Enter the Park. Exit the Ordinary. A storied Irish pub where timber, candlelight, and conversation linger.
Named for Major Patrick Colgan, this cosy haven carries the spirit of Irish hospitality through generations. Beneath exposed stone and rich beams, a crackling fire sets the tempo for a night of easy laughter and high-end pub fare, all inside Killarney National Park, where story and place are inseparable.
A True Taste of Ireland
Colgans is a living room for the Killarney soul, equal parts traditional pub and elevated culinary experience. Locals swap stories, Jarveys rest their boots, and travellers are welcomed like kin. Expect familiar comforts reimagined with local ingredients and a modern hand, served with warmth that feels instinctively right.
