Warm friendly atmosphere. The people we very nice, and engaging. The food was delicious! Soo glad we stopped in.

This was our favorite pub and restaurant in Kinsale. The food was delicious, and the serves in both the restaurant and the pub were wonderful. Everyone was friendly and helpful, and the traditional music was terrific.

Lovely olde worlde pub with open fire, great reasonably priced food and sawdust on the floor! As authentic as they come!!

Great atmosphere, with open fires and great local characters. Restaurant menu is excellent always a great night out. Make sure you visit
