The Shire is a Lord Of The Rings themed bar in Killarney. We serve Frodos Lager, Bilbos Beer, Barlimans Best and Gandalfs Ale. You enter The Shire through the Hobbit Hole you will be met at The Inn of “The Prancing Pony”. You will be guided through our low archway leading into Mordor. As you follow further down through our arched Hobbit Hole, you will enter our highly acclaimed Party area , which is called “Middle Earth”. Be sure to try our in-house Cocktail “Hobbit Juice” (whose ingredients will remain anonymous)! Ollie Favier is Head Hobbit.
Our ethos is to serve an eclectic mix of good food, in modern surroundings combined with a friendly atmosphere. We’re open seven days serving lunch, and an evening menu. Vendricks also serves a tasty tapas menu with a Spanish influence
