Ordered an Atlantic Pie It's bloody amazing! Feels like the sea has come up! Would go again!
Excellent service and fantastic drinks. Enjoyed watching a college football game on their big screen in the early evening. Returned later to find it transformed into a lively dance spot. Very cool!
I dined at Scruffy's tonight, and the bartender, Amy, was exceptionally friendly. Her service was outstanding, truly top-notch!

The bar staff at this restaurant are incredibly rude! When I asked for a pint of Heineken, the bartender said he needed to change the barrel. I told him I was willing to wait. However, he proceeded to pour Coors beer into a Heineken glass and give it to me. When I pointed out the mistake, he brushed it off by saying that all lagers are the same.
Tonight, I wanted something light to eat. Tried the burrito bowl which comes with cold rice, cold chicken and cold little tortilla chips. Not good with the spicy topping. Tasteless.

To begin, we went here at the end of the night of St. Patrick's Day to keep an eye on this. The feeling of the place is already in the name, it felt quite scruffy and there were a few people who fell around the place. Not bad and the staff was great. Not much to say, but probably wouldn't go back because there are so many nicer bars in Killarney. But all in all not a terrible place, could have been the hectic night we went.
Scruffy's offers fantastic cocktails, a friendly and attentive staff, and an impeccably clean and tidy environment. Their menu has a great variety to choose from, making it a wonderful dining experience.
Absolutely love this place! Fantastic food, great music, and a brilliant atmosphere. If you’re in Killarney, you have to visit at least once—you won’t regret it.
