Celtic Whiskey Bar & Larder

Seasonal Irish cuisine and whiskey from across the globe

Ireland's Largest Whiskey Collection Local, Seasonal Food | Cocktails | Artisan Gin | Craft Beer | Wine info@celticwhiskeybar.com | 064 663 5700 | celticwhiskeybar.com 93 New Street, Killarney, Co.Kerry

More than 1,200 bottles of whiskey line the brightly-lit shelves at the Celtic Whiskey Bar & Larder in Killarney.

The ‘Uisce Beatha’ is in good company with whiskey from across the globe - single malts from Scotland, blended malts from Japan, bourbons from America and the more peculiar from developing whisky markets. An eclectic range, but Irish whiskey takes centre-stage, as does local, seasonal Irish cuisine.

Head Chef, Alan MacDonald, combines his experience in Michelin Star kitchens with his travelling adventures across Azerbaijan, Spain and Moscow to enrich the seasonal menus. There are unique quirks in the menus like the Black Pudding Sausage Rolls, but there is a clear ode to traditional Irish cuisine and gaelic culinary styles. MacDonald really utilizes all that the land and sea in The Kingdom

has to offer, from the Glenbeigh mussels sourced from family-run Glenbeigh Shellfish to the Kerry herb crusted rump of lamb and the local rhubarb that fills the pavlova along with chantilly and candied peanuts.

Lunch is served daily followed by an evening menu until 9.45pm with group bookings welcomed. Another striking note is the fortified wine suggestions that adorn the evening and dessert menus. The Coravin wine system allows for some truly exciting wines to be tasted, unusually, by the glass. Over 60 Irish craft gins are available along with 12 craft beers, a bespoke cocktail menu and some very rare bottlings from the lessknown spirit categories.
