We walked in and did a tasting in the tasting room (no tour). Great info from the staff at the bar. Lovely setting for the tasting - very authentic in the distillery. Really nice whiskey ! Recommend a stop here if you're touring around Dingle peninsula!

Great afternoon spent listening to the story of how Dingle gin vodka whisky came to be. Great tour by Colin. Tastings were great. Drink at end a bonus.

Local and authentic distillery tour with very motivated guide - perfect length and good storytelling and explanation. Great small degustation at the end of the tour.

During our trip around Edinburgh and Ireland, I tried to taste as many different local beers, gins and whiskeys as I could. On a rainy afternoon, we had booked in for a tour and tasting at the Dingle Distillery, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I learned a lot and liked what I tasted, so over all it was a great way to spend some time. It’s a beautiful establishment, full of local stories and like lots of businesses like this, it was a passion project, and who knew how it would go. What stood out to me initially was that the tour guide really knew their stuff and had been making alcohol for over 15 years. They knew a lot, and were clearly passionate about the process, care and effort that goes into making Dingle Gin, Vodka and Whiskey. The tour itself was not only informative, but really deepened my appreciation for the craft behind whiskey production - especially how the grain, cask type, and aging all significantly shape the final product. As someone who enjoys whiskey, but always adds a bit of ice, I appreciated the guide's open, relaxed and less puritanical view - telling us that it doesn’t have to be had straight, and encouraging people to enjoy their whiskey how they personally like it: and noting that if you add a little water or ice it actually opens it up. I was glad to hear that it is also how the guide liked to drink theirs. Dingle Distillery is still relatively young by global standards - founded in 2012 as part of the new wave of Irish craft distilleries. They have a sort of small-batch, artisan approach and began by selling casks of their first products to investors, lots of whom they knew - and it grew and grew from there. Everything is made on-site in Dingle, with a focus on quality over mass production. The distillery uses locally sourced botanicals for its gin (which is an excellent gin), and carefully selected casks for aging their whiskeys, including bourbon, rum and port casks that bring real depth and complexity. Their by-products are collected by local farmers and put to good use, and you can tell they’ve thought a lot about the end-to-end process. Before visiting, I couldn’t remember seeing or coming across their products, but since the tour, I’ve started seeing Dingle Whiskey and Dingle Gin everywhere, and by my taste buds, this is for good reasons. It was nice to support a distillery that’s still independently owned, and building its reputation for quality one batch at a time. If you’re visiting Dingle, don’t skip the tour. It’s a unique and memorable experience, whether you're a serious whiskey enthusiast or simply curious I think everyone would get something out of the tour.

I did the 75 minute Distillery tour. Very knowledgeable guide. They put together quite small groups of about 14 people max. Tasted different spirits in the beginning and at the end. Overall a great experience, if you want to see an artisan Whiskey Distillery, this is the best tour I had so far!

Dingle Distillery truly offered the best distillery tour I have ever done. I have been to many, and this one stood out immediately because of how warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable the staff are. The tour itself is the perfect length, with no unnecessary filler, and every part feels thoughtful and informative. What really impressed me was how they taught us to taste the whiskey. Their approach gave me a completely new perspective, and I actually enjoyed the tasting even though I normally do not like whiskey. It felt personal, fun, and genuinely interesting from start to finish. This is absolutely a tour you do not want to miss.

Great tasting! Started with gin & vodka. Moved on to an immersive tour with smelling mashes and different barrels. Drank two more whiskey tastes including single malt and POTS. Excellent town recommendations by Tomas. Only 20€ for a student! We booked online the day before :)

Wow! What a great aquarium. We accidentally timed our visit to perfection and managed to catch the otters and two different types of penguins at their feeding times. Got to watch otters eat meat balls, and it was awesome. The whole experience exceeded my expectations. Lovely aquarium for both adults and children.

I was absolutely amazed by how wonderful this aquarium was. I took my son here for his birthday and we had a great time. We watched them feed the penguins and listened to a great talk about the sharks. We even got to pet the sting rays. I was super impressed. Completely worth going to visit!

A smallish BUT brilliant display of aquatic life. They have various exhibits ranging from the Amazon to the arctic. The staff is friendly and the displays informative. Your tour ends in the gift shop. But something to support the animals. There is plenty of paid parking across the road, or you can simply walk down.

