Authentic Pub Craftsmanship

Kinsale Irish Pub

The Kinsale Irish Pub in Netuno Italy was opened on May 13th, 1995 and holds the title of the largest Irish Pub in Europe.

Designed, built and manufactured by the Irish Pub Company, the Kinsale features stunning handcrafted joinery, a magnificent bar and many internal shopfronts throughout.

Inspired by Kinsale in Co Cork, the McNally Design and Irish Pub Company team took inspiration from the town of Kinsale in Co. Cork. The exterior shopfronts are reminiscent of a street scene in Kinsale.

The post office, the haberdashery, a hat shop, a sweet shop, a fishing tackle shop all add to the character of this magnificent pub. Hand painted ceiling scenes depict Rome, Nettuno, Dublin and Kinsale.
