Allihies Copper Café in Cork

Interesting museum. It's very small and contains a lot of exhibits – unfortunately, many of them without any explanations. For example, at the entrance, there are many photos on a screen, but the information is lacking. Overall, the museum could use at least twice as much space, and the exhibition needs to be made much more user-friendly. It's very noisy in the space (a former church). The café is nice, with delicious cakes and friendly staff. There's a small garden with a pond at the back.

Didn't actually visit the museum just went in for lunch. The cafe is excellent. I did walk many of the mining trails and the information plaques were very good.

the South Kerry rural Men's Group had a visit to the Allihies Copper Mine recently, the group thoroughly enjoyed the visit, the staff and tour guides were warm & friendly, and gave us a very good history of the Museum.

Monster portions and lovely staff. Recommend the open crab sandwich. Everything is so fresh

This museum was small but very modern, with interactive exhibits that give you a feel of the scale of the mines, and tells the importance of mining to the area, the people who contributed to it, and how it shaped the lives of people from Beara in the Irish diaspora

Very interesting and well laid out

Nice very informative museum. Also a cafe.

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.
