Well its not really Irish in as much as Irish owned and stuff like that But the attempt is good. I enjoyed a few drinks here on three occasions to Guilin. So no real complaints. Bar staff were pleasant and cool beers were good, what more would I need.

The bar is near Sheraton hotel and has indoor and outdoor tables. The landlady always stays in the bar. She required attendants to peddle in order to catch their attention. I was not into this kind of way attracting customers. It's a little offensive. Just a smile and greatings can be enough. Yep, the son of the landlady is extraordinary... More

As an Irishman I'd have to say I was a bit disappointed. Firstly there was no Guiness on tap. Secondly there was no Irish flavour at all to the menu. There were more German beers than Irish. There was live music intermittently, not bad as chinese singing goes. I watched Premier League football there, although at one point they started... More

The beer selection is good but i highly doubt this is a real foreigner bar. The waitress spoke English, but she was not good at telling the truth. She said the pizza was good, but it was terrible. the toppings were under globs of cheese and uncooked, there was no sauce. She said we should book our tours through the... More

The place is clean and the staff is great. the drinks are cold and they are accommodating. We wanted only a glass of a wine not offered by the glass, but they did it for us. The atmosphere is nice there and there is live music every evening. the fries are great and the garlic bread was okay!

A restaurant? it'll always be Kevin's' Bar to me although he changed the name a few years ago now, it still retains a good atmosphere in the evenings and a good escape from the hustle/bustle of outside during the day. I must be honest and say i have never eaten there although i have consumed far too many beers there... More

My wife and I had a poor experience. We went there for some cold beers and snacks followed by dinner. Music was very depressing ranging from classical to Lionel Ritchie. Spicy wings were hot outside but frozen inside. Based on the chewy skin I am quite sure it was cooked, then frozen and badly re-heated. We had to leave them... More

My friends and I ate outside and receive good service. The beer was good value and the pizza was delicious. Lots of expats and locals sitting outside and enjoying a mixed menu. Definitely worth a visit.

Great selection of Western and Chinese food and drinks, not too pricey. Nice clean environment with live bands some nights... and they accept Visa.
