Thompsons Bar & Restaurant in Cork

It was for lunch time. Pleasant staff all along the go. Yet, a medium rare steak was medium….

First visit to Thompsons last Saturday. Really had a wonderful time, atmosphere and food was excellent. But the waiting staff were the friendliest we have ever experienced. Will certainly return again soon and tell friends and family.

If you’re looking for a new brunch spot this is it! Can’t decide what was better the food or the service. We stopped in randomly for brunch and I was really pleasantly surprised by how good it was. I got the Rebel Benedict, eggs were perfect, hollandaise sauce was great and the black pudding portion was generous. Our server was so friendly and genuine. All round great experience

Food very good and lovely wine selection. Loved the cheese board for dessert!

Food was amazing and the place is stunning. The nicest beef burger I have had in a long time. I am specifically writing this review for the lovely server who got me sorted very quickly in time for me to catch my train! In and out in 30 minutes.

We had a booking and was seated straight away. The service was spot on and drinks came down basically straight away. We weren't waiting long for our food to come. The steak tartar was divine according to my partner. The wagyu burger was savage and so was the buttermilk chicken burger. Holly was a fantastic waitress, very attentive.

So the staff, you can tell they have 💯 customer relationship, they are very attentive to our needs and they are very approachable. The food, every dish that was brought to our table was well presented and was all delicious, although the peppercorn sauce that came with my steak was on the watery side and a little bland but the steak made up for it. The atmosphere, I got a vintage vibe, it looks preserved and original. I would definitely recommend Thompsons to friends and family and I would definitely visit again.

Lovely place great service nice food would visit again in the future

A very unassuming restaurant just away from the city centre. Staff weren't especially friendly but the service was good. The menu was decent and the food, when it came, was nice. A nice treat.

So a family occasion 28 people in total attending an event nearby. Decided to come here for convenience. Booked 3 weeks in advance. On arrival the layout was perfect all the adults in one large table and all the kids in another. Menus looked nice and the servers were attentive and courteous. The food was delivered promptly and in the main it was of a good standard. The battered fish a little oily and not crisp but overall all satisfactory. The problem is despite 7 families the waitress demanded a single payment. Would not allow each family to pay for their own meals. Every attempt to pay per family was rejected out of hand. So a combination of revolute to each other and gathering cash and trying to figure the service charge per family took over 30 minutes. Our next event in a couple of months will not be here ! If you can't take the payments intelligently then don't accept the booking.
