Connie Doolans in Cobh

All 6 of us Americans have this as one of the three best pubs in Ireland we visited. Extremely welcoming locals. Live music. Very welcoming and cheap pints. Must stop in

I'm not sure this place is/has a restaurant as the name/sign implies, but by all means stop in for a pint and a great time with whatever locals are packed around the bar. Our only regret was the limited time we could spend, as we had to grab dinner and catch a train.

If you are in Cobh (pronounced COVE) and you do not stop in for a pint, you have missed a genuine opportunity. Think of the American TV show Cheers and multiply that by 100 and add the Irish good nature and you are getting close to the feeling you get when you sit at the bar. Start a conversation and soon you will thinking (or wishing) you’re a local. You will learn the pub dates back 200+ years, its connection to the titanic and Cobh’s connection to WW I

We said we'd try Connie Doolans to hear Buster the singer. The owner was most welcoming and chatty, so that made a difference from the pub the day before. We found a nook where 9 of us could be together and had a great night. All punters were friendly.

Fantastic friendly pub with great Guinness. What more could you need?

Thanks Steve! The friendliest, most welcoming bar/pub I've ever been in. Your patrons only added to the great time we had! A fantastic experience and a highlight of our day in Cobh.

Great little local pub. Super friendly and very engaging!
