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.

    This was my first visit to any comedy club and it was amazing, Brian who runs the club is so welcoming and kind it immediately puts you at ease.
    On the night there were a number of comedians performing and they were all great. I would highly recommend it to locals and visitors alike.
    An amazing way to spend an evening.

    I booked an area with Colm and he made everything so relaxed and easy. We went to Costigans after we got married with all our friends and family. The staff on the day were excellent, so friendly and helpful. The finger food was delicious. It was a great day. Thanks again.

    Great bar with a very authentic feel. They also seem to make their own beer which was even rather good. All in all I feel very confident in recommending this bar

    Arrived with a group and have a spectacular couple of hours whiskey tasting and sampling Irish Coffees. The staff made it knowledgable and were very friendly. Top spot for Guiness and I don’t say that often. Well worth a visit !

    A historic pub down an alleyway, quite small inside and out but cosy and welcoming. Staff were friendly and we had a comfortable and enjoyable drink, Worth a visit for a pint or two.

    Stopped in on a Sunday night and absolutely loved this pub. Was very quiet until the live music began, then wonderful. The musicians sat at a table and encouraged everyone to chime in, and by the end of the night everyone was singing and dancing in one big group. Felt welcoming and extremely fun, like going out with people you’ve known forever, even family. Highly recommend!

    Imagine walking into a Neighbors front room , equipped with a bar & that’s where you have found yourself with the Hi Bi . It’s a Cosy bar with a great atmosphere on Oliver Plunkett street . It was particularly busy the night we visited , but a great buzz was palpable . Well worth a visit .

    Located on the docks in what is becoming a major spot in city with Goldbergs and The Sextant either side of it.
    Of the three very much a locals bar but friendly nonetheless.
    They like their sport especially the horse but since it is owner occupied it has its own quirks - they go big for Eurovision and love the magazine rack full of glossy travel mags.
    My mum & grandparents came from the nearby 'Jewtown' so love coming back here when in town.
    As you can see from pics a working pirt just outside.

    Had a great night at the comedy club last night. Well worth a visit, and something a little different for a night out. Mike the mc is really good at what he does and his passion really shows.
