Hello gentlefolk

Instead of starting a new thread,I thought Id ask in here.
Just got tickets for Simple Minds tomorrow night. Hostel sorted For 44euro for 2 (auld wans

)
So what I want to ask is..where can we go for a few scoops after the concert. Any late bars that dont cost a fortune?? (Not niteclubs)
Thanks in advance.

MacSorleys is probably your best bet for a late bar but on a weekend it'll have live music which is always really loud - great smoking area though!

Is that geared towards younger folk though? We're in our 40s. Can deal with noise but not thump thump

How late do they stay open?

EDIT.. Just reading about Mustang Sallys. Any good??

Once you leave your 20's your probably too old for mustang sallys;)....also you'd need a stomach made of iron,seriously though i wouldnt recommend that place to anyone.im in my mid 30's and find mcsorleys a great spot for late pints, they stay open til around 2.30ish,the tatler jack is also a popular late bar.the grand bar is ok but will probably charge to go in.The crypt and Danny mann are nite clubs(havnt been to these for years

)
The weekend thats in it though everywhere is going to be crazy,i'd say find somewhere comfortable and sit tight:D
Enjoy

spent a week in killarney last week, love the place, the lakes, the waterfalls, muckross, the gleneagle, ross castle, feck all foreigners - more spanish students on the streets than yanks, great holiday spot from this meathman

Well folks,I said Id check in to let ye know we had a fantastic time in Killarney last night. As it turned out we didnt even want a pub after the concert...we were wrecked

Had a few drinks before hand in a pub called Taylors (I think)
Very friendly staff and locals..a home away from home

We were a bit afraid that food and drink would be overpriced but Im delighted to say they were'nt. Cheaper than here (another tourist town..with no tourists)

Anyway we loved it so much,we have just booked the Hostel again for St Patricks weekend for 115 euro!!!!(Private Room)

Great town and lovely people

Helloo,

Go out to the Killarney Oaks out the Muckross RD. Two minutes from the town and the food is yum!:D

Great craic over the weekend - we should try to have more live music on the streets for the duration of the summer me thinks.

Like your man dressed as an ELF banging on a drum while playing a violin while putting on a puppet show with cut outs of the teletubbies, Elvis and Marilyn Monroe?!!!!

Does anyone know where the Social Welfare office is in Killarney? Their website points it to being on Beech Road but there's nothing where its pointed at?

Hey, what kind of a place is the Laune Bar, trying to organise a party and this place was recommended, more of a pub than a resteraunt (which is what IM looking for)? Decent, non rough, crowd?

thanks

Not been in there in a long time myself, but I did the door there a few times during busy periods (Paddy's day, Rally of the Lakes etc) once apon a time, and there was never any trouble there. All the regulars there were all decent folks.

Its perfect for a party,plenty of room in there,nice beer,good staff and decent food,you dont get a rough crowd in there,its more a bar that gets people in their 30's and 40's....i had the grub for my stag in there a few years ago when it was half pub/half restaurant,they dont do much food these days except for finger food and the like but they would cater for you any way im sure;)

live music? Crikey, I would settle for pre-recorded music played out over the speakers that only seem to be used twice/maybe three times a year! The music does add to the atmosphere around the streets.

Does not look at all likely though

I know and it's really annoying - Killarney's set up well to be a pedestrian town - the streets are narrow enough to create a real atmosphere for street entertainment/arts

Has the doctor's office, with Dr Coffey and Dr Mangan to name a couple, been moved? If so, where? Thanks

The doctors have moved up to the Reeks, at the Tralee road round-about.
@ Killarney Primary Care Centre, Reeks Gateway, Rock Road Killarney.

It sure is. The town council keep talking about the shoppers needed for Killarney, but won't even do something as straight-forward as play music to keep people in around the town; to help with the atmosphere. At least the traffic-wardens seem to have eased off, so that's something!
