Entertainment in Kinsale

  1. Bulman

    Always worth the stroll, the pub matches the restaurant in salt-tinged allure.

    Spaniard Bar & Restaurant

    The food is good, but the real appeal of this old pub (it feels like it dates back to the Armada) lies in the quiet corners, where you can smell the peat fire and catch fragments of hushed conversations that could be about smuggling but are likely to be about sport.

    An Seanachai

    This cavernous, barnlike pub has traditional music sessions most nights.

    Bacchus

    This nightclub has a breezy, youngish crowd at weekends, with live bands on Fridays.

    Acton’s Hotel

    This modern hotel is charm-challenged, but its Waterfront Bar stages terrific Sunday lunchtime jazz sessions (April to October) featuring the famous Cork City Jazz Band.

    De Teac

    The pub menu has gone a hair upmarket, but this is still a rollicking local boozer, where locals prance in and out as if it were their living room (actually it is) and the regulars all their family.

    Harbour Bar

    Romping home in Kinsale's 'most unusual bar' stakes, this is like being in someone's front room. Battered old sofas, a fire stoked in the hearth, characters in every corner and benches with water views in the garden are all part of the charm.
