Connie Doolans in Cobh

A decent pint and nice enough but nothing exceptional

We were immediately warmly received by Steve, the barkeep with superb Irish coffees and friendly conversation after our overnight flight from the States. He, along with the other local gents at the bar, gave us a solid recommendations for local food and fare in Cobh and other towns along our way. Slightly apart from the crowds and bulk of the other waterfront pubs, Connie Doolan's offers a heartfelt welcome, smooth drinks, and authentic local atmosphere. I'll always cherish my first and best drink in Ireland at Connie Doolan's! And cheers to the Sunday-drinkin' gents at the bar and our laughs together!

Fantastic, proper original Irish bar (some may say even from the 1940s 😁). Really friendly crowd, great choice of drinks. Don't be put off by the outside, you'll be welcomed in here with proper traditional Irish hospitality. Only a small place but great atmosphere.

I don't understand the negative review. A great little pub, the staff and the landlord were in a good mood, so we liked it.

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.
