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.

    Great atmosphere, easy-to-find position, and the music: a sensational session by four musicians round a table, honest, true. I liked it a lot!

    Loved this place!! Great music and vibe. A bit hard to find as it's kinda hidden in an alleyway but I went with friends and family and we all had a good time.

    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 .

    Great range of beers and lovely historic pub. Great service too.

    The music is loud and alternative so you don't come here for a quiet drink though. There are a few outdoor seats in the alley outside which is next to a building site currently.

    So may not be everyone's cup of tea if looking for that 'Olde Pub' experience although we loved it

    A very traditional pub which has minimalist decor. Staff were friendly and the pub was clean.

    The pub has a good relationship with the restaurant next door and it is possible to bring food from there into Henchy's pub and eat it there.

    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!

    Arranged an afternoon stag day here at the weekend. Bowling, pool, table tennis and really good food for a reasonable price.

    Had a bar tab and wristbands to access the tab, all worked out well.

    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.

    Gret pub style bar, live music, authentic atmosphere. Authentic also mean a bit sticky tables from gallons of ciders and beer split, but that was something to expect. Really nice atmosphere. We travelled whole Ireland to get "finally" one bar/pub which is not a tourist trap. I hope so.
