The Long Valley in Cork

good soup, good beer, toilet clean

Lovely bar and food. Recommend the corn beef sandwich and Irish stew

Great bar for a pint friendly staff and lovely sandwiches .

Was hungry after a trip to the nearby English Market and stopped this wonderful little place after seeing the reviews. Enjoyed sitting outside and people watching while enjoying a Guiness and a toasted ham and cheese sandwich.

Finally got to get a sandwich here. Finally got a little corner table inside. On previous visits I've been relegated to standing outside or standing in the way of others, but you can see why it's popular. Everyone who worked here had a good vibe about them, the taplist is vast and caters for all, and the food was coming out like a well oiled machine - efficient, hearty, consistent. I'd come back and stand, happily. But I'm glad I got to get in early and see it step into gear as Sunday got off the ground. Will remain one of my favourites in Cork.

Fantastic bar in the city centre. Friendly staff and the toasted sandwiches are incredible! Well worth a visit.

Rory Gallagher fans must visit. It's a local.

We came to this bar 10 years ago as we were given information that visitor books to view going back decades were there and we found one which my husbands family had completed in 1970. It was so emotional seeing comments from people who had since passed away and also that he completed as a young child. We made a trip back in March this year to bring my Father in laws ashes back and wanted to update the old visitor book but was told “they’ve gone”. Literally that nothing else by someone who wasn’t the least bit interested in why we were there. Sometimes people have good reasons for asking about something and a degree of understanding in what is a very historic city wasn’t too much to ask. We had lunch and the sandwiches are lovely and well made but the 3 stars reflect the sadness we felt when we left .

Something smelled bad when we walked in. The bar seemed excellent otherwise but it was too much for the women I was with. So we hobbled a bit down to another pub.

Corned Beef Salad Sandwiches and soup. Best lunch in Cork
