The bar is fairly small with most of the tables for 2-4 people so it's probably not well suited for big groups.

There's a selection of 6 beers on tap, plus bottles, liquor and even a few wine choices. What more could you want?

This is the second time this has happened. if I were a member of an outside community i would absolutely be taking these muppets to court for discrimination and deformation of character. The owners and staff of Allens bar lack in education and respect. There must be something really wrong with these people I hope they seek help from a medical professional. (Guy with glasses needs major haircut). I genuinely would not recommend this dive of a bar to a deaf mute or the Bundle of hillbilly's they attract. I will say a prayer for these people.

It was busy but we were greeted by other customers and guided to the back. They have Murphy's, Guinness, Cokes, Smithwicks and Heineken on tap. We ordered a Murphy's and Guinness (since we are tourists) and they were creamy and nice to enjoy. The regulars made us feel right at home and we chatted the night away and spend way too long there. But we are glad we stopped by and enjoyed a small town Irish pub. Also, cash only. Bring your euros and stop by here for a pint and stay for the conversions.

I got the lasagna with chips & salad. The salad was delicious! Very fresh and tasty. Chips were hot and with a little salt were quite tasty. My lasagna was okay. I was really hungry so I ate it. If you are looking for a place I'd probably keep looking. It was okay but we we're in a bind and also needed wifi (it's free!!!) Overall it was okay. The prices were decent. A beer is about 4.50€. It's a cool little place to grab a pint. The Irish Coffee was very nice. So I'd stick with the pints and whiskeys.

We arrived here for the weekend and stayed the week. Free live music, pints for 3 euro in Ireland for God sake its unheard of. Boating, beaches, great restaurants, Kinsale has it all. This is like a local's secret as its not mobbed like some other venues. In general I found Kinsale very expensive however the Armada offered great value for money. Now its on my radar each time I go back. The bar staff are great, hopefully Yvonne will be working as she is full of craic, actually she was singing the last time I was in.

We arrived at 8:45 for a drink or two at the bar and the hostess told me that the bar seats were typically reserved! Mind you, there are only two women at a bar with about 10-12 chairs and they were paying their bill and preparing to leave! So I am glad they could "find room" for us. The bartender asked us what we wanted without a smile or a welcome. I asked for a rum and a Rose for my wife. I drank my rum and about 20 minutes later, was ready for another. I pushed my glass towards the bar, as one does when you want another, and our bartender, another bartender and the owner/manager walked past that empty glass about 8-10 times without any acknowledgment that we were sat there. The whole vibe in Kinsale seems to be annoyance at the tourists. And it was clearly on display here. I would suggest going somewhere where you are welcomed. We are the ones that fees that economy.
