Pig’s Lane unveils new cocktail menu

Published

on

Killarney's acclaimed underground speakeasy and whiskey parlour, Pig’s Lane, has launched its highly anticipated new cocktail menu, ‘Legends & Libations’.

Tucked beneath the town’s streets, the venue now offers a collection that blends masterful mixology with rich Irish folklore, creating a unique drinking experience for the summer season.
The ambitious new menu features 15 signature cocktails, each drawing inspiration from the legends, landscapes, and lore unique to Killarney.
Developed over a year, the collection aims to capture ancient spirits, misty lakes, and timeless myths within each glass.
From tales of O’Donoghue rising over Lough Léin to the adventures of Fionn Mac Cumhaill, the menu brings centuries of storytelling to life.
Each cocktail fuses art, flavour, and story, celebrating Kerry’s wild magic. Drinks like ‘Legend of Muckross Abbey’, ‘Brother Cudda’, and ‘O’Donoghue’s Departure’ directly reference local folklore.
The menu also includes cult classics,like the ‘Devil’s Punchbowl’, and a range of mocktails.
Owner, Gemma Ring said: "Our new menu has been a real labour of love. As a team, we’ve put tremendous thought into the finer details, creating a deep synergy between the flavours, the stories, and the design of each cocktail. Seeing it all come to life has filled us with immense pride, and we can't wait for our customers to experience it."

Kerry Community Youth Service (KCYS) was pleased to welcome Minister Niall Collins to its Youth Diversion Project in Kilarney last week.

The visit gave the Minister an opportunity to meet staff and hear directly about the work of the Kerry Youth Diversion Project, including early intervention, family support, court accompaniment and wider youth justice practice across the county.
KCYS supports young people across a broad continuum of services in Kerry, from preventative and developmental youth work through to highly targeted interventions for young people and families facing significant challenge and complexity. The Youth Diversion Project forms an important part of that wider continuum of support.
Speaking following the visit, Seamus Whitty, CEO of KCYS, said:
“We were delighted to welcome Minister Collins to Kerry and to have the opportunity to give him a sense of the breadth and depth of the work being carried by the Youth Diversion Project here.
The Youth Diversion Project in Kerry is a strong and well-developed intervention, grounded in practice, informed by evidence, and marked by innovation in how it supports young people and families. It is part of a broader continuum of supports provided by KCYS, and it depends on strong collaboration across teams, services and community partners to make a real difference in people’s lives.
It is also important to acknowledge the Department’s continued commitment to youth justice. The policy direction in this area has been a progressive one, and that has created space for work of this kind to develop and respond to need in a meaningful way.”
The visit highlighted the scale and complexity of the work being carried by the KCYS team, and the importance of sustained investment in youth work responses for young people and families.

Representing the Killarney Municipal District at Sunday’s Assess Ireland Rally of the Lakes launch, Cllr Niall ‘Botty’ O’Callaghan praised the enduring partnership between the Rally of the Lakes and the local community.

For the O’Callaghan family, the event is deeply personal; they own and operate the Failte Hotel on College Street, a landmark business that has grown alongside the rally for decades.
Cllr O’Callaghan noted that the history of the Failte Hotel is inextricably linked with the rally’s heritage, serving as a hub for competitors and fans since the early days of the event.
He said that the rally has become a vital part of the fabric of Killarney life, providing a massive economic and social boost to the town. “The rally has been part of the hotel’s history as much as the hotel has been part of the rally’s history,” he told the gathered crowd, expressing his pride in seeing the tradition continue.
He welcomed the organisers and sponsors to Gleneagle, wishing the event continued success as it remains a cornerstone of the Killarney sporting calendar.
