The Bulman Review

Good Food, Great Staff And Service and a smashing pint

This is without doubt the best location in Kinsale to kick back relax soak up the rays and enjoy some great fish served by friendly and professional staff..

Cool location for sundowners. Seating right on the quay wall.

A real Irish Pub. This is what tourists travel from all over the world for. Great staff, great food and a great pint, with a great view - life is good.

All round excellent. Terrific fish, prepared with imagination and skill.

Great spot for lunch. Note you can't reserve a table in the bar

Had the mussels. Nicest mussels I've eaten. Service was great. Pints of Guinness was lovely. My wife and son really enjoyed their food too. Views outside with a drink were great.

Very nice pub that serves excellent food. It is in a beautiful cove just outside Kinsale. Have been going here for over 40 years so what more do I need to write?

Great food, great location. Really lovely pub and restaurant

This is one of the best located pubs in Ireland, right across from a small pier and with a lovely view. The staff are lovely and the selection of drinks excellent. What's not to like? Nothing, that's what.

Wonderful off the beaten path pub, great food and service

Great spot with AMAZING VIEW great service and FANTASTIC FOOD! Just LOVE THAT PLACE

Fantastic,great atmosphere,great food and super staff

Well done to All the Staff -they were up to there eyeballs this pm -Wedding Parties & they dealt very professionally with myself & my treasure for dinner & wine outside.
Never been to the Bulman before.
Thai Chicken Curry Awesome & fudge cake scrummy.

Had a lovely lunch after a long walk in a blustery day

Amazing place,nice view, can be approached from the see on zodiac. Nice food and drinks.

Stopped for a beer and a chat on a recent sunny day. The Murphy's Red was nice, the staff are friendly, the space outside is limited but what a view if you get a seat!

We decided against eating, the food didn't look too good.

Loved it!! Food and drinks were very good and staff very friendly !! Whole ambiance and area great!
I will definatly be back!

Super lunch today - service was great, food was simple, fresh and well prepared, staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Oysters are the best I have ever had - so fresh! Will be back as soon as I can!

Beautiful food in a lively atmosphere and set in a stunning location!

What a location :-)...lovely bar food, great owners,

Great stop after taking walk to fort from downtown Kinsale. Got there right when it opened and got a seat nesr the window. It got crowded quick. Food was good

Friendly atmosphere and less noisy than a pub.
Delicious meal.

Great great pub. Delicious meal. Attentive service. Quaint! We felt as snug as a bug in a rug! Recommended.

A great bar and restaurant with spectacular views across the water- the situation is really magnificent. The food was great and so was the atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Great meal and location! Enjoyed the waterfront after our lunch. Gorgeous

Gone downhill recently.
Floorstarf are awful, actually rude. Asked for bill 4 times over 15 minutes. A blonde girl using foul language and talking s*ite about customers in the open & the foreign guy with spikey hair just ignoring everyone. V
disappointing to experience this is one of my favourite restaurants.
Barstaff doing a great job.

The most perfect pub in Ireland. And apparently the whole world.

Friendly helpful staff and a beautiful setting, really enjoyed my visit there.

Nice view, wonderful Irish Coffee. Very friendly staff.

A very nice place and with a Spanish waiter (Jordi) who attends and advises you wonderfully

Excellent food and service from knowledgeable staff.

A great pub, outside the tourist area and yet very well visited.

Had the fish and chips to eat. The fish was in batter and it was not cooked properly.

At the same time pub less mythical but calmer and a good restaurant with elaborate and good dishes. Welcome and service at the top. I recommend.

Words can't do justice to this place. Just go. When it all comes together it is truly magical.

Got a beer here. A very special place with a nice view on Kinsale

Unmissable if you are in the south of Ireland . The vibe. The view. Le j'un said quoi

Very nice pub, nice people and good beer! There was also food and it looked delicious - but we didn't eat there

Fantastic little hidden gem..5 star food and lovely staff..Can't wait to go back

Great location outside Kinsale. Nice outdoor seating. Great views of the bay. We found them very accommodating for a post wedding party.

Nice food selection. Most of the staff were friendly. A great place to refuel on the Scilly walk.

Excellent food and service. Highly recommend the steak

Beautiful meal, great value and Fab view of Kinsale harbour from our table

Great food and atmosphere......Safe Covid guidelines

We visited on a Wednesday afternoon for lunch and sat outside. The service was slow but very friendly/helpful. The atmosphere was unparalleled a gorgeous view of the water. The food was decent, though a bit underwhelming given the price tag. The caprese salad had fabulous cheese and plenty of pine nuts, but the tomatoes were a bit mealy and there was a ton of liquid in the salad bowl. The biggest offense, in my mind, was the salmon dish. It was mostly just strange, a bean chili with a piece of pan fried salmon on top, with broccolini on top of that... just a bit odd. I would recommend ordering one dish at a time and probably skip the salmon dish altogether.

Great views & location, nearby Charles fort & on Kinsale harbor

Had lunch with the kids, friendly staff, great food and lovely ambience. Highly recommend.

Best fish I ever had. Ate in bar, so it was lively. Has Michelin Bib Gourmand. Well deserved.

One of my favourite pubs in Kinsale, nice to take your drink outside when the weather is good.

Greatest pub in the world. I could drink here every day (especially when the weather is nice) and die a happy man.

Super spot, great views of the sea and harbour whilst having a pint by the fire

The best place to eat in Kinsale.Good products; careful cooking.Very correct prices.

Outstanding fare upstairs, terrific bar down, wish we could go more often!

Lovely bar with great food and perfect views! Worth the walk up and down the hills!
