The Doolittle Bar

A place to gather

The social heart of the resort, named in honour of ELIZA Doolittle.  This is a relaxed place to gather for easy conversation.  Lunch and dinner are served here. The focal point of the room is the curved granite top bar.  Enjoy refreshing cocktails, refined whiskeys and of course a perfectly poured pint of Guinness.

Each evening, talented musicians gather with our resident pianist, further adding to the convivial atmosphere that the Doolittle is most renowned for.

The Pygmalion Restaurant

Dine by the sea

It is in this room that you are reminded of the history and tradition of this great hotel. For 129 years hotel guests have dined and danced here and watched the sunset on Kenmare Bay.

More recent refurbishments have transformed this room, still with its high ceilings, silver candelabras, gilt-framed paintings and starched white linens but cleverly blended with a brighter colour palette and always allowing the splendid beauty beyond the window to take centre stage.

Our Menus

An inspired culinary journey

Parknasilla lunch and dinner menus are inspired by the tastes of Ireland’s Southwestern Coastline.  Head Chef Paul O’ Loughlin leads a young and talented team of chefs from all over Europe.
Paul’s focus is always to work with seasonal and locally sourced fresh produce, applying precise and attentive cooking techniques, using a clever combination of flavours and presentation must always be appealing to the eye.
