Food Scene

Jumbo's is a fast food restaurant, popular with locals. It is open seven days and until 12:30am during the week, and later at the weekends, so it is a quick and handy option. More importantly the food is excellent and reasonably priced, and the staff are friendly and helpful. The Snack Box with Stuffing and Coleslaw/Curry is a local favourite.

Drinks & Nightlife

No trip to Listowel is complete without stopping for a Pint of the Black Stuff (or a shandy) in John B's. One of Listowel's best known writers, the bar is adorned with film and theatre posters from productions of his work. During summer months there is Free Pub Theatre on Tuesday and Thursday evenings which is very entertaining. A lovely peaceful pub, perfect for a quiet pint and having an interesting chat with a local.

Arts & Culture

Find out how a Monorail system designed for use in the desert and inspired by pack camels ended up running between Listowel and Ballybunion from 1888-1924. See black and white footage from that era and take a trip on the train. Interesting and fun, and run by knowledgeable volunteers.

Parks & Nature

Well kept garden off the main park with beds representing the member states of the EU - good for a nice peaceful stroll. The Garden of Europe is also host to Ireland's only Holocaust Memorial Monument.
