The Oliver Plunkett in Cork

29/10/2025 I recently tried to have dinner at The Oliver Plunkett but was disappointed with how I was treated as a solo diner. I was told that I would have to wait 30 minutes for a table, while other parties of four or more were seated immediately. I was directed to sit at the bar instead. It seemed that the staff were focused on maximising profit rather than ensuring customer satisfaction. I have visited the establishment in the past and always found it good value for money, but this experience has made me reluctant to return.

Everything was very good. Food, drinks, service, atmosphere....just I found it a bit expensive for the amount of the food and the quality.

Ann who was in the upstairs toliet on Saturday- is the most patient and kind women - especially during jazz weekend. Give her a raise she was so lovely and efficient. Staff can learn from her.

Lovely bar to relax in with a coffee, I'll be back!

It was a lively place to enjoy a refreshing Murphy's. The servers were friendly and prompt, which was a nice touch. A local band was performing, making it even more enjoyable.

Had dinner and a couple of drinks. It was very nice, plenty of food and good quality

The food is good, atmosphere great and I really enjoy the live music. I go at least once a week!

Get the Irish Lamb Stew. Amazing. Waitresses could be nicer, but well, nothing's perfect.

Nos divertimos mucho aquí, la comida era impresionante, el personal era muy amable y servicial - en particular Stephen que hizo nuestra noche, muy divertido!

Bellissimo pub storico di Cork. Musica dal vivo e sessioni di live e ballo irlandese il mercoledì. Spazi ampi, ambiente accogliente, servizio rapido e sorridente. Ottimo lo stufato irlandese, se volete cenare, meglio prenotare. Altrimenti, si può semplicemente vere una pinta ascoltando musica. Abbiamo passato una magnifica e divertente serata.
