Roaring Donkey in Cobh

Very friendly bar and landlord with perfectly poured pints.

Amazing people! Local atmosphere, great music! Good beers, the bartenders are great too!! A place in Ireland where time stands still. Thanks for keeping places like this alive! If we return to Cobh, we'll definitely be back!

We enjoyed a glass of Murphys while in the area. Welcoming people and place with a great vibe. Would return.

A real irish pub with a nice open garden at the back.

Great place for a good pint in a great pub. Great staff, friendly crowd, good for watching rugby.

This is a lovely place in a lovely town, we felt like we were at home!

It looks small from the outside, but there is a larger outdoor space inside. I went around 9 PM on Saturday and missed the performance, but it was very crowded. Everyone seemed to be locals, and the atmosphere was friendly, with everyone knowing each other. I had Murphy's and Beamish, and both were appealing for their rich foam. The restrooms were also quite clean.

Stopped by as our cruise ship was at Port. Neat spot with locals and off the tourists path. Recommend for a pint or two.

A great local pub with friendly staff and great local people! Great beer, and the local musicians were brilliant!! I ventured in every night I stayed in Cohb. 4 nights and every evening was excellent 👍

This place will always have a special place in my heart, because I found out I got Irish citizenship right before walking in! I had been wanting to visit The Roaring Donkey but the timing never worked out when I was in Cobh. I was there the other day, walking around Cobh, planning to head into the Roaring Donkey when they opened at 4:00, and I got the life-changing email that I got Irish citizenship. This brought about A LOT of emotions and I went into the pub and absolutely unloaded on Aisling, the loveliest human being I could have encountered in that moment. I was upset because of other circumstances that were at play and she completely calmed me down and encouraged me and told me everything would work out and brought out the joy that I had that this has finally happened for me after years of trying! It was the perfect place to celebrate with a pint of Guinness, the lovely Aisling, and a local named George who was very congratulatory towards me as well. I'm so glad I went in despite being a crying mess. My visit to The Roaring Donkey completely turned everything around and I left feeling overjoyed. Thank you Aisling and George!