We had a really nice experience visiting the aquarium in Dingle. It’s not very big, but it’s well laid out and easy to explore. The displays are interesting, with plenty of information, and the variety of marine life kept both adults and kids engaged. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, which added to the visit. It’s a great stop if you’re in the area, especially for families, and a lovely way to learn more about local sea life.

Lovely family visit. Highlights were Penguin feeding and the butterfly room but all enjoyable. Friendly young staff. Pay to park.

My wife and I visited the aquarium just as something to do as the weather was bad. It turned out to be a lovely experience. While it's compact enough there's still plenty to see and we were kept entertained for our 45 minute visit. Animals are fed at certain times of the day which is worth going to. The staff will let you know about these times. A special shout-out to the people working there, very friendly and full of info on the animals. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Dingle and looking for something to do. It seemed to be a big hit with families, we're big kids ourselves.

Really nice aquarium. The staff at the entrance were lovely. I liked the otter feeding a lot, the guy talking about the otters was great. The gift shop is also really good, they have a lot of different things. I bought a puffin stuffed animal, a penguin painted stone and a keychain. If I am ever back in Dingle, I will probably visit again!

Brilliant place to have some delicious and local made ice-cream. Made in dingle and this franchise is an absolute gem. Tried 2 scoops of butterscotch and chocolate. Both were fantastic and creamy in texture.

American on a family vacation, Stopped in around 5:00 on a Tuesday, line out the door, but two girls were offering taste tests of the flavors to help you decide on your order while waiting. We had 5 people ordering and the girl behind the counter was patient and kind. She asked us about our trip and was chatty and fun. What a lovely encounter, Ice cream was delicious, between us all we had just about every flavor and each one was a winner. Definitely a must stop while in town!

A huge thank you to Aisling and the amazing team at Murphy’s Ice Cream in Dingle! You were all so kind and welcoming to me and my family — it honestly made our visit extra special. The ice cream was absolutely delicious (the best we’ve ever had!), but it was your warmth, smiles, and friendliness that made the experience unforgettable. Anne John and Luke xx

Great tasting ice cream. I tried the Dingle sea salt and Irish brown bread ice cream, both were yummy.

Definitely one of the best ice creams I’ve ever tried out. Dingle sea salt taste is wow, soft, tender and creamy

If in Dingle Ireland .... a stop at Murphy's is a MUST !!! The flavors are amazing. I will absolutely stop there again.

Great ice cream, unique flavors, what more could you ask for?

Quite a unique pub. Several separate rooms with original stone walls and even an alleyway. Towards the back, a courtyard open to the sky where smoking was permitted. Plenty of room for us tourists and lively locals to meet.

This was my favorite pub on our trip around Ireland. I originally stopped in because it says they are a hardware store outside and I needed a wrench to fix some camera gear. They ended up fixing it for me for free plus they have a great pint of Guinness on tap. They had a peat moss fire burning too and there was a sheep dog hanging out which liked to play fetch endlessly. Highly recommended!

As I walked in, I half forgot why I was there, was it for a beer or a box of screws? In Australia, you can go to the hardware store for a sausage sandwich, but being able to head in for a beer was next level. Foxy John's bills itself proudly has having a rare dual function of being both a hardware store and a bar, but to be fair, I saw no one buying hardware when I was there. Forgive the one star for the food, I don’t eat or see others eating while I was there. But if you’re after a drink, this place definitely has those. The bar was full of people perched up, enjoying a drink and a chat, I ordered a Guinness, making sure I skulled the first one, and quickly decided I needed a Foxy John’s t-shirt. This is so when I get back home, people will know how cool I am. John Prine’s classic “Angel from Montgomery” was playing at a nice volume over the chatter of the patrons. I quickly ordered a second beer and sat down out the back with our group to debrief on the highlights of the trip to Dingle and Doolin. We’d seen some sights, feed some baby lambs, bought some funky wool socks, and enjoyed some excellent food and whiskey - and now we’d found a quiet spot for a beer and a de-brief in a unique Dingle institution. You come here for the character, the story and probably for a t-shirt. Some people we’d chatted to in Doolin said we had to visit “Foxy John’s” if we were in Dingle, so we did. We enjoyed a pint and a chat and left in search of sustenance. Bunnings in Australia could definitely learn a thing or two from this hardware store with a twist.

