Sams Bar in Kinsale

Great and popular Kinsale "local".

Had a nice pint of Guinness here. Friendly staff and customers. They also have a small but nice outdoor seating area. Nice music, not too loud but still loud enough to create a good vibe. Beware of the rule of non-paying customers not being allowed to stay. It looks like even if you're a part of a paying group but aren't getting anything for yourself, you'd be asked to leave.

Easily the best local pub in Kinsale. The owners are great craic, and the pint of Guinness the best in town by a country mile. Really enjoyed the couple of nights that I spent here.
