You must go to Nora Murphys Bar at Brandon, it has to be the most wonderfully located Bar in the WORLD. Go over the Connor Pass, hang a left at the bottom through Cloghane follow the road towards Brandon Point and you come to Brandon, a little road goes off to the right and takes you down to a small quay and the Bar. It is run by Mary & Patrick Murphy (Patrick is the son of the late Nora)
It is a very simple bar, fire place at one end of a single room with a uneven floor and bar at the other. Mary is the most generous lovely woman you could wish to meet, she is an absolute Angel. If you go tell them you know us or mention "The Mad Buggers" I am sure you will be treated as long lost cousins.
Then come back and tell me if you know of a bar in a better spot, 3000ft mountains to 2 sides, a glorious spread of sandy estuary, the Bay of Tralee in the front of you with the Magherees in the distance and the wild Atlantic to finish of the picture.
