Food & beverage

Samuel Restaurant, renowned for its superb cuisine, high standards and intimate relaxing atmosphere, yet suitable for both formal and informal occasions, is one of the finest restaurants in Tralee. Head chef Ray provides an a la carte and 4-course table d'hote menu each evening. Enjoy a delightful cuisine in the dining room, where attention and creativity is the hallmark.

Lunch: 12:30 - 14:30.
Dinner: 18:00 - 21:30.

The restaurant of the hotel, on the west side of Denny Street, was once the office of Mr. Samuel Hussey (1824-1913), one of the most notorious and colourful land agents in 19th century Ireland.

The traditional style pub is known locally as The Pikeman Bar, so called as the Pikeman Statue (“Croppy Boy”) is just outside the front door on the main street.

The bar food menu is second to none and offers a wide and extensive choice of excellent food at moderate prices. The bar food menu finishes at 21:30 to facilitate our traditional Irish music sessions every Friday night all year round and nightly during summer months, which have proved very popular with local and visiting customers alike.

Divided into 2 sections, the section nearest the street was once the location of the local post office and home of Oliver Rowland Mason, Postmaster. The ornate ceilings, hand carved furniture, and fireplaces are testament to that fact. The main features of the bar are 2 open fires, wood panelled walls and traditional leaded glass, all combining to give a warm and welcoming atmosphere to Tralee's most popular and historic pub.
