This pretty lakeside village in southwest Ireland is best known for its picturesque natural scenery, historic buildings, and curated gardens, but that’s not all that Killarney has to offer.
It’s also home to the Killarney Brewing Company, which specializes in producing some of Ireland’s finest craft beers.
Come and enjoy an ice-cold brew along with a crispy woodfired pizza at their Taproom after a day of sightseeing, or wind down with a meal at The Shire Bar & Café.
If you’re looking for a quiet getaway with plenty of opportunities for spending time in nature and options to dine out, this quaint Irish town could be the place for you!
