Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Incredible craic in this pub on Saturday night, great atmosphere and the karaoke was brilliant, topped off by a surprise performance by Linda McLoughlin from Ireland’s Got Talent belting out Beyoncé. Proper old school boozer they even play the national anthem at the end of the night. 10/10

Typical Irish pub far from the frenzy of Temple Bar, therefore much more intimate and with more affordable prices. You are welcomed by two smiling and loving women, who make you feel at home, also due to the type of cuisine (excellent Irish stew, which I could define as more rustic than others I have tasted). There is often live music on the weekend. Highly recommended!

Popped in for a couple of drinks to get out of rain on way to Guinness storehouse. Nice little place to stumble into well set out and friendly staff. They do light bites though we did not have anything the food did look decent what I did see

Robbing non locals. Got charged over €6 for a pint. As I am a local who drinks there, bar girl who served me didn't know me, I knew something was up. The lad with me who always drinks there was charged the same, he questioned it. Turns out they were charging People,non locals, more because the vicar had an event on.
Charging extra because someone is not a local and going to an event is just robbery.

Great little local pub, full of locals and not many tourists. Great staff, lots of taps for drink selection, fun vibe, busy on Friday and Saturday night. Guinness Stew was delicious.

Nice spot, stumbled upon it walking on the street, seemed welcoming and it sure was. Definitely a local spot but that didn’t seem to bother anyone. Small, cozy space with a good amount of seating. Good, cheap, cold beer.. what more can you ask for?

Tom Kennedy's Bar was where we started our evenings before heading to Temple Bar area. Tom Kennedy's has an authentic Irish feel to it with great live Karaoke. Drinks are reasonably priced and its a great atmosphere and vibe. Recommend starting the night at Tom Kennedy's and then heading to Temple Bar neighbourhood (short walk or a quick cab ride).
