Allihies Copper Café in Cork

Such a special place with beautifully warm and welcoming staff. Thank you for giving us shelter from the weather and for the perfect start to the day 😊

A compact and interesting museum of the copper mining industry in the area. Very good quality cafe with outdoor area at the back.

A detailed museum detailing the history of copper mining in the area from Neolithic times to the 1960s. A good variety of exhibits on the history, technology and social aspects.

This small compact tour has a lot of information in it. There is a really nice tactile model of how the mind goes down into the ground, showing the different shafts that a blind person can track. You'll have to bring a cited person along though to read all the text

Small museum, not really suitable for children! Has a good coffee corner! Enthusiastic staff.

The cafe is (as all the reviews are saying) Excellent! I recommend coming to the cafe first, especially if it's to escape the rain 🌧️ It will put you in a good mood for the museum! My parents don't often gush about how good food is, and the salad (I had as a side) can be best described as Generous. Very healthy, fresh and worth finishing everything on your plate. 🍽️✨ Wait time for food can be long (maybe because it's busy - only 20 minutes tops) but it is VERY worth the wait. Then if it's a nice day go on and enjoy the museum proper, haha! It's nice. 🌟

Very interesting great value and the cafe is excellent.
