The Horseshoe

About

Nestled at the foot of Main Street in the charming town of Kenmare, The Horseshoe Bar & Restaurant has become a local favourite for its cosy ambience and memorable dining experience. The venue boasts a warm, candlelit interior that invites couples, families, and friends to relax over a handcrafted menu featuring fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The Horseshoe’s menu showcases an impressive array of dishes, from hearty Irish classics such as the famous Beef Stirfry and Wild Atlantic Monkfish to lighter options like the Coconut Risotto and Herb‑grilled salmon. Seasonal ingredients and a focus on reducing the carbon footprint mean that every plate is not only bursting with flavour but also sustainable. A standout feature of The Horseshoe is its famous live‑music nights every Saturday evening, starting at 9:30pm. With local musicians and a relaxed bar setting, patrons can enjoy a sunset stroll in the town before settling in for an evening of music and fine dining. Unsurprisingly, the restaurant has earned recognition as the "Most Atmospheric Bar & Restaurant in Kerry" (LUX Life Magazine 2019). Whether you’re planning a romantic dinner, a family celebration, or a night out with friends, The Horseshoe delivers a welcoming, authentic Irish experience that keeps visitors coming back.
