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.

Lovely little pub, very cosy inside. The batman was very friendly and helpful. Great range of gins including some local ones, so my wife was happy! Just a handy note to remember: this is a cash only establishment, so hit the cash machine before you enter.

Great atmosphere. Superb drinks. Everything we’d hope in a traditional bar………but we were hardly made welcome. Our English accents? Never judge a book by its cover.

Lovely central bar with friendly staff and customers. I thoroughly recommend it for anyone who visits Kinsale and fancies a great pint of Murphys.

Came with a few friends as the bar was recommended by a shop owner, did not disappoint!! Lovely staff behind the bar. Came in both nights we stayed and they couldn’t have been nicer. Would come back.

Went into Sams last night for a few drinks after dinner on a girls weekend, both customers and staff were very friendly & engaging, great selection of Irish Gins and Irish tonics... Good banter in a local pub welcoming to visitors

Anthony the owner could not be more than welcome. Graham, another fella behind the bar could not be more accommodating! Amazing service throughout, I would recommend to anyone visiting Kinsale

A good traditional Irish bar with a great atmosphere. The outdoor seating area is comfortable. The staff could not be more friendly and helpful. Certainly recommend.

Found the staff to be unwelcoming. Also found the staff to be unfriendly. It you are looking for a nice Irish pub, there are far better choices in Kinsale.

Small pub with great atmosphere. We ended up here close to the end of the night but caught the end of a music session. The locals seemed friendly and there was plenty of beer. Wish we had stopped in earlier. It was less crowded than some of the other bars but definitely had more atmosphere.

We visited Saturday night. Staff very friendly and helpful. Musician was excellent. Very authentic Irish bar. One downside was the door between the smoking area was open and smoke filled the bar area which made it very uncomfortable.
