From today more restrictions have been lifted and now those who are fully vaccinated or who have recovered from Covid-19 in the past six months can dine indoors and ‘wet pubs’ can open! Finally!
We’ve been lucky with the weather the last while, and outdoor dining actually isn’t bad, but there are some places where it’s just not the same, especially if there’s rain forecast.
If you fall under these categories and are ready to get back into the warmth and atmosphere of the inside of a pub or restaurant we have got you covered, and have rounded up some gorge places to go for the big occasion, here’s to more normality.

Kerry
J.M. Reidy’s
This spot in Killarney is very popular, If you’re trying to go for brunch you’ll have to be up very early as there’s often a queue and a long wait.
