Yesterday we welcomed Tom and Ben to Kate Kearney’s Cottage as part of their incredible journey from Mizen Head to Malin Head with Guinness 0.0.

They are travelling the length of Ireland on a tandem bike. Stopping at rural pubs and celebrating the people and stories that make Ireland so special

It was a pleasure to show them around our family pub, now in its seventh generation and to send them on their way with a warm Kerry welcome.l!

Best of luck with the rest of the journey, lads. Safe travels!

And once the band joins in, the whole room comes alive

We have Irish shows on most nights from 7-9pm
