John Henchy & Sons in Cork

A pub with a great atmosphere and good service; it's fast if you're expecting it, i.e., on weekends. On Thursdays it's a bit slower, but still great.

Very accommodating and great to deal with for my stag party, great staff, pints of great quality including Murphys of the highest calibre and great location overlooking the city in St Lukes

Traditional Irish pub with bar and lounge. Located close to the city center (walking 🚶 distance) Good to watch sports. Outdoor seating

Wonderful bar. So comfortable and welcoming. Staff was fantastic. So happy we decided to stop in on our way back to our hotel after dinner in Cork.

Out of the way and prob banging on gig nights at st lukes

On my last Friday night in Ireland, I arrived alone at JH & Sons to a large crowd both inside and out. I ordered a Guinness and found a spot to sit around back where there were three groups enjoying drinks and lively banter. Feeling somewhat out of place, I relocated to a stool at the end of one of two bars, next to where patrons were ordering drinks. I ordered a Beamish and occasionally engaged in brief conversation with those waiting on their drinks. The beers were exceptionally fresh and delicious. The crowd was expectedly boisterous and loud and the bartenders were quite busy. Rising above the din of the crowd was the recurrent laughter of assumably drunken female clientel - earily remiscent of the Wicked Witch of the West leaving on her broom. I was enjoying myself up until it was time for me to order my third pint. I had decided that I would have a Murphy's to complete my comparison of available Irish stouts. I don't quite know why, but I found it impossible to get the attention of either of the female bartenders. Patrons to my left and right were being served, but the bartenders chose to ignore me, and would not even make eye contact. I started to wonder what I had done to put them off. Was it my thick Brooklyn accent, or was it my NHL NY Rangers t-shirt? After what seemed like an eternity (15-20 min), a third bartender came over from the other bar and took my order. I drank my Murphy's (my favorite of the three) and left with the feeling that I was unwelcome.

Great local boozer, even during the week It was busy!!

Excellent service! Great ambience and first class Guinness😁

It was the best Beamish we had in Ireland! Lovely atmosphere with even better drinks.

We visited Cork last weekend from Manchester and were delighted to stumble on this pub on our first night. We spent a few nights here, sat outside watching the world go by and in one of the many snug corners inside listening to some good music. It had a great vibe and atmosphere and seemed to cater for all ages, regulars and visitors. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and helped point us in the right direction re our visit. The pub is really old and has some nice features, art and stained glass. We looked it up and saw a review where it was listed in the Telegraphs Top 100 pubs. We will definitely call in again next time we visit Cork. 💚
