The Wharf Tavern & Terrace
Whether it’s morning coffee, lunch, dinner, a special celebration or a family occasion, this spectacular setting provides the quality of food and level of service that has given Kinsale its reputation as the Gourmet Capital of Ireland. With a unique nautical feel designed by local yacht-designer Rob Jacob, the portholes, decking and rope-wound galleon masts provide a new twist on the traditional Irish pub.
Once you’ve stepped aboard, you can select from a wide range of cocktails, wines, whiskeys, specialty coffees and craft beers. You can either enjoy them in the comfort of our beautiful bar or take them out to our sheltered terrace and have them al-fresco. When you’ve whetted your appetite, you can enjoy some of the incredible food that comes from the kitchen. The team of leading chefs use the finest locally sourced produce to craft menus that perfectly balance new dishes with old classics. From delicious light bites and gourmet sandwiches to succulent prime Irish steaks and harbour-fresh seafood.
