WITH many pubs, restaurants and hotels welcoming back customers this week, Tralee Rugby Club is offering a new venue for the public to enjoy during weekends this summer.

There has been a refurbishment of its club facilities at O’Dowd Park in Ballyard, with the opening of a new bar and terrace on Friday night.

The club has partnered with Style Catering Food Services to provide a BBQ menu offering an outdoor spot to dine with family and friends.

Kelly’s Bar, named in memory of the late former club president Seán Kelly, boasts an expansive terrace overlooking the Tralee Rugby Club pitches and officially opened on Friday evening

The interior refurbishment, which will be open to customers from July 5, was created by Donie Daly, the artistic mind behind the recently refurbished Mall Tavern and Molly J’s courtyard in Benners Hotel.

Commenting on the new premise, Rob Durran, head of development at Tralee Rugby Club said; “We want this venue to be a home for all the community and not just our club members. This is a great new outdoor dining option right in the heart of Ballyard, so we hope to welcome all of our neighbours and indeed everyone across the town and county itself over the coming weeks and months. We’re excited to open this weekend in what promises to be a great few days of sunshine.”

Kelly’s Bar & Terrace is open on Fridays and Saturdays from 6pm-11pm and on Sundays from 4pm-10pm. Scroll down for photos…
