Tom Barry's in Cork

The best bar in town in my eyes. Always great staff, friendly fun and easygoing. Lots of choice for drinks and lovely pizza made to order. Beer garden is lovely with a cover when needed. I dont think for me Tom Barrys ever dissapoints except for the fact it no longer has Tom. It really is a south side gem in my eyes.

Tom Barry's is a brilliant traditional type pub on the South side of Cork with the perfect mix of both indoor and outdoor spaces. The staff are super friendly and they encourage a great atmosphere with trad music and chats, its always a great night here! They serve a beautiful pint of the Guinness as well as other popular local and not so local beers to carter to everyone! 27-July-2025 Update: My wife and I called in as we were nearby and said its been a minute since we were here. The bar hasn't changed much if at all and the staff as as friendly as ever! I got one of the local Cork beers Original 7 Larger and my wife got a Murphy's stout and we took in the fine weather out the back in the beer garden. Food: The pizzas here are delicious! I highly recommend stopping by for a pizza and mach use of the pizza and a pint deal! We got a spicey salami pizza and a garlic and tomato sauce pizza while we were here. Both were amazing and we were surprised by the garlic pizza as we didn't realise it didn't have cheese but it was perfectly delicious! Old Review: There is loads of space to choose from be it the small bar at the front, the back room by the fire, the side bar by the beer garden and last but not least, the fantastic beer garden out the back! Any area you choose will be great! It can be very busy at weekends but come here early or mid week if you are looking for something a little quieter! Over the years I've spent many a Friday or Saturday evening catching up with friends and its always been a great location! The beer garden is my favourite spot in this bar and they have their own pizza kitchen in the back garden as well. Definitely check out Tom Barry's, you won't be disappointed!

Nice place with good beer and pizzas, cheese/meat plates. Enjoyed the music and nice weather with friends.

Best local a person could ask for. It's got it all.

Had a lovely Beamish on a sunny afternoon

Just my experience wasn't great. Every table we sat was booked at for a certain time it felt a bit like musical chairs. Still had a good night to spite that.

Lovely wee spot to stop and have a pint in a sunny beer garden. They didn't have the pizza last time I was here so I was excited to try it. I love a thin base so it was right up my alley. Highly recommend the Dali.

Superb ambience..... Excellent service

The pizza and a pint for €17 is so good

The best pizza in Cork has to be the Dali. Great choice of pints.
