Roaring Donkey in Cobh

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!

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

Nice pub in Cobh. About 10 minutes climb up to the pub from the water. No food service.

Very decent and nice people, it simply makes you feel blissful.

A very quaint pub. We came here on the recommendation of our hosts. From what I could tell, we were the only tourists among mostly locals. The people were very friendly and we quickly struck up conversations. Overall, a very pleasant experience. We arrived around 5 pm, and it was quite crowded. They don't serve food, except for a few bags of bacon-flavored crisps. Nevertheless, highly recommended.

Fantastic authentic pub. Must visit

An absolute stellar pub! An all round fantastic community center

Fun amazing. Margaret is a greatly proprietor. We told stories all night and drank whiskey. Super irish lady. I am a mountain kid from cascade colo. Ill be back one day. Steve

Just a wonderful, “proper” pub in the lovely port town of Cobh. Went in for one drink, stayed for lots. The owner was so welcoming and the crowd so lively just didn’t want to leave. Fulfilled my image of a great Irish pub.
