Loved it, what a great spot. Jim is a great host and the music selection is fabulous. Would come here again anytime. Jim has a great selection of drinks available and this pub is also close to the train station.

Great choice of drinks and music on the Juke Box. Owner Jim is excellent with his stories and Banter. Honest hard working pub doing their best in tough times . Will be back .

This bar has a juke box and it's brilliant to have a few drinks and listen to the choices being played. A great atmosphere and a local institution. Jim always there with a tale or two. A must visit for a step back in time in an old style bar.

Fab boozers with a superb selection of drinks. Landlord Jim is a super host that makes you welcome. Vintage feel in the bar with an artdeco vibe. Vintage Tennents glasses make you feel young again. Must visit.

Some lovely whiskys and great fun chatting with the regulars. The owner Jim also doubles as Greenock’s very own Ringo Starr. Whole heartedly recommend.

We visit the pub on our boys away days. We are never disappointed. There are a few regular characters propping up the bar who are happy to have a bit of banter with us. Jim the landlord is a true Gentleman. Great selection of drinks. Whisky and wine selection is particularly good. We will back to see you in the next few weeks.

I’m 56 and old enough to enjoy a vintage pub. A real pub no discos no hot food but a landlord Jim who knows his clientele. Great range of drink and value of money

Toilet of a place, Cherynobyl esk, just make sure you're up to date with your polio and typhoid jags. On top of that all beer is tinned 'not for reselling' at 3 quid a pop...better off at home..

Tired and dated old bar that was good a long time ago , staff pouring drinks from cans and pretending it comes from draught stuck in a time warp .

The Kempock once had the best juke box imaginable and a cool atmosphere. Nowadays it's a cold hovel of a place often with no draft lager and cans of tennents at over £3 a pop. Seems to make the prices up as he goes along as never the same price for the same round of drinks. Cross the street and go into Cleats instead.

Metimos en un sábado por la noche en el camino a casa desde Glasgow, no esperaba mucho, ya que parece un poco sucio por fuera, pero me sorprendió gratamente, el personal es acogedor y el jukebox estaba tocando buena música. Vale la pena probarlo si están en las inmediaciones.

Music is great .it's a bit like stepping back in time. Decor is dated but it is part of the charm.. if on a we pub crawl its definitely one to pop into.

El una vez tenía el mejor Kempock juke box imaginables y una atmósfera relajada. Hoy en día es un infierno de un lugar frío a menudo sin cerveza rubia y latas de tennents en más de 3 libras un pop. Parece que los precios ya que pasa por el mismo precio como nunca por la misma ronda de bebidas.Cruce la calle y vaya hacia nivelados en su lugar.

Was in Gourock for a night out and popped into The Kempock...WOW! What a great wee pub - as if it had come straight from another era, possibly the 60s, but that was the charm of the place - much music memorabilia adorning the walls and jukebox FULL of every style of music you could ask for to keep the night going with a swing - and indeed the locals of all ages did just that and were up dancing all night! A really friendly atmosphere between customers who had never met before, and the bar staff made us feel really welcome too, especially Irene and Jim. If I lived in Gourock, this would definitely be my local!

Qué fantástico pequeño pub. Sí, no le vendría mal una mano de pintura, pero no impidió la increíble bienvenida que recibimos del propietario del bar, Jim. El personal del bar, Irene y Sheryl, no podría haber sido mejor. Todos los lugareños eran muy acogedores y el jukebox era fantástico. También nos encantó el recuerdos que estaba en las paredes. Un pequeño pub sin pretensiones simplemente una gran noche de diversión a todos! ! ! No puedo esperar a volver.

Fuimos después al lado. Estupendo pequeño pub y el dueño hizo todo lo posible para hacer que nosotros realmente bienvenido. Tuvimos un par de ginebras muy agradable y una botella de Chateau de Pape. Mi amigo estancias en inverkip y ha sido varias veces desde entonces. Cuando estoy por visitar sin duda volveremos. Quizás necesita una mano de pintura, pero a quién le importa la acogida es la pena.

La decoración está un poco viejo y somehat desabrida. Los aseos son altamente evitables. Pero este lugar tiene un cierto encanto que hace que vale la pena una visita. El ambiente es fantástico cuando un buen grupo es y el jukeboxe es genial. Una gran selección de licores de detrás de la barra. El personal es muy agradable y servicial. Felicitaciones.

I've seen some mixed reviews on here regarding the Kempock & to be honest this is one of the best pubs in Gourock & a great stop during a pub crawl...Yes it's maybe not got the best décor & could probably do with a lick of paint but let's be honest, this is what makes this place what it is....It has a great selection of beers & spirits and has one of the best selection of music on any jukebox in the area - Go on, give it a try...

The owner is a little fussy about how his one room pub seating needs to stay, I got a rude comment when 30 of us from work piled into his place and wanted to rearrange things so that we could all sit together.The place hardly makes the owner any money, he hasn't got draught etc and its very minimalistic - I would have thought he'd appreciate the extra business, clearly not and not a place I will be spending any cash in again.

If your after a fantastic atmosphere busy lively crowd at the weekend it's the place to go. Take plenty of pound coins to feed the juke box which has a fantastic selection of music from all eras which helped win a prestigious award from Grouse whisky . Impromptu singing and if your really lucky a wee bit of dancing are all possible. A good local pub .

The Kempock is a great wee bar, a hub of the local community, eccentrically run by Jim Robertson. Almost hidden away at the end of the bar is an eclectic range of whiskies. None of which you would expect to find in a pub like this, some of which are greatly under-priced.

Lovely people, beautiful setting an̈d interior. My meal and my wife's were goodish,( very skinny sea bass) but granddaughter's cheesy nachos were spicy and overcooked, almost burnt, she ate 2, I tried them,they were awful. We didn't complain, as the wait wouldn't have been worth it, as we had another appointment.

Outstanding service 👏🏼 bar staff are attentive. Great atmosphere and live music was unexpected but amazing. This is a great wee local where everyone knows your name and if they don't then they will after a few. I'll be recommending this to everyone. You're never on your own in here.
