I went in there for lunch before and found it to be a very interesting pub. All around the bar there is lots of ‘monk’ memorabilia scattered. We went in on a weekday afternoon and it was quiet. As you walk in there is seating to the left and the bar is ahead. We sat over to the right and surveyed the menu. Towards the back there is also a long narrow area and the toilets are down here. I ordered chicken curry and the others had a variety of dishes. I didn’t have a pint but i had a glass of coke and it was delicious! From my time in there it appeared to be a very interesting pub. I was informed that there is a bistro style restaurant up stairs. Even though it was quiet on our visit i would hazard a guess that it can get very busy inside. It’s not on the ‘Kinsale good food circle of restaurants’ so it is likely to be cheaper. Lunch was very enjoyable and i would bring my custom there again.
The toilets as stated are down at the back and were perfectly clean and inhabitable. It has the kind of name that attracts you to go inside. Kinsale has an abundance of excellent pubs and restaurants and this is one worth visiting.
Toilet rating: 8/10
Overall rating: 7 and a half/10
Final comment: We were in the Mad Monk at lunch time but i would think it’d be nice for a drink in the evening.
