Great Irish family owned establishment! Very busy for the special holiday. Food was yummy! Everybody was easy to talk to and get our orders straightened out. Kevin and his sister were very customer service oriented. Made you feel at home. You can tell they are family! Thanks guys!

Service is not efficient you have to go to the bar to pick up your food and place an order. The people that work there are nice but they are overworked. The food is just meh! The lagger was very flathead as well. I don't know if they are not experienced in getting a nice head on pouring anyways, if you like a small vibe that you have to get up and manage your service then this is the place for you they can get very crowded with the locals, we didn't stick around for the live music because they were supposed to start at nine but they didn't start till 945. As soon as they started, we walked out the door.

Service was a 1. Cleanliness 1. Food was a 3. Ambiance 3-4 depending on what you want out of a pub. I think Griffins is probably about expectations so don't have much in the way of expectations and you might be pleased.

The atmosphere was amazing on a Friday night. Drinks and food were good at a reasonable price. And the owners are great people.

Fun and the best of the Irish pubs! I particularly enjoyed the siders that they have that they switch out now and then. well the menu is not lengthy. It is definitely exceptional, especially for pug food! I happen to order a sandwich called, "The Cooley" which was corn beef on sweet bun and potato wedges. It was absolutely delicious and probably the best corn beef sandwich I've ever had.! Add the Golden State cider I had on tap and it was a lovely little dinner. Locals provided wonderful conversation and I will definitely be back with friends!
Was a nice pleasant place to spend time there with a few friends had a late dinner Which was really good Id visit this place again soon!! Overall i give this establishment 5 Stars !!!

SAY NO TO HOMOPHOBIA AND HOMOPHOBIC REMARKS BY THE MANAGER OF GRIFFINS OF KINSALE! Last Thursday, January 11th, 2024. I was refused service for over 45 minutes after ordering a pint of beer. The pint never came. The manager was the person who walked by me several times saying to me "just a minute" within that 45 minute time frame. Frustrated, I went to the bar to ask if my bill was squared up, and asked why I had not received my pint. The check was presented to me, and I asked for the bill to be comped because of the poor service. Another bar tender said he would take the price of a beer off, but I continued to ask why I did not receive the pint after 45 minutes. That's when the manager told the bartender "charge him double". I went to put on my jacket and satchel bag because I was shocked. That is when the manager said "take your purse and get out of here you faggot". I then said, "so I'm now a faggot"? The other bartender said "you don't have to pay for the bill". This is after he told me that now he was getting "pissed off" at me. A customer who was sitting close to the scene said something to me and told him to mind his own business. I was then escorted escorted out by the other bartender and that customer whom I told to mind his own business, and told to never come back. I am appalled at what transpired from the incompetence and insults from this manager, and the other bartender as well. I have never had a problem at this bar before, and have occasionally come in here for over 15 years to get tap pints from Ireland that are difficult to get. There is NO PLACE FOR HOMOPHOBIA, and the manager should be fired so no one should be insulted by this man ever again! He needs to learn that actions have consequence. This review is my testimony. SHAME ON THIS BAR!
