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.

    Love these old Irish pubs, and this is one that does not disappoint. Like many, there is no food, but they pour a perfect pint of Guinness, and provide fun conversation with anyone sitting at the bar.

    Excellent see food and a spectacular view of Kinsale Harbor. Recommended by Irish friends. Specials are on a board and are most likely the best bet. Good wine list and attentive service.

    The nostalgia. History everywhere, reminds me of the one my Grandmother had Tapp's Tap.

    Met the owners, coming from the USA it reminded me of Cheers.

    We stumbled upon this pub just off the main drag, and were rewarded with a bustling scene of happy folks overflowing unto the outdoor patio out front. Fun time, alas, no food.

    Seemed to be the most crowded spot in Kinsale. Live music was good covers and lots of people dancing. Quick bar service.

    We stopped in late afternoon to have a whiskey tasting flight. This was our first experience with Irish whiskey and it was great fun. Bartender Alex is knowledgeable and did a fine job educating us. The bar has a good, funky atmosphere and was certainly the right place for our “school “. Most enjoyable.

    Standard Irish pub meeting all the expectations. There are plenty of tables in the side room or towards the back. Bar service is fast. They poured me a Shamrock Guinness which I heard was a bit of a tourist thing but the place was filled with locals.

    Dropped in for a pint after a drive from Dublin. We appreciated the chance to dip into a nice local pub and avoid the bus trip folks. A couple of nicely built Guinness’s for my sons and me, a reasonable chardonnnay for my bride and we left refreshed.
    Highly recommended.
