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.

Best place in town for a night out by a mile. We went after the tubing and the place was packed. Music is excellent and I couldn’t get over the food. It tasted just like home (Ireland). Once Gary heard we were Irish he came...around and said hello to everyone. Nice guy.More

Gary’s! What a place! Very accommodating and had reasonably priced western food, the owner himself is an absolute legend and made us feel at home straight away. I’d recommend getting the burgers there for dinner, simple food done right. Later in the evening it brings...in a younger crowd and gets louder and a bit rowdier which is a perfect place to start if you’re thinking of doing the bar crawl.More

Go figure an Irish Bar in Laos, this bar is large and covers 2 levels, it has pool tables and TV’s playing sport (without sound) and modern music. The food was good and the service friendly. Thanks for playing the Rugby.

Great spot for a night out, it was lively every night we stayed in Luang Prabang without the extremes and excesses of other bars in Vang Vieng. They also do quite good food. We were a little bit worried about ordering a roast dinner and...banger & mash in Laos but honestly both were as good as you'd get back home.More

Met a couple on the tourist trail today that convinced me they were buying me dinner at this place. Not exactly my normal authentic cuisine, but I had a blast regardless. I am too old for the scene here, but my belly said thank you...for filling it with some western food to hopefully plug the flow if you know what I mean. Cold beers, and yes even Guinness if you want to pay the hefty price tag for an Irish fix.More

We drank here one night and was a good place to go out with many backpackers after a day of tours. We also ate here - prices are fairly reasonable but the food is excellent. The chips cheese and curry sauce for 45,000 was a...welcomed meal after many months traveling! There is also live sport being shown and the premier league was on multiple screens.More

Best western bar vibe in Laos spotlessly clean amazing value for money (embarrassed when we got the bill) super trained staff great true western food and a really caring western owner. Could not fault anything and the music is great too. Thanks to Gary and...the team. This little bar wants repeat business unlike many of the rest in tourist areas and Garry and the team strive to achieve this. Thank you so much.More

Gary Gary Gary, the best bar in the whole of Asia, Gary takes care of each individual that walks in to the bar and not a soul is left unsatisfied. I could not recommend this bar enough, live sport, pool table, darts board, fantastic drinks...(made to your liking in strength) and incredible food. The main attraction is Gary himself however who is the best bar owner we have ever met and we have drank at a lot of boozers. Go here and embrace all it has to offer.More
