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.

What travellers are saying
- pfefmeisterSan Francisco, CA2,849 contributionsLove 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.Written 13 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- CarlosCDSaint Louis, Missouri, United States30 contributionsExcellent 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.Written 24 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Darell TGilbert, AZ4 contributionsThe 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.Written 2 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Fun time, alas, no food.Written 13 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- DanielCincinnati, OH297 contributionsSeemed to be the most crowded spot in Kinsale. Live music was good covers and lots of people dancing. Quick bar service.Written 23 October 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- virginia70Virginia Beach, VA213 contributionsWe 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.Written 11 September 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- DanielCincinnati, OH297 contributionsStandard 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.Written 22 October 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- RoadWarrier99999Isle of Palms, SC506 contributionsDropped 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.Written 23 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - CaptainCastletown, UK226 contributionsNot somewhere i shall return to. Great potential but lacking so much.
If only the management invested
