Fridays are for socialising

Friday’s mark the end of the working week in Killarney and so it is a great evening to hit the town and meet with locals. Whether you want to just chill out or look for some live music, Killarney has you covered!

Cinema & CHILL

Killarney recently got a brand new, state of the art, five-screen cinema . It comes complete with the latest Barco LASER projection technology and a MAXX RECLINE screen (with all electric reclining armchairs). Friday nights are always a popular night at the cinema so make sure to book your tickets early!

Experience a KILLARNEY SESSION

If you want pubs and clubs playing all types of music, including traditional Irish music, then you will not be disappointed with what Killarney has to offer. All of the local pubs are busy during the summer months, but if you don’t like it too hectic then Friday evenings are preferred to Saturdays.

Check out our ‘Top 10 Pubs in Killarney’ feature on pages 58-59 to see the best the town has to offer .

TOP TIP: Music generally starts between 7pm and 8pm nightly

Surrounded by beautiful mountains and lakes there is no shortage of adventures in Killarney. Here are two local favourites but check out our Adventure Junkies section of the magazine for more recommendations.

Hit the WATER

If you are looking to do a traditional boat tour to the Gap of Dunloe, then the O’Donoghue family have provided one of the most famous visitor excursions in Ireland. Their experience and knowledge of the local area is second to none. Killarney Lake Tours run another super boat tour. Soak up the tranquil landscapes and reflecting waters of Lough Leane from a comfortable, covered, heated vessel: Live commentary helps you enjoy scenery from the peaks of MacGillycuddy’s Reeks to the ruins of Innisfallen Abbey, and maybe even spot eagles or sika deer.
