A pub with a 150-year-old history and a rich seam of income streams in Kerry’s scenic Reeks District is on the market for €650,000.

The Climbers Inn in Glencar, beloved of hiking and cycling fraternities, is being sold as a going concern by owners who have built up the business considerably over the last decade.

Much more than just a pub, the 687 sq m premises on 1.4 acres includes a bar with commercial kitchen, a shop and post office, an accommodation block that can accommodate 26 people, including: a newly renovated eight-bed hostel dorm; a three-bed house for over-the-shop living/staff quarters; and a two-bed self-contained apartment, which is ideal for AirBnB.

The property also has a large camper van parking area and camping ground.

The Climbers Inn, which dates back to 1879, is one of the oldest walking and climbing establishments in Ireland.

Set in glorious woodland, in the heart of the Reeks District, it’s an ideal base for exploring the Macgillycuddy Reeks and the Kerry Way, said Darragh Burns of Jim Burns Auctioneers.

“When you look out the bar window, Carrauntoohil is straight in front of you,” the agent said.

“The pub has gone from strength to strength, it’s an excellent business opportunity, and we have the figures to back it up.”

In addition to a strong local trade, The inn benefits from a robust tourist trade, as walking tours of the Kerry Way pass the pub door.

The agent said bookings coming in for the year ahead are excellent and that the business has terrific potential.
