Keanes of Curraheen, Bar, Restaurant & Accommodation

This place is outside of town so it is not convenient if you want to spend an evening at a pub in Tralee. However, Keanes has an amazing restaurant and a nice bar so it has everything you need in one place. We used this as a base to explore the Dingle peninsula one day and spent the next day in Tralee. We were always happy to come back and have a drink in the bar and dinner in the restaurant. Our room had a pretty view of sheep pastures and the bay beyond. Look forward to staying here on our next trip.

A little gem on the outskirts of Tralee. Outstanding service. Cracking location with views across the bay. Spotlessly clean Wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Great choice for the Rose of Tralee festival as it’s only 4 miles from the town centre.

John is the best host one could imagine! He was friendly and helpful at all times. He gave us great advice for our sightseeing each day. Wonderful meals, fantastic room, great location. The pub is cozy and well furnished. The dining area likewise and with a great view of the fields and the water. We felt like family after spending three days here! We had breakfast and dinner here each day and loved every meal. Spacious, clean, well-furnished room.

We had booked our room three months prior. When we arrived, we were told they had double-booked and they gave our reservation to someone staying longer. We found a place an hour away. I’m not sure why that didn’t let us know sooner instead of waiting until we arrived—or better yet, honor our booking instead of being greedy.

Staff were excellent, our 14yr old son with autism was over regulated and staff could not do enough to make our dinner as stress free and comfortable as they could. Sitting us in a quite area, removing balloons from the bar (they freak him out) and bringing us through a closed entrance to avoid the crowd. Food was delicious and excellent value. A big 5 stars from a very happy asd mammy. Thank you

This review is not personal, but relates to family and friends. John Keane is the most accomodating gent I have ever known. My family was traveling in the Tralee area in mid-June. I contacted John from the US and arranged a voucher for my son and his family. Things were flawless. The dinner was perfect. You just can’t ask for better service. John Keane is a true gentleman.

This stay was booked months ahead of time. We were driving a rental car on a loop route all the way around the island of Ireland. We drove from Doolin on Monday, May 22, 2023 and were delayed first by the Doolin Ferry being late, then by the Shannon Ferry to arrive much later than we expected, arriving about 8 PM instead of 6 PM. The owner of Keanes, John greeted us at our arrival. He said we were late, I explained why. I asked if we could get some snacks since we had not eaten for about 6 hours. Even though the kitchen was closed, he offered to make us some deep fried Haloumi, a Beet Salad and French Fries. He cooked it himself for us and waited on us until past 9:30 PM with a couple of glasses of wine as well. I know he did not have to do that, so it was very kind. This is a wonderful nicely appointed B&B, with a full bar and restaurant. The view is spectacular with a sheep meadow just beyond the premises, a cattle pasture beyond that and the water of the ocean bay past that. Our room, also with this view was great. Breakfast in the morning was unsurpassed quality and huge variety. We loved the smoked salmon. John was also there early in the morning serving us anything we wanted on the breakfast menu. We loved watching the little lambs in the meadow romping and playing. This place is very highly recommended by us. Thank you John for treating us so well.

An amazing hotel. In a great location for touring The Ring of Kerry and Dingle. Breakfast was lovely and set you up for the rest of the day. The owner John was more than helpful with advice on where to go and what to see. Our room above the patio had amazing views and was very comfortable. Thank you John for a wonderful 5 day stay.

From start to finish the owner made us very welcome. Made sure we had everything we needed without being invasive. The setting, food, service and ambiance could not have been improved on. We stayed overnight in our motorhome, with permission, and had one of the best meals whilst on our three week WAW tour. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality.
