We held a rehearsal dinner for my daughter’s wedding at Kilarney’s and every aspect of the evening was outstanding. Greg the server assigned to our party went over and above expectations to make sure everyone was taken care or all evening. Nicole handled the booking and was fantastic as well especially with several members of party having special dietary needs all of which were accommodated. I would highly recommend Kilarney’s for you event or just a fun evening out. Thank you Kilarney’s for making our night special!

Was craving a full Irish breakfast and this place delivered. Wife got a wrap and the fried chicken and deviled eggs appetizer which was really good too. Kids enjoyed their meals too.

We love coming here for a quick bite to eat or a sit down dinner! The food is excellent and the environment is so welcoming. As a local this is our go to spot and the bar tender Allison remembers our drink order every time. She is so pleasant and efficient. We always recommend this restaurant to people that are coming to visit, it is one of our favorite spots especially with the outside patio it’s perfect for nice weather and the summertime.

Food was yummy. One man band was talented and pleasant to listen to. It is a little loud depending where you sit but definitely will be coming back here again. Waitress Alana was sweet as a can be and very attentive. Oh, and they pour a nice pint of Guiness.

My wife and i have been coming here for years. Always a five star review, but this review is about the dueling pianos that were playing on the outside patio on 5/28/26, Thursday, 0 stars for them. We asked them to play a song and they said they were not sure if they could. We waited awhile and decided to leave, it was getting late 9pm. As we were walking out, the younger guy was making comments over his mike that they could play the song but are waiting for me to put money in their venmo account. I also heard them say, look at them running out the door!,i I guess they are not going to pay. We have seen this venue before at your place with different performers and they are very good. I had every intention of tipping them if the played the song in cash. But to ask me for money before they will attempt.. it is rude. I'm 65 years old, have never had that happen to us at any place we have ever visited. There was also other patrons in the patio that we personally know, how embarrissing. They get paid by you correct? We just wanted to let you know about this. Maybe you should not invite them back. Thanks

Killarney’s Publick House is one of Central Jersey’s best neighborhood bars — lively, welcoming, and perfect for a relaxed night out with friends or family. The classic Irish-American pub atmosphere makes you feel right at home whether you’re stopping in for drinks, dinner, or Happy Hour. The bar pours a perfect pint and has a solid craft beer and cocktail selection. The food is consistently tasty — everything from shepherd’s pie to burgers and wings — and the service is friendly even when it’s busy my bartender Gisela was attentive and on point. Definitely a go-to for good drinks, hearty food, and a fun crowd!

Early dinner on the outdoor patio was perfect. Killarney Carver is a tasty sandwich. Atmosphere is great, food is good and so is the service. Definitely recommend if you're in the area.

I had my husband's 50th birthday catered but Killarney's. The food was amazing. Everyone kept asking where I got it from. We had the roast beef, pulled pork, Guinness wings, Cajun chicken pasta, cobb salad and green beans. Everything was so tasty and amazing. Thank you for everything.
