McGettigan's Cookhouse & Bar in Cork

Evening meal and breakfast taken in this restaurant. A little wait for the evening meal. The staff seemed a little overwhelmed but the atmosphere was excellent. The decoration is very tasteful.

Service and atmosphere were brilliant unfortunately the food wasn't great will go back for a drink but not the food

Seated on a low sofa near a fire exit. Never got my onion rings. Mains Ribs were tasty but not enough BBQ Sauce or meat . Tiny ramekin of coleslaw- literally one mouthful. Economic portion of chips. Big corn on the cob bulked up the plate. Dessert of Chocolate Brownie was Divine!!! Coffee for buddy took 15 mins as we had to leave for a concert across the road. SUN - THURS 2 COURSES for €26.95 did not apply apparently as steak & ribs were not included- personally I didn't spot the exclusion. Maybe we were just unlucky on the night but I'd try other places rather than return. Waitress was very pleasant but lacked training - my buddy ordered a Martini and the barman came down to enquire what a "Gin Martini" was? We didn't know as we hadn't ordered one... Lots of room for improvement - would have been 2 Star bar the Brownie.

Really tasty meal, great portion sizes and brilliant value for quality of food. Staff were friendly and very helpful.

Wonderful restaurant in the Ambassador Hotel on Military Hill. Lovely decor with lots of bookshelves giving a drawing room feel. Food is very good and staff are helpful. Well worth a visit.

Great food and friendly staff in the city.

This was one of the best experiences I've had at a restaurant I was with my girlfriend and we couldn't have loved it better we had Rick Jack and Jane as our main servers and they couldn't have done better for us Rick was very professional and kind to us jack provided so much entertainment and laughs while being beyond exceptional at his job and Jane gave us service with a smile and made everything pleasant I couldn't speak higher of this place with the food and service and will definitely return to all the staff thank you very much

I was in Cork for work. I didn't fancy wandering about bar street looking for a nice meal. Google suggested McGettigans, just up the road from my hotel. I didn't have space for any of the larger meals so on the advice of the waitress I ordered a chicken salad and was not displeased. Weakened by an Edinger which turned out to be an Erdinger Weissbier, (minus a tiny point for that) I then tried the apple crumble which was also prepared, presented and served with TLC and was probably the best crumble I've ever tasted in a restaurant. Not quite the crumble mix I'm used to but I really had to push down the desire to order a second one. A decent portion with nice apple. Not the cheap sweet paste that you all too often get. It came with a portion of vanilla ice cream and some posh vanilla sauce too. I had the distinct feeling that anything I ordered there would be as good. So would I recommend the place? Yep.

A fantastic meal and superb staff

Great service. Great food. Relaxed atmosphere. I'd definitely go back.
