The food is really top class for the reasonable price. High quality, high intention. My wife, four year old and I went the whole hog with three courses, and every part of every dish was a very thoughtful version of what it was. So we got a good cross section of the menu - deep fried brie, wings, curry, burger, goujons, cheesecake, so on. None of it felt generic or from the freezer.
The environment was well lit, warm, nothing loud, friendly hum of chatter from around the bar. And most of all, all the staff were very friendly. They all felt genuinely warm and happy to be there. It of course makes all the difference.
Our favorite pub grub right now I think. Great experience here!

One of the very best Turkey/Ham dinners I ever ham. Meat was succulent! Sauce perfectly dosed. Very generous serving. Definitely go back!

Just had Sunday Carvery and without a doubt it's the best Sunday Carvery we have ever had by a mile. Good size portions, loads of choice and the gravy topped it all (would nearly order a glass of the gravy on its own!).
So do yourself a favor and get yourself out to the Bishopstown bar for the nicest tastiest carrvey.
Ps The staff are very friendly and the service second to none. Will definitely be back.

We as a group meet there every Saturday before a Cork City academy home game. The welcome we have got over the last 2 years is only fantastic. All the staff go the extra mile for us. I cannot recommend them enough. Oh and the food and beverages are just as excellent. Well done to Joe and all the staff.. 5 star

I had the most amazing meal, carvery. The staff are super cool. Great to see craft beers and cider being supported. Big shout out to Stonewell Cider lovers, I'd a non alcoholic.

The Bishopstown Bar is always a favourite for our family but we had not been in a year or so and we shocked by the increase in pricing. The steak sandwiches were only okay. Nothing in particular to complain about but nothing to praise either. The scampi was a small portion but delicious! The curry was extremely delicious though adding chicken certainly raised the price. The pasta however was extremely oily, with a pool of it even visible in the photo. The garlic bread was grand and was used to try and soak up the oil. The staff were lovely, the checked on us so regularly it was almost annoying but to be fair it was a quiet night and there were not many other customers.
Overall I would come back but I would avoid the pasta dishes.
