for them.

While on the topic of the good stuff on tap, anyone have any idea what happened to the draft holy water tap that was outside St. John's church ?

I presume this has something to do with the water charges !

good to see them doing the craft beers though, more should follow but for some reason don't seem to want to!?

Francis Brennan from the Park hotel in Kenmare & tv show 'At your Service' will be signing his book in O'Mahony's bookshop on Saturday from 3pm!

My GP is Dr. Gerry O'Shea in Clounalour medical centre in Oakpark. He is very understanding and a lovely doctor. If its a woman you would prefer to see, maybe try Dr. Michelle Cooper in Ashe Street.

I know there will be nationwide protest marches for the anti-water charges campaign on November 1st, but is there also one this Saturday in Tralee? I thought I heard there was, but can't see if its for definite.

It's not often you see two Kerry Greats next door to each other !
Pity to see Mick O'Dwyer and Charlie Nelligan gone from the main street.

phormium · 23-10-2014 1:19pm

I don't buy a lot of cake but they do a very good vanilla & custard slice there, heart attack on a plate but so good.

Ah feck. I love the takeaway rolls in there. They are as good as any meal for circa €3.50.

I have noticed that it has gone noticeably quieter in the sit down area in particular compared to a few years ago. I guess the explosion in coffee shops in the Town over the last circa 3 years is responsible for that.

Where else can you get a good takeaway roll in Town? (and I said 'good' takeaway roll so don't mention Subway)

Does Rays do takeaway rolls?

Molester Stallone II · 23-10-2014 3:05pm

60k a year rent, plus approx 18k in rates, that's a lot of ham rolls and custard slices need selling to recoup that outlay

You can get a takeaway roll from Baileys, approx €5. Enough to feed 2 normal people, or 1 greedy gorta

Thanks Kerrydude.

Any one spot the old ball alleys in the Green across from the Brandon? or the old Tralee Tennis courts behind O'Donoghues Shop in Oakpark.

Brendans Park being built is facinating. And note where the Rockies trained in the field where St Brendans stands now.

CBS shcool in Fairies Cross was still the fair field.

You can still clearly see the line of the Dingle railway allingment.

Ciarrai76 · 24-10-2014 11:47pm

Water charges protest march tomorrow (Saturday) at 12pm from Horan's

apparently (according to me Da), it was around 1967/68! The clubhouse wasn't built for many years after that, I think that was about 1989?

RevBlueJeans · 25-10-2014 3:00pm

from austinstacks.ie

1969: St Brendan's Church, which is built on the site of Joanie O'Connell's field in Rock Street, the club's former home was consecrated by the then Bishop of Kerry, Dr Eamon Casey.

1971: The Club entered negotiations with Tralee UDC which eventually led to the purchase of Connolly Park the following year.
