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.

    10 days before our visit, Malzards was ranked #1 Irish Pub of the Year by Drinks Industry Ireland, so we had to go experience the buzz. And a buzz it was -- live ballads to a full house, quirky conversation pieces, wonderfully hospitable proprietor and team. It was a great place to visit and spend some time.

    Absolutely loved this bar, so different to the crap places that are around nowadays, you feel like you're stepping back in time to a beautiful artistic, majestic era, where people actually sit down, speak to one another, have the craic and a pint of Guinness. Met people from all walks of life there, can't wait to go back, highly, highly recommend

    Without a doubt my favourite pub in Kilkenny. Great atmosphere, lovely staff, great gigs. Perfect for a pint in the afternoon or for a night out out. Paul & Johnny are gentlemen.

    We were looking for live music, but unfortunately there was none that night… we had a drink and the whiskey was fine, but my wife wanted a vodka and cranberry, and was charged for both a vodka and a bottle of cranberry… not too cool… however, very nice atmosphere…

    This is one of our favorite bars in Ireland. It's quaint and homey, but loads of fun. I discovered it in 2005 and have visited several times since. Perfect drinks, wonderful live music, and excellent service! Don't pass up this true Irish bar!

    During a trip to The Hub Motorhome Park over the new Year we went to Doyle's which we love visiting and some of our fellow campers played a fantastic acoustic music session facilitated by Pat and Kyra of Doyle's......the craic was unreal the atmosphere electric and the locals all joined in. Great place to visit..open fire friendly efficient staff and beautiful surroundings.....

    A very lively spot and music playing and loud, boisterous crowd. Understaffed and no regular cleaning. While we were there, mandatory masks weren’t enforced, drinks had to be ordered via the bar and no social distancing was in place. This didn’t really bother us though and it was nice feel normal for a change.

    No better place to hide from the weather. It's got it all. Pool room, massive selection of beer and wines, heated beer garden with tv, live sport, off licence, pizza, and bucket loads of fun.
