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.

    Highly recommended for a nice pint (or more) of Murphy’s and some genuine local colour.

    We watched the All Ireland Hurling final with a room for of dedicated hurling fans, a great way to spend a relaxing afternoon in Kinsale.

    My wife and I had the delightful experience of dining at The Bulman in Kinsale. Nestled in a picturesque setting, this gastro pub encapsulates the essence of Irish charm.

    From the onset, the ambiance, with its traditional décor and cozy feel, set the stage for an unforgettable evening. As for the food, it was nothing short of spectacular. Each dish was a harmonious blend of local flavors and innovative culinary techniques. The freshness of the ingredients was evident in every bite.

    Service was another standout aspect of our visit. The staff were not only professional but also genuinely warm and attentive, ensuring our dining experience was seamless.

    For those in Kinsale seeking an authentic, gastronomic delight, The Bulman is an absolute must-visit. It's more than just a meal; it's an experience that lingers long after the last bite. Highly recommended!

    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.

    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.