Foxy Johns was on my list for Dingle. (Thanks to Rick Steves and a few YouTubers!) Stopped in for a pint with my wife and three sons. It was packed in the front, but one of the bartenders acknowledged me and got back to me in a couple minutes. I sidled up shoulder to shoulder to an elderly man on a stool at the bar. We smiled at each other and I leaned in and said “That's the price you pay for a good seat.” He winked and raised his glass. (Perfect Pub Moment.) We found a table in the back room and played Uno with some other patrons. Loud, and chaotic, but we loved every minute of it!

Great pub! We stopped in for a cider and had a lovely time. Fun that it's a hardware shop/pub combination and service was fantastic.

The best place to go and have a Guinness. Love the people that work there. Richie took care of us and showed us a great time in the pub. If you around the area show up and have a drink! Would recommend to everyone

Hardware store and pub at the sametime, interesting concept. I bought an Irish whiskey and really enjoyed it.

We love Dick Mack's! We have only had amazing experiences here. Excellent service, great ambience, and we always have a good chat with people. My husband also got a belt this time. This was the only souvenir that he wanted and it's beautifully made. Wonderful memories made here on each visit.

Walking Dingle and We notice folks eating and drinking on picnic tables at the end of an alley. Curious and needed hydration we walked back to find Dick Mack’s Pub!! Found the bar got hydration and enjoyed an eclectic moment outside. It was great. Inside I noticed a couple sitting in a small booth facing the bar. I asked if they were giving a confession. Apparently not 😳🫢 Great spot!! Church across the street too 🙏

Great service but way too touristy for us. Don't serve food I think. It's worth seeing once. Guinness wasn't great to be honest. The front snug is gorgeous but the back of bar where toilets are is horribly new. The builder should have been fired. They make personalised leather belts there. They were make some kind of video YouTube thingy in there. Dingle is expensive on par with Dublin prices which is a pity.

What a fabulous pub! One side is a shoe/leather maker and the other is the bar with 2 private ‘booths’ like the old days. We received a friendly welcome by Finn and of course our dog was allowed in without hesitation. Definitely recommend stopping here, we went back again in the evening for another Guinness (it was very nice) and we will be back for sure in the future

Unique and classic pub. Friendly service with good drinks. Well worth a visit to this original treasure .

Gorgeous pub! Lots of rooms for 2 or 10 people! Find your own spot and settle in for the night.

Impresssive old pub in Dingle. Very Irish tradition, with lots to see inside. Friendly staff as well. Highly recommended for a visit if you want a good time!

The Chart House restaurant offers delicious dishes that I would definitely recommend. Despite having a small space, it is very cozy and offers excellent service. Additionally, the restaurant is attentive to different dietary restrictions and is willing to make necessary adjustments according to the customer's needs.

We went here on a Saturday evening. Our group had different meals. From starters to dessert. The fine and helpful staff gave us all the attention we needed. Not to many dishes to choose from, which is great. I had the monkfish which was extremely good. They have most dishes made from locally suppliers. I also recommend the salad as a starter. Good range of wines as well. They also serve the award winning Dingle gin here. Superb. No parking. WC. Wheelchair access friendly.

Popular with the locals this Michelin-listed restaurant has lovely starters and mains. Try the mussels and the beef. Overall a good place to dine - atmosphere and some items on the menu are not quite en par with expectations

Good food, good service, reasonably priced. The food was well executed and somewhat on the creative side, particularly the appetizers. Service was good, although if they want to push for a Michelin star this would have to be increased. Prices were very reasonable, especially due to being one of the top rated restaurants in a touristy town.

A wonderful experience: a meal that was perfect from beginning to end, excellent flavor combinations, and impeccable service. Yesterday, The Chart House made my mother's birthday dinner her most memorable. Thank you, Susan and Rob, for your kindness and hospitality.

Great service and great food down by the water. We had the lamb and beef--both were great, but the star of the entire meal was hands down the gratin that comes with the lamb. The restaurant was continually filled, so I'd suggest a reservation.

