Live Your Best Middle Earth life at the Irish Shire

A J.R.R. Tolkien fan paradise in Killarney, Co. Kerry

The life of a Hobbit is a very peaceful and a relaxed existence. They drink the most excellent ales and smoke the smoothies pipe tobacco. Sitting outside all day enjoying the world, eating good hearty food, what's not to love about living in the Shire?

Well apart from the chances of a dark overlord coming to destroy everything you love that is…

In the beautiful city of Killarney, you can escape to that very lifestyle with all the trimmings, minus the hairy feet. The Shire in Killarney is Ireland's premier themed 'Lord of The Ring Bar', restaurant and accommodation so you can really dive into Middle Earth.

'The Shire Killarney' has a ton to offer everyone whether you are a Lord of the Rings fan or not. Their restaurant serves food all day, from Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. Just like the Hobbits, they ignore any type of Elvish food and go for food that is going to fill your belly.

For breakfast, you can enjoy the typical Irish favourites along with American pancakes or waffles. For lunch, you can feast over pasta or Shire burgers. Dinner has a vast range from fajitas, steak or cottage pie, so there is something to suit everyone's tastes here.

The Bar in the Shire serves out their own locally made brews. They have drinks like the Shire Red Ale or the Full Circle IPA. For the hobbits among you (not the children) you can order half-pints, tankards for the humans, or a tasting tray for the dwarfs that want to experience them all. The Bar also has weekly comedy nights and live traditional music. You can see the schedule for their nights on their website.

If you are visiting Killarney, 'the Shire Killarney' also has fantastic accommodation on offer. Because they are in the middle of Killarney and not just Middle earth, you have easy access to all the fantastic attractions this beautiful town has to offer!

So, if you are a fan of "The Lord of the Rings" make your way to Killarney. It's guaranteed to be a wonderful weekend of magic and entertainment at The Shire Killarney.

Just try to not get Legolas in the bar, sorry I mean legless… (Apologies for the dad joke)
