The Bulman Review

Very popular. Either get here early or be prepared to wait for a table. Food and service excellent.

Fantastic location, warm and welcoming place, fresh and delicious fish, fair price and friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended

We cannot say enough about our experience at the Bulman. It is a beautiful, authentic pub with great service and amazing food. One of the true highlights of our trip. And the Beamish was great too.

Great pub! Delicious food, nice atmosphere, friendly servers. Had lunch there today & went back for a late pint & dessert this evening!

Great place ... Convivial, good food and especially good beers

Favourite pub in the world. Always friendly staff and watching people trying to park in the car park is endless fun

If you are looking for a local like feel pub/restaurant this will be your place to GO !!! Perfect for a data, dinner, coffee or just few pints with lads. Great view and on a summer day it is just great to sit down in the sun and relax!!! Food is great as well !!!

Good food and nice cozy interior, not many options on the menu, lots of fish dishes

Lovely bar with water side location. Nice staff and good food. No better place for a stop off and refuel on the way to Charlesfort.

Great variety on menu; fab meal; amazing desserts; lovely atmosphere and warm, helpful staff. Thank!

Lovely village location on seafront good food n service

One of the most authentic pubs you can find in Cork. With a great spread too!

Excellent service and recommendation from our dinger of a waitress, followed by gorgeous food, made all the more enjoyable being at a table inside an upstairs window, allowing warm sunshine in and providing fantastic view of the bay. Very enjoyable family outing. Would highly recommend! Will be back.

Perfect location to grab a drink and some food before or after visiting Charles Fort.

We ate in the restaurant. Food was cooked nicely, service was good but all four of us said the flavours were bland. We would be back for a pint downstairs but wouldn't be eating there again.

Absolutely fabulous. Great food and drinks and service. . And heatwave weather to top it all off.

Great pub, very busy, on the road from Kinsale to Charles Fort.
Good food and good choice of beers

Busy , friendly staff and decent food. Great view and a nice stop on a lovely walk.

Top class food and pet friendly, had our JRT with us and he was allowed in the bar with us while we had our meal.

Perfect spot with a sensational view of the bay and delicious food. Kinsale Powaaa.

Worth a visit ,atmosphere food service you leave with a warm glow

Beautiful New Year's Eve spent in the Bulmans Bar Kinsale

Lovely spot in Kinsale. We went to the restaurant on the first floor - great service, one of the best fish and chips I ve had in a long time and delicious lobster. A must if you re in this part of Ireland.

Excellent gastro pub with fantastic choices for everybody. My friends and I had a great time, specially during the storm Emma, it is very appreciated that they opened during times of peril, .

The beautiful place, the delicious food, and the very friendly waiters !!! We recommend it!
The monkfish is special !!! And the house burger !!!

Somewhat impersonal, crowed experience. But beautiful location!

Some of the best ribs around. Their signature rib sauce has to be tasted. Friendly and professional staff.

Lovely as ever...quick walk from kinsale town...coffee and baileys looking out to sea....no better place to be...excellent

Lovely atmosphere. Nice staff. Birthday party with family

Excellent restaurant, located across from Fort James. Also recommended if you just want to drink something. Then you sit on the quay wall and enjoy the sunset.

Really love this place. Lovely bar in a lovely setting. Perfect place to eat out.

A unique Irish Pub with a view. Walk there from town to earn that pint and enjoy the views.

Great good food and service
Excellent fish and chips.

Best pub in the country. If the weather is bad sit by the fire and chill out. If the weather is good sit outside with a bottle of stonewell cider and chill.

Great bar with tasty specials on the food menu and nice, chilled atmosphere even when bustling with customers.

I dined at the Bulman recently had a delicious meal of mussels and chips, the setting is really beautiful and the bar itself is super relaxed. Here's the view from outside.

What a fantastic team in the bar!!

We ate on New Years Eve in the bar, four adults and three little ones. The manager couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. His upbeat attitude clearly rubbed off on his team too with each one of them flashing us a smile and accommodating our every need preemptively.

Considering it was a busy busy bar and with a long night ahead of them we were so impressed watching the happy team whiz around working well together and providing great service.

Exceptional service and delicious food and beverage.

Tuts is a little bit oit id the way bur wrll worth three walk or ride. The mussles were memorable and delicious. The portion was quite generous. The service is wonderful as they called a cab for us as we were ready to leave. They had a good choice of non-alcaholic beer. The bathrooms were clean and tidy.

Great pub or a good pint and a nice dish facing the bay after a hike. Address must with reasonable prices.

Nice sea view and tasty lobster with the local stout - well recommended!

Amazing food, beautiful building, stunning views and the best service I've ever had. Just go!

Wasn't there. Stop annoying me with places I haven't visited in over a year

We had excellent food in lovely surroundings and for a very reasonable price. This used to very "gormet" and you would leave hungry. No such problem this time - servings were more than ample and we loved everything we were served.

Absolutely lovely pub and restaurant with a wonderful view of the bay. We were upstairs in the main restaurant and the staff were friendly and accommodating whilst food was excellent. There was a specials board alongside the main menu with had an array of fresh seafood dishes. The menu also has a land section for the non-fish eaters I was torn for choice but was delighted in the end with my Thai Crabcakes to start and Monkfish & Scallops for main. Apparently the oysters with bloody mary shots were amazing too and massive thumbs up to the Sticky Toffee pudding as well. All portions were huge so we were happily stuffed by the end of the meal. Would definitely recommend!

Always great food and the location is relaxed and welcoming

Great vegetarian lasagne, even side salad was really nice

The setting is amazing. Nowhere else like it. They need more staff though, as when it's busy it is a nightmare to get a pint.

Food and atmosphere were wonderful. Great place to meet friends. Highly recommend.

Very nice meal in a warm cosy environment on a cold, wet and windy day. Nice friendly staff.

Excellent food! We stopped by here without a reservation at about 6:15pm & they were more than willing to try to accommodate us even though the place has about 10 tables. The view is amazing -overlooking the Kinsale harbor. I ordered the More

The Bullman is an outstanding pub and restaurant, situated in Summercove, about one mile from Kinsale town centre, on the road to Charles Fort. Do not miss out on this experience. Right on the sea front, with spectacular views, lovely fires, and very well adorned with memorabilia from the past, it boasts excellent bar food and a first class restaurant upstairs. The proprietor is there all the time, welcoming guests and ensuring that the high standards are maintained at all times. Mary has hand chosen staff who are efficient and friendly. You will not regret your experience. Very busy so book the restaurant. For bar food, get there early at lunch time. So popular that it is full on most days, even in the winter. Go on and experience the classy, lovely place. Everyone else does. For me, sea food chowder made fresh ever morning, is the best I have ever experienced.

We visited at lunchtime on a balmy January Saturday. The place was buzzing and we were told there would be a ten minute wait. A table soon became available and we were seated at a spacious table with a sea view. My wife had the crab open sandwich and I had tuna with wasabi mash. We ordered fries as a side. Everything was delicious. As good and enjoyable a meal as I've eaten in ages. Really good quality fresh food cooked simply. Not cheap - fifty euro for the above food with a pint for me and a glass of wine for her nibs - but excellent value for the quality of the fare, ambience and service.

Fabulous food , lovely cosy atmosphere, could have settled in for the night.

Wish I could give more than 5 stars! Best spot for great pub grub and a Guinness. The best smoked salmon you'll ever have!

Fab food and the nicest waitress ... really made our rainy sunday shine ... 5 stars every time

Love the Bulman. Great food. Lovely atmosphere. Cool in Summer. Cozy in Winter. A treat anytime of year. Oysters amazing
