"A place you just need to experience!" Blarney Island is a fun place....some dates/events are better than others. Example: I was expecting a large crowd and fun for their 90's white-out party, and the crowd just didn't show up. Other weekends, there are crowds that scream "this is the place to be"
Blarney Island brings in great bands...Beyond The Blonde during Fantasy Fest was spectacular.
Above all, the staff is the the best part of Blarney Island...attentive, friendly, respectful...even when dealing with not-so-nice customers, always in a good mood...and I definitely have my favorite bartender (she rocks!!)

Horrible experience. I am a disabled military veteran and this place would NOT honor my service dog entering. I was kicked out of the facility after enlightening them that it is a federal law to allow me access to all public locations. As for myself and close friends and family, we all will not be supporting this facility.

We normally love Blarney Island but the band they had on Sunday, August 25th (Yabba Griffith) was absolutely horrible! They were supposed to start at 2:00 but didn’t start until 3:00. Actually glad they started late as their music was so bad that we left after about 20 minutes! Come on Blarney, you can do better than that!

Reading these reviews made me laugh, and the owner's reactions are so combative it's hysterical. I can't even believe it. Our experience was, uh... interesting. And very true to these reviews. I'm not even going to go into it but if you want a desperate, naked, 21-year - old experience, this is the place. No dogs allowed, and they are extreme about it. Free marketing advice cause I feel bad ... instead of an old wooden sign saying "no pets" ..... maybe put a cute friendly poster that says "we love our fur babies, and yours, unfortunately we cannot allow dogs/pets inside the venue per our insurance. Thank you for your understanding" Truthfully, our situation could have been handled differently. We are excellent customers, and word of mouth is everything. You can catch more bees with honey.... if you know what I'm saying. That's all. Wish you the best but we won't be returning.

I visited Blarney's Island for a private party. The "island" is a man made structure in the middle of the chain of lakes. The only way to get on the "Island" is via boat. You can drive your own private boat and dock free of charge or you can take a Blarney's shuttle boat that runs regularly back and forth to land about every 20-30 minutes. The shuttle boat holds about 40 people and costs $20 per person. Live music turned into DJ with dancing as the day turned to evening then night. The party was great and the crowd was very diverse and fun. Definitely worth a trip to see this one of a kind destination bar / nightclub.

Their food and service could improve. Overall fun place with some good bands. Their DJ is the best.

Absolutely a must place to experience. This place will not let you down. Looking forward to going again in a few days!!!

I went during blarney graw... Probably one of the most visually scaring experiences I've ever been to in my life.
Highly do not recommend. The manager and staff are very ignorant and rude. So many people cut in front of us and we had been waiting for 2 hours. You can even see from the ignorant “professional” comments she writes under the reviews yourself. And before she even tries to defend herself by calling me a “Karen” because of my name, I never write reviews but this experience truly makes my friends and I never want to come back. And before she tries to stereotype people who write bad reviews as “druggies” or “drunkies”, she should seek mental help herself because she clearly is undiagnosed and has issues? don’t even ask her for explanation because she won’t give you an answer for being a POS other than “bEcAuSe I sAiD sO”.

Great drinks, food, and music
Family friendly on sundays and the boat races
Years later, I take my kids to the races and try to visit on occasion. Always an experience

The experience itself is very nice. However, their customer service is less to be desired. I called weeks in advance to get some information on July 5th. I get a call back about 2 to 3 days later and it turns out I talked to somebody who didn't know what the heck was going on. I was completely misinformed, and it sucked because I was trying to inform 7 other people that were on their way. I was told that the boat rides were $5 on Fridays. When I arrive, I find out that I have to say "Will rock" just to get five dollars off and it was actually $10 (with that coupon code) to get on the boat. He also failed to tell me that we could only bring tiny purses. I had to text everybody who already driving there. Blarney's left me stressed out and annoyed. I was incredibly embarrassed and it left a very bad taste in my mouth. If you people are gonna bother calling me back days later, at least be able to provide the right information!

More non-fried food options would be amazing, everything fried was so greasy! When you are hosting boat races more seating would be nice so you can actually see what's going on. And really $15 per person to ride to the island then you pay an arm and a leg for drinks and food, $5. Per person would be more than enough to cover operating costs.
Great club atmosphere in the open, on the lake.
