Great drinks and delicious food at the Celtic Whiskey Bar & Larder The consensus at the Celtic Whiskey Bar is that Valentine’s is by far the most difficult occasion to buy a present for ‘what is too much or too little?’

Our more experienced Valentine’s gift-givers are in agreement that the more simple the gift, the better; stick with what you know they like and enjoy.

There is very few of us that don’t enjoy an artisan gin or exclusive whiskey, and it just so happens that the team at the Celtic Whiskey Bar & Larder has one of the largest selections in Kerry to choose from: by the bottle or the glass.

But nothing beats breaking bread and indulging oneself with great drinks and delicious food with your other half.

Head Chef Alan MacDonald at the Celtic Whiskey Bar & Larder has carefully crafted a Valentine’s dinner menu using the best of seasonal, Irish produce, that will have something for everyone; whether it’s locally-sourced Black Angus Ribeye or the perfect aphrodisiac, fresh Giga oysters. Using the best of seasonal, Irish produce, fresh rhubarb also features as the delightful topping to a pavlova dessert.

This delicious three course menu is €30pp, or €25pp for two courses and will run from Thursday 14 – Saturday 16 of February. There will also be 2 for 1 cocktails on Valentine’s night too!

For reservations, please contact the Celtic Whiskey Bar & Larder on 064 663 5700 or email info@celticwhiskeybar. com.
