The Oval in Cork

Good pub to have a beer. Genuine atmosphere. Traditional

Fab spot. Lovely corner by the real old style fireplace.

Great bar in Cork. Lovely atmosphere, great staff, highly recommend

We rocked into Cork for a day, wandering around we spotted The Oval off the plain main shopping strip. Oh what a relief to find this grungy indy gem. 😊 With a great relaxed vibe (each spot candlelit), plenty of beers on tap, including an alternative to Guinness (Beamish Irish stout) this is a great place to come and chat. A great place to start your Cork Heritage Pub Tour. Final tip: when going to the bathrooms upstairs later at night, be mindful of the spooks in their attic.

Great spot for a pint or two. Don't think the interior has changed in twenty years. Now has outdoor seating if you're hardy.

What a pub. Probably my favourite pub I’ve ever visited.

One of the best pints you'll get in Cork

Great and relaxed indie bar, with fantastic staff

Traditional pub.. on the list of heritage pubs to visit in Cork Loved it Candlelight Really old decor Lovely snug areas Music was great Wished we could have stayed longer

We stopped just to rest and have a beer. They treated us very well and, despite being small, the place has very cozy corners.
