Experience Scotts Bar & Courtyard

Since first opening its doors in 1930, Scotts Bar has been a cornerstone of Killarney’s social scene, blending nearly a century of history with a fresh, contemporary energy. Scotts Bar honours the classic traditional Irish bar aesthetic—featuring cozy, intimate snugs that are perfect for a quiet pint or a long-overdue catch-up.

When the sun reaches the town centre, our Courtyard transforms into the ultimate outdoor destination. A true sun trap and the town’s favorite “hidden gem,” it is the premier venue for live music and catching every moment of live sporting action on our massive outdoor screen.

Whether you’re a local regular or a guest discovering us for the first time, the buzzing atmosphere of Scotts Bar & Courtyard is a testament to our commitment to exceptional food, craft drinks, and world-class service.
