Pig’s Lane on College Street has become one of the first bars in Ireland to be recognised by the international Pinnacle Guide, earning a coveted ‘1 PIN’ status , the guide’s equivalent of a Michelin star for cocktail bars.

Only 61 venues worldwide were added to the Pinnacle Guide’s latest cohort on Wednesday this week.
The guide rates bars using a three-level PIN system: ‘1 PIN’ for excellent, ‘2 PINs’ for outstanding, and ‘3 PINs’ for exceptional.
This accolade follows Pig’s Lane’s recent wins at the Bar of the Year Awards 2025, where it was named Best Designed Bar of the Year, took bronze in Cocktail Bar of the Year, and last year was named Innovative Bar of the Year.
Opened in October 2023, Pig’s Lane is Killarney’s first subterranean cocktail bar, known for its creative drinks, locally sourced snacks, and live music.
It is part of the O’Donoghue Ring Collection and led by Managing Director Gemma Ring alongside world champion mixologist Ariel Sanecki.
Gemma said: “We are so proud to be part of Ireland’s debut in the Pinnacle Guide. Achieving a PIN involves a detailed assessment of every aspect of a bar’s operation, from the drinks programme and service to venue design, management, sustainability, and more. To be recognised alongside such incredible bars around the world, many of whom we admire deeply, is incredibly inspiring. This achievement is a celebration of our entire team and we couldn’t be prouder.”
