The Beaufort Bar & Restaurant

In the fourth generation of family ownership, Padraig O'Sullivan's immaculate establishment near the Gap of Dunloe is always a pleasure to visit.

The old tree at the front was left safely in place during renovations which, together with other original features like the stonework and an open fire, all contribute to the genuine character. The family take pride in running this fine pub and the upstairs restaurant is a logical extension of the bar business.

Head chef Tim Brosnan, who joined the team in 1999, presents quite extensive, well-balanced á la carte and set dinner menus with a generous, traditional tone: seafood cocktail, chicken liver paté; roast rack of Kerry lamb); finish with classic desserts or farmhouse cheeses.

Menus are fairly priced, especially Sunday lunch which is very popular and good value.

*A short traditional bar menu is now offered, Tue-Thu evenings.
