The Castle Inn in Cork

17/06/2026: Cafe + Record store will always be a fantastic combination

30/05/2026: What a place. The owner is honest to god one of the nicest people I’ve ever had the privilege of meeting. Class selection of records, and zines, but particularly what makes the shop standout is their DNB selection. It’s the only place I know of in Cork, maybe even Munster that stocks some of these records. I’ve found many a gem here. Great hip hop too, some more niche stuff that you’d never expect to see anywhere else, like Shawty Pimp and other Memphis acts. Such a welcoming atmosphere, you can play a record at your leisure and indulge in a great croissant, a great cup of tea, and have great chats. Love the place. Class.
