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.

- DanielCincinnati, OH297 contributionsSeemed to be the most crowded spot in Kinsale. Live music was good covers and lots of people dancing.

- 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, SC520 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.
