  Great people watching in front along Western Avenue. Very small inside and I would not recommend spending much time in there. Not much more to say, other than it appeared to be the only Irish pub in Kennebunk.

  What do you get when a couple of Irish ex-pats open a pub in Kennebunkport?  Ryan's Corner House!  
  
  Ryan's is the perfect place to grab a pint... and you wouldn't believe the selection of Irish whiskies.  Wow!  They offer a nice selection of local brews, along with standards such as Smithwicks and Guiness.  
  
  The ceilings are extremely low, so if you're 6' or taller, consider yourself warned.

  Across the street from The Grand Hotel, a great local spot to grab a proper pint!  
  
  This is one of the few places open late here in town.  Careful if you're over 6'3"...ceilings are low....
  
  Only came for drinks post dinner, so not sure about the food.  But love the Irish pubmosphere...

  Kennebunkport overall is a very sleepy town. There are few places open past 10pm, let alone past midnight. This is due to the average age of the patrons of this little village being about 58 years old.
  
  Go into most bars and restaurants in the area and you'll probably see a lot people that look like your grandparents.
  
  Your grandfather left your grandmother to her knitting and went out to Ryan's Corner and shut the place down. At least that's what we found when we went there one Thursday night. Lot's of older dudes who had one too many Guinness and were either a) actually Irish or b) pretending to talk in Irish accents. Either way it was hilarious.
  
  The bartender was fast and the energy of this place far exceeded anywhere else. Come in, have a pint, and don't miss the interesting posters in the unisex bathroom!

  Get the lamb chops appetizer. In fact, order 2. Brilliant. Waitress was down to earth and friendly and a nice change from the upscale busy yuppy restaurants down the street. A bit of humble grit in the middle of an otherwise tourist town.

  The food was gross (dry and chewy chicken tenders), the service slow and forgetful, the only saving grace was the patio to enjoy the summer night.

  We had a nice lunch at Ryan's today.  Our server, Abby, was friendly and didn't forget a thing.  The kitchen seemed a bit slow but everything was delicious and worth the wait.  The only surprise to me was the lack of corned beef on the menu, but I'm not complaining.  Speed up the kitchen a bit and Ryan's would be perfect, but if the slowness is a deliberate attempt to create a relaxed atmosphere, don't change a thing.

  Stopped in for a Guinness during Prelude weekend.  Nice and cozy on a chilly day.  Well poured Guinness and friendly staff....will definitely be coming back to try the food when they reopen in the spring!

  Stopped in for drinks over Thanksgiving weekend.  The bartender was really nice.  The bar has a great selection of beers at a reasonable price.  In the summer they have a nice sidewalk patio.  They are located just a short walk from the bridge to Kennebunkport.

  We went here one rainy night while in Kennebunkport.  This place reminded us of home (Boston!) A good irish pub.   Cozy, casual, decent food.  I had the turkey burger - not so exciting.  But my husband LOVED his fish and chips.  I loved the atmosphere. (being pregnant I can't speak for the beer, but it looked good!)  There was a nice outside eating area, which looked like it would be fun on a nice day or evening.  I'd go back.
