The Cock Tavern, menu in Swords

Haven't been here for a long time and it turned out to be a good choice to go back the food was lovely

Great service and great people. Wings are delicious 😋 😍

Cute pub! Not too big so pretty packed on a Friday night!

Cool hidden pub in Swords district up by airport.

Nice pub. Have been here for a late lunch break. Live music Wednesday to Sunday evenings (I think, check the website, https://cocktavern.ie/)

I love the Cock Tavern, still giving it 4 stars, been coming here for 7 years. Had US cousins with me tonight, they were wearing shorts & we were refused entry. There was a guy at door wearing shorts smoking & he was allowed back in. When we queried that we were told he had entered before 6pm!! Wondering has this amazing pub got ahead of itself

Few beers watching the rugby. 🏉🏉🏉🏉 fab chicken wings & few beers

The Chicken Caesar salad is fabulous!

The Cock Tavern is the architectural equivalent of a magic trick. From the street it looks like a perfectly ordinary neighborhood pub, but the moment you step inside, the place unfolds like a labyrinth designed by someone who refused to believe in straight lines. Every turn reveals another room, another bar, another cozy corner, and before long you’ve completely lost any sense of direction. It’s the sort of pub where you could swear you’ve explored the whole place, only to discover yet another doorway leading to another hidden space. The atmosphere is wonderfully old-school, with character packed into every inch of the building. It feels like generations have simply added another room whenever they ran out of space rather than ever considering a new building. The result is a glorious maze that somehow works perfectly. Even the men’s restroom deserves a mention. Complete with an old-fashioned trough urinal, it’s a little piece of pub history that’s becoming increasingly rare to find. Strange as it sounds, details like that add to the feeling that you’re experiencing a proper old pub that’s stayed true to itself instead of chasing modern trends. The service was friendly, the atmosphere was exactly what you’d hope for, and the whole place has the kind of charm that can’t be manufactured. The Cock Tavern isn’t just somewhere to grab a drink. It’s somewhere to explore. Every corner has its own personality, and every room feels like it has a hundred stories waiting to be told. Five stars for proving that you should never judge a pub by its frontage.

This is the real deal. Adorable pub, lots of locals. I didn't have the food but it smelled great. Such a cozy place!
