I went in looking to have a quiet drink with my friend as every other bar in Killarney town was busy being a bank holiday. It seemed nice at first as it was very quiet maybe 4-6 people in the bar. We asked the bar tender once he was done serving the couple beside us if he had a drinks menu as we seen the lady outside drinking some type of spitz cocktail drink…he replied “no we don’t” in a rude tone and walked off from us. He came round again and was doing something behind the bar and I asked him could I order a drink when he was ready. He replied “have you ID” I said yes and handed him my driving license that I had in the back of my phone case. He had asked me to take it out so instead I just gave him my age card as I had it handy in my bag so I put my phone down on the bar counter. He walked off with my age card and came back and asked me “if I had a problem” I replied “No” I was a bit confused as to why he asked me this. He then said “if there a f**ing problem I asked you for ID” he then gave my ID to me and told us to get out of the bar that he wasn’t going to serve any of us as we where being cheeky. At this point I was completely lost as to how he thought I was being cheeky. As someone who is local to Killarney and is a bartender myself in a bar in Killarney I am stunned to how this man treated my friend and I. He did not like the look of us from the second. I could understand if he was busy behind the bar and under pressure but he wasnt. This was behind 3pm and 3:35pm on Sunday the 02/06/2024. A middle aged male bartender. I would not recommend to come to this bar if you are under the age of 25 for a drink. I will most definitely not be returning after being treated this way.

Extremely rude bartender

Thanks McSweeney arms for a great 5 day stay in Killarney. Staff, room and food excellent - particularly the 'Wild Atlantic' breakfast. I accidentally left my house keys in the bedroom when I checked out and they'd rung to see if they were mine even before they were missing and then posted them straight on to me.

Great hotel! Great food!

I overheard one of the owners or managers i dont know which but they were treating one of the staff terribly, she questioned if the staff member was"stupid" 
my friend and i just left, i felt so sorry for the staff member.

rude staff

awesome service...family owned and they care about their guests.  rooms are tight but that's to be expected.  breakfast was great and the staff is all over you.  attached pub is a must each night.  perfect location, close to bars, restaurants, ATMs, etc. tell Kelly Anne we said hello!

awesome family owned hotel in great location

Excellent hotel and staff.  I would highly recommend McSweeney Arms.  The family is amazing and takes great pride in their hospitality.  The food was great and the attached bar/restaurant is a great way to end the night.

Highly recommend!

Our golf group of 13 went for dinner and to watch the Ireland v All Blacks match .Our table was set up and ready when we arrived  and we all had a great view of the tv.
Despite the bar being  packed with locals and visitors the quality of hospitality and food was first class. This family owned hotel under the watchful eye of Tony and Kelly Ann is well worth a visit


Golf Weekend dinner

A terrible experience, will not be returning. The bread was mouldy with our breakfast. The blind and lampshade was torn in one of the bedrooms. The receptionist accused one of our party of deliberately breaking off the key fob, when it was explained that it fell off he called them a liar in a public place. When challenged on this he refused to back down. An extremely upsetting experience for a well respected older person who is the most law abiding person. When any of the foregoing problems were pointed out with politeness no apology was forthcoming from management - in fact we were met with repeated accusations of lying. Most definitely will not be returning and will be warning friends and family to stay away. 

Mouldy Bread & Rude Receptionist

We had a nice stay in September during an unusually warm week. Our rooms on the third floor were older and on the smaller size (compared to U.S. lodging) but clean and comfortable.  Our two rooms were quite warm even when the temperature outside dropped.  The single small window faced a small service area so airflow was minimal despite the oscillating fans in the room (no AC in this hotel).  I got the impression that all the rooms were unique and this might be an issue only in this small wing of the hotel but for us it was an issue.  Staff was more than friendly and location was great.  We would stay again (hopefully in a cooler room)!

Nice hotel for the price (but warm)!

McSweeney's was a great stay for us in Killarney.  The breakfast was one of the best of the trip and the bar on the first floor was very convenient and friendly.  The location is excellent for walking around town, and the staff was professional and attentive.  The only drawback was the open windows at night did allow the noise from late night partiers to interrupt our sleep.  Not much the hotel can do about that, and probably not a problem many months of the year.  

Great place to stay in Killarney

Great location in middle of Killarney.  Rooms are nice and clean and the service is excellent.  The food downstairs is good and the pub is great as well.  Tony and Kelly are the Best and make sure you are taking care of!  Couldn’t of been happier with our four night stay.
