Lovely furniture. Nice bright room. Had hoped to sit outside, but weather didn't allow. Great service (Tomas? I think) Really well constructed chicken & mushroom pie. Plenty chicken, succulent sauce and lovely creamy mash to top it off. Plenty veg on the side. Couldn't go wrong and they didn't!

Appalled by the attitude of the bouncer. Felt immediately threatened at the door with aggressive questioning of ID, every other word an explicit. Atmosphere inside was good, friendly crowd and attentive bar staff but night tainted by the disrespect upon entry. Won't be bringing company there again.

We ate here twice while staying at the Blue Horizon B&B. The food was very good and the service excellent. If you go back to a place you know it is good.

We stopped on the way to and the way back from Dinner.Live music in the evening although we didn't realise until we left as the musicians were hidden away in one of the side bars. Plenty of seating and good selection of drinks, Dis not eat although the menu seemed fairly good. Was a little dissappointed with the Beamish, did not seem to match previous experiences.

Had our thirtieth birthday meal here. The food here never disappoints. We all had the set menu and its great value. Garlic spuds are epic, although there could have been a choice of mash or roast instead of chips as my mom eats neither of these. The beg however was also lovely and there was so much of it. A great night, relaxed atmosphere, good company and good food.

Iâm not quite sure why anyone would think this place in any way resembles a âgenuineâ locals pub, not unless the majority of locals all speak with American accents. Thatâs not say thereâs anything particularly wrong with it, itâs in a good location and the food is certainly adequate. More disappointing is the selection of drinks, which is basically the same as in any other pub in Kinsale. It consists of the âtokenâ local beer, the KPA, from the Blacks Brewery, and then there's the usual mixture of mega-brands, often pretending to be something theyâre not. e.g. The tasteless Smithwicks âbrandâ is mass produced by Diageo at its Dublin brewery, alongside Guinness. As is Hop House 13, a âbeerâ which is shamelessly marketed as some sort of âcraft aleâ. So, if youâre happy to be surrounded by fellow tourists eating standard pub grub and drinking beer that mainly comes from a huge factory in Dublin then this place will be fine.

Love this pub! Staff are lovely, the craic is fantastic, drinks are fab, and the music and atmosphere are brilliant! We went in a second time for food and again they didn't disappoint!! Spicy chicken wings are best I've had, I had the burger and chips which was amazing, so juicy an cooked medium to well done. My partner had the fish n chips which he loved. Unfortunately we didn't stay for dessert or my Irish coffee as we were so full after dinner and had to get back to the hotel and pack ready for an early flight the next day. Highly recommend this pub and will be back ASAP. Thanks for a memorable time x

I really wanted to like this place. The food was well prepared and overall very good. Our server, however, had a real edge to her. You couldn't tell sometimes if she was kidding you or making fun of you. It was a little weird. Also, we were of the understanding that there was no tipping expected in Ireland. Their charge machine, however, was set up to ask for a tip. Then the person stood right over you to watch what you did while deciding. I have to ask myself if the customers had been Irish and not American would this screen have even been presented to them? It was a bit off-putting for all of us.

Called here for a quick Sunday lunch. Same menu and price in bar as main dining room. Very pleasant lady took our order and served us with a hot fish pie and cod and chips with leaves lightly coated with an excellent dressing; 2 glasses of a rather dry pinot grigio. All for â¬50

Gorgeous evening overlooking the water and setting sun with the vivacious Natasha providing us excellent service. Four of us enjoyed duck spring roll special for starter, together with menu item calamari, very lighted breaded and flavorful. Also chose specials for main, two of the crushed and seared tuna and two of a monk fish and scallop duo over just perfect risotto. Both outstanding. The location is a few kilometers from town Centre but worth the trip. Stairs to climb above the co located pub.
