Opened in 1899 by Tom MacDonnell, stationmaster at the Tralee & Dingle Light Railway. From day one a pub-and-grocery — Tom added a leather workshop because he reckoned travellers into Dingle might need their boots seen to.
After Tom's death in 1938 the pub passed to his son Richard — 'Dick Mack' — who established the boot store. The 'k' in 'Mack's' was added for aesthetics when the name went up over the door.
A dual-function bar that still serves as it began: beer and a fine selection of whiskeys on one half of the room, leather workshop on the other. The leather counter remains in active use.
Robert Mitchum drank here while filming Ryan's Daughter on the peninsula in 1968. Dick Mack later created a Hollywood-style 'Walk of Fame' on the pavement outside — star slabs naming the pub's celebrity visitors. Among them: Julia Roberts, Sean Connery, Robert Mitchum, Dolly Parton, and the Antarctic explorer Tom Crean (a Kerry man).
