Some good
pubs on the outskirts of town are Stoker’s Lodge, Meadowlands, Nancy Myles
& The Munster Bar. If you have
access to a car, it would be worth going out to Ardfert/Banna for an
afternoon. There are a few pubs in the
village and a session in Banna beach hotel on Sunday evening. Another
good spot outside town is Camp. There
are two pubs on the main road about 10 miles out called Michael O’Neills
(traditional music guaranteed) and the Junction Bar (more family). Further along, take the upper road when you
come to the crossroads and you will come to Ashe’s after the bad bend. They server a great pint here and a definite
for some music, either traditional or folk & ballads. If you feel like travelling further take the lower road and go onto Castlegregory, a seaside village or maybe go there for a night out, it is on the way to Dingle and only about 17 miles from Tralee. Dingle itself is 31 miles from Tralee and not to be missed if coming to Kerry. If you choose to do so you must visit An Droichead Beag (where it’s all happening) and Dick Mack’s (an experience not to be missed !!)
