We popped in here to eat, but were not overly hungry - they have a menu until 10pm and it is quite varied. We settled on pizza and garlic & cheese bread - sitting outside under the heaters with a band playing was very enjoyable, the service was quick and the food hot and tasty!!

I ate in this restaurant yesterday as out side it looks very nice. Once inside we were given our menus. The staff are friendly but lack professionalism. The menu could be good if the food lived up to standard. I ordered the fish & chips, a very simple meal to cook! When it arrived the chips where not homemade they... More

Dined here as part of a package deal. There was no room in the main restaurant so we were relocated in the Bistro. The Bistro had a nice friendly atmosphere which was accentuated by our lovely waitress. To start we had the chowder and the goats cheese. The chowder was excellent.

Stooped in for a couple of after dinner drinks... Great hotel bar right in the middle of Kinsale. Good service, good selection of whiskey and traditional music. Can't beat it if you are looking for a place a bit more comfortable then an Irish pub.
