What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Seumus' Irish Bar & Restaurant is lauded for its authentic Irish atmosphere, hearty portions, and friendly service, making it a popular spot for both locals and tourists. While many rave about the quality of the food and the vibrant live music, some reviews mention that the filling in dishes like the Guinness pie can be dry and the portion size for ribs might be small.
"Authentic as it can be! You feel like being in Ireland. Super nice people arround (shared the table just with a local and learned so much about his home town). Food is super, beer fresh from the tab. Already book for the next day. Don‘t miss this place when you have a chance to get a space"

"Top little pub great atmosphere and staff that made sure your comfortable. Not much seating inside but would fill up fast on a busy night!
Menu is basic but filled with food that'd hit the spot with a cold beverage. I ordered the greenlip mussels and it was ok. It was just mussels, 2x bread with garlic butter and a bit of soup down the bottom of the bowl. Partner ordered the Guinness pie. Disappointed that the filling was dry rather then a slightly gravy filling. The jalapeno poppers are amazing, the best ever we have tasted! Would definitely recommend anyone to pop in and grab a glass and a feed."

"Awesome place, I highly recommend stopping here when in Picton. They have great onions rings, fries, burgers and sandwiches. Excellent Guinness on Tap and if you haven't tried the Bailey's slushy, get two..."
