This seemed almost a sports bar, with multiple televisions showing the game and a busy bar; but the food was quite good and the service friendly. A bit crowded even on a slow night, so they're doing something right!

The Restaurant was busy but our party of four was welcomed promptly, orders taken and served speedily, with style. The best meal of our week long stay in Ireland

Stopped in for lunch and stayed all afternoon! The owner, Michael, is also the Mayor of Kinsale and was an awesome guy. We felt right at home with his staff and the others at the bar. The food was great and the pubs central location was perfect.

We had heard that the Cork area, and especially Kinsale, was a fantastic place for seafood so we were looking for a fresh seafood lunch that wouldn't cost a fortune. This was perfect. Great seafood chowder, lobster, and (the highlight for me) mussels. The white wine cream garlic sauce the mussels came in was delicious. Good coffee as well.

My husband and I ate dinner here during a recent stay in Kinsale and were very impressed. Our food was excellent and reasonably priced. We felt very welcome there, even though we were probably the only non-locals. The service was quick and friendly. A nice, convenient location as well!

100e for a dpouble room with breakfast- really big room, spacious and comfortable. Friendly staff, very clean rooms, good breakfast and tasty food in the bar- great chicken wings and agood pint of Guiness- not recommnede for elderly or disable as it has a very steep climb of stairs to the rooms and no lift.
