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
- Peta PSidcup, UK507 contributionsCame in here one evening for a quick drink before heading back to the hotel.
All I can say is wow! It was like stepping into someone’s living room. Atmosphere was so good and a nice roaring fire along with 3 men playing instruments in the corner , singing and generally adding to the traditional Ireland experience.
I love Ireland and this little pub just added to our trip here. Would love to visit again and will do when I’m over visiting relatives.Written 22 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Upstairs very modern but most people stay downstairs - lovely venue.Written 12 October 2014This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Margie MBroomall, PA95 contributionsLovely place to relax and have a nice drink.
Clean, friendly, great service.
There's also a wine bar/ disco in the back.
And, there's a small shop attached with ice cream, snacks and a small off license.
Owners are very friendly. Well worth a stop if you are in the area.

Make them go to the designated smoking area please !!!!!!Written 8 February 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Audrey DScotstown, Ireland40 contributionsA wee gem. Brian and his staff are very welcoming. Had a great night all very friendly. Great for the other half to catch up with the rally family, Brian and Ciaran and the gang he hadn't seen since Donegal International. Excellent pub and great music will be back again. Thanks Brian and bar staff for the hospitality and a great night.Written 29 September 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- eileenog1 contributionWe have visited the Wolftone bar for years & have from the height of the troubles when it was a sanctuary for many at that time. I have had so many great nights there over this time & continue to visit when possible. However I6 family members visited on Sat night 22/7 & we were so disappointed at the attitude & rudeness of the two female bar staff. From the very first drinks order their attitude was rude & very unfriendly, we appeared to be a nuisance to them....this continued throughout the night. When one person in our group asked for a late drink he was refused by staff who contined to serve drink for "staff" and a select few others who I assume where "regulars" which is such poor customer service & just bad manners, unfortunately the bar Manager was unhelpful & did not appear interested. Thankfully the band saved the night & we danced & enjoyed the music. I just hope that poor management & staff are not the ruination of the Wolftone bar in the future as it would be a shame to see such a iconic place close like so many others!Written 24 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

How about " hello, what will you have " Just make the place seem friendly.Written 12 October 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