Dingle is a small town in County Kerry on the Atlantic coast of Ireland. Being on the sea of course there are many fish and chip shops as well as a plethora of traditional Irish pubs serving a range of seafood dishes alongside hearty meat ones, to the sound of traditional Irish music. I ate at a restaurant I’d found in the Michelin Guide, called Chart House. It’s a restaurant with a simple yet elegant style and without fuss or pretensions. A glance at the menu reveals an imaginative combination of local ingredients which lead the diner to a high level of expectation. Overall I’d say that although it’s probably the nicest restaurant in which to eat in the town the food generally doesn’t sing in the way the menu leads one to expect. In the words of many a TV foodie, the cooking needs ‘elevating’ to do justice to the feel of the place and to the descriptions on the menu. That said this is good food at the level of a gastropub or bistro. Although it’s not the purpose of this blog to review drinks, before letting you in on what I ate I should give a shout-out to the outstanding Dingle Gin which I had with tonic while I browsed the menu. A very quaffable beverage with a dry aftertaste. It would be great with a sprig of rosemary sitting in the glass. And so to the food… I started with Annascaul Black Pudding with Seared Scallop on a Potato and Celeriac Rosti and Apple Glaze. It was nice enough except that the quantity of black pudding was seriously out of proportion to the tiny scallop sitting on top and for the life of me I couldn’t detect the flavour of the apple glaze, nor was I entirely sure what it was supposed to be glazing. A nice touch was the use of the scallop roe which I enjoy but is all to often discarded. Roast Rack of Kerry Lamb with Dauphinoise Potatoes, Cumin Spiced Red Onion Marmalade and Red Wine Jus came next. This was tender juicy and perfectly cooked lamb of the highest quality. The potatoes were creamy and with just the right amount of garlic and the onion confection was suitably interesting (but I didn’t eat it all). My heart sank though when a side dish of roasted root vegetables was also served. This was completely over the top, especially as it included boiled potatoes. Potatoes on potatoes? Really? Well it is Ireland I suppose! For pudding I chose, Warm Spiced Apple Crumble with Clove Ice Cream and Creme Anglaise. It was a suitably modest portion of well made and flavoured crumble. The creme anglaise was unctuous (but I’d simply call it custard if it were my restaurant) but the ice cream was delicious. It was my first experience of clove ice cream and I can’t wait to try and replicate it at home. A quirky touch was the presentation of the bill in a copy of an Enid Blyton novel.

My husband and I enjoyed some of the best fish dishes here! The portions were very generous, and the staff were so accommodating, making sure we were comfortable with our table since we had our baby. We also loved the beautiful art inside the restaurant. A truly wonderful first meal in Dingle

The food and service was amazing! After a long day we decided on ordering three starters each, rather than eating one starter and one main course. We didn’t have to wait long and all the food we ordered was delicious. The staff was extremely friendly and checked up on us regularly. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming from the beginning on and made us feel very cozy. Overall it was a nice welcome to our stay in Dingle and we can most definitely recommend it!

Best meal in Dingle and one of our favorite meals ever! Everything we had here was incredible and the service was excellent. Book a reservation here as soon as possible, it's very popular and you good reason.

Really good fresh seafood, attentive service and a quiet, quaint atmosphere. Definitely get a reservation ahead of time, but it’s worth the effort. Meals served with potatoes, fresh sautéed veggies and bread. I believe the fish changes every day based on availability and what was caught. Don’t miss out on this gem in Dingle, but don’t expect to walk in and get a free table.

You must make reservations! Best meal we had in Dingle. We ordered the squid, sea bass, tuna ceviche and monkfish. Plenty of food for 3 people. I love that nothing is deep fried here and there’s no chips on the menu.

The best. Simply the best. My husband and I are from Florida, live on the Mediterranean in Spain, and have eaten what we considered some of the best seafood in the world. Until this afternoon at our 4.30 supper reservation (what would be late lunch in Spain) because that’s all they had available—but we were told it was worth it. It was. And then some. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed like Ireland—but the food could be served at the snootiest of Michelin Star restaurants. No doubt. Just go. You’ll see. Let the pictures speak for themselves.

The staff was very nice and the food was absolutely delicious. The cherry cheesecake was the best cheesecake I’ve ever had. Overall I had an amazing experience and I would highly recommend this place to anyone who visits Dingle and admires nice seafood.

High end dining at its very best. Really really tasty food. Fish was super fresh and the Kerry lamb delicious. Staff were warm and natural. Very enjoyable night out

Fabulous food, really friendly staff so helpful couldn't do enough to help, gorgeous wine! Overall fabulous experience!

