Superb pint of Guninness - what else can I say. Oh yes, everything I had expected of a traditional Irish Pub, lots to look at, friendly locals, great peanuts and the wonderful Mary. We visited on an out of season Tuesday afternoon but were made really welcome by Mary with her cuppa and Brian pulling the pints. Wish I could... More

This is my favourite pub in Kinsale. It hasn't changed much in 30 years( the first time I drank there was in the 80s). It is one of the last pubs that is owned and run by Kinsale locals. There are regular live music gigs and people have been known to dance too. It is a good place to have... More

This was the meeting point for the Kinsale Ghost Tour but is a must see destination in itself. It is a family run pub with a peat open fire and light fittings made from beer glasses and trays I kid you not! It is like a step back in time and also has a great collection of U.S. licence plates.... More
