Reviews
"Lovely public house. Lots of seating options from the bar to the nook to a variety of table sizes. Best pint of Beamish you’ll find. Bartenders are friendly and quick. The place was full of locals, and as a tourist I wasn’t made to feel out of place one bit. Also saw dogs were welcome, which was grand to see. Wish this was my local pub. Top marks all around!"
"Great old style Irish pub. Dark, lots of wood and good Guinness. If you are a tourist and looking for a traditional Irish pub, you just found it. Keep an eye on Murphy's stout. Almost no chance to find it on the west coast!"
"What a cracking pub ! Somehow it has a very funky underground vibe and walking through the doors you feel as though you are on an adventure. Really lovely vibe and just full of lots of happy juice. If you go and this does not work, then go to a sterile wine bar with zero atmosphere and you will feel at home. Love it !"
"Really cosy, nice bar. Friendly staff, lovely atmosphere,. Very old bar, but quite young clientele. Nice crowd. I like that they allow dogs in. I highly recommend this very traditional bar in the heart of Cork City. South Main Street, Cork."
"Nice pint and a great little bar. Myself and 15 friends came i here drinking and the barmaid gave out to us for standing in the middle of the floor. I dont know where she wanted id to stand the bar only holds 50 people and it was a busy Saturday night. We had one pint and left. It was very disappointing."