The flavor combination is outstanding, I can say it was one of the best meals in years. And combined with a good red wine, I am extremely satisfied. A must go in Dingle.

Great restaurant source locally and grows their own organic vegetables and fruit from the garden, also forage locally.

Second time eating here with my whole family. Food is good but I think the plate is too busy. There’s a lot of things going on in one dish and you are never quite sure exactly what you are eating. Perhaps an explanation of what’s on your plate when it is set down would be helpful. Great options for vegetarian and vegan. Brown bread was amazing. The other lighter type was really good as well. I think their butter is infused with garlic and thyme? Not sure but it was delicious.

Amazing food. The bagels alone were spectacular.

The service is solid, menu well-balanced and ambiance quite relaxing. The food: excellent and surprisingly so. The meat plate had cuts of lamb that were tasty and not too heavy, though filling for me. Crispy lamb belly, lamb cutlet and lamb liver -- extraordinary. I would recommend ordering the liver medium rare or rate. The vegetable dish was appropriate and filling. The wine was not expensive, and worked well with the food. Impressive -- I am recommending this restaurant and would return if I have the opportunity.

Our first time eating at this darling restaurant and I can see why there are so many positive reviews. The food is very fresh, and the choices are endless. Left not feeling hungry, which is sometimes the downfall of tapas. The staff was efficient, helpful and friendly. I highly recommend it.

Tasty, well made food, with creative flavors and obviously fresh ingredients. The staff were pleasant and the atmosphere was nice. We were visiting from Canada and we're very happy to see this quality of food being served in little Dingle. I am gluten free and they were more than happy to accommodate. Kudos to the staff.

A great dinner experience. The deep room is cosy and lively in the evenings and the all-female serving staff are warm and professional. Standout dishes were toasted sourdough with confit tomatoes (a great take on the usual ‘pan con tomat’) and sardine on cracker (a very sophisticated dish which would not be out of place in a fine-dining restaurant). All food was excellent, showcasing Irish ingredients and very good cooking skills.

Wonderful food in Tapas style. Share some plates and have a great experience! At a great and justified price!

I've been here a number of times now (including twice in the one weekend because it's so good) and it always hits the mark. The service is very friendly and efficient and the food is out of this world! Highly recommend the pork belly, the croquettes, and the fig tempura. The ceviche is also excellent. Already planning my return.

Solas is a real gem in Dingle, offering top-quality tapas that are perfect for sharing. The food is outstanding—fresh, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. With a great variety of small plates, it’s an ideal spot for groups who love to try a bit of everything. What really sets Solas apart is the exceptional service. The staff are warm, attentive, and make you feel right at home. If you’re looking for a relaxed yet top-notch dining experience in Dingle, this is the place to

Everything was delicious especially enjoyed the fig tempura and confit tomatoes. Staff were lovely and accommodating

Well....what can I say, I was expecting excellence and I got it. Wonderful food, great service, a lovely relaxing atmosphere. The roasted black sole was delicious, but the big surprise was the smoked haddock risotto, absolutely delicious!

We entered and were greeted by Helena. She was also our waitress and she made the experience fantastic. While the food was amazing, her genuine hospitality and passion about the food made our experience remarkable. If you want amazing seafood with fabulous service, Doyle’s is a must.

It's the best seafood restaurant in town. The staff are the best you can meet. Alicia was a great host. Also, Anna, Olivia, and other colleagues were outstanding. Thank you for an excellent meal. We dined here two times.

I had oysters starter so good. Risotto was class, lobster was amazing with melted garlic butter and the John Dory super . Good choice of wines and coffee

If you're staying by the water this may be a bit of a walk but I assure you it's a walk worth taking. Fantastic food in great service. Everything was as fresh as if it was caught that day. Truly noticeable and great cuisine. Not sure you going to find better seafood in the dingle area.

Seafood at it's best. Superb quality of food and service. It might not be cheap, but good food can never be cheap. For me the relationship price & quality is absolutely good.

I have been visiting Dingle for 12 years, usually twice a year, and had always wanted to book in to Doyles but for whatever reason, never had. Finally got a chance and omg, it was absolutely lovely. I will say as a solo traveler I wish there was a chance to sit at the bar and eat, that's always a little less awkward, but it was well worth it. The staff was lovely and the seafood risotto was to die for. I will definitely be back!
