Lovely bar with an AMAZING atmosphere 😆 Cocktails are out of this world! I got the “Solero Mojito” and the “Raspberry Ripple” and I will definitely be getting them again 🍸 Music on speakers is very good & staff are so welcoming 👍🏻 highly recommend that you visit❗️ …
The best cocktails around Tralee and the cocktail garnishes are always so quirky! I'm never disappointed when I come here and the staff are brilliant. They make the Blasket what it is, their knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming. My favorite spot in Tralee!
