Kinsale’s newest cocktail bar just announced a dog-friendly Sunday Brunch

It’s time to reassess your weekend plans.
If you haven’t already heard the buzz, Kinsale’s newest neighbourhood wine and cocktail bar, All Apologies, officially opened its doors on Pier Road late last month.
Brought to life by legendary hospitality duo Charlie and Bren O’Sullivan, it’s already cementing itself as the spot for epic marina views and pristine summer vibes.
But if you thought they were just about late-night dancing and gorgeous small plates, think again. All Apologies is officially launching a brand-new Sunday Brunch, kicking off this Sunday, July 5th.
The Lowdown
This isn’t your average, run-of-the-mill avocado toast situation. For €50 per person, you’re getting a full-blown four-course set menu that kicks off the right way—with a welcome drink on arrival. You can take your pick from a crisp Mimosa, a spicy Bloody Mary, a refreshing Michelada, a summer Spritz, or a non-alcoholic option.

The best bit? The brunch menu is served throughout the venue, including its sun-soaked and fully dog-friendly outdoor terrace.
Who’s Cooking?
The kitchen team at All Apologies is stacked with serious talent.
