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.

We had Day 2 of our wedding in James Griffin recently and had an absolutely blast. Their manager Shannon was so friendly and easy to deal with, from the point of booking to the day itself. We had our own private bar, and they even had a lovely personalised welcome sign and decorated the room with balloons. The food provided was delicious and there wasn’t a sandwich left. Later that night, a complimentary DJ was provided and kept the party going. Our guests really enjoyed the atmosphere, Guinness and music. We cannot wait to return and would highly recommend to couples looking for a place to enjoy a few drinks for Day 2 of the wedding.

Loved this pub. We walked the length of Trim looking for a nice place to sit and have a drink, this was the last place we went and thankfully we saved the best for last. Nice little books to sit in and a really warm atmosphere. Great place to go.

We made a couple visits to the James Griffin Pub while in Trim. Such a friendly staff with a terrific owner, Tom -- and amazing live music. We will be back on our next Ireland adventure for sure!

I had a wonderful time at the James griffin pub. The atmosphere of the pub was fantastic, attention to little details and decor was nice to see from a pub in a small town. Some of the most skillfull barmen and women. Best service I’ve had in a long time. Will definitely be back next year for some more cocktails!!

Fantastic pub! Spent a New Years here and it was a great venue to ring in the new year. There was live music, friendly staff, great food and good service. Also a lovely spot to cosy up on cold evenings for a more low key night. Couldn't recommend more highly!

Absolutely loved it here. We went for a few drinks on a very busy Saturday night. The staff are so friendly and very attentive. You will find the perfect pint of Guinness here! Great night in the James Griffin pub, was lovely to be out in a busy but safe space feeling like things are somewhat back to normal! Would highly recommend this pub.

Small country bar in the front and when you go through back door you're in another world. Huge area out back with few more bars. Fantastic bar. Don't miss visiting here if in Trim. Can't say enough about this place.
