14/02/2026: Shocking experience once again , as per as a family who recently moved into the area and would love to make this pub a local for food and drink we tried it again and told that we couldn't have a drink as the bar was for food , while a bar was half empty and staff tripping over each other engaged in conversation at the bar in our past experience we were send to the residents lounge and told by the bar manger in there he was reserving tables for the locals and how long would we be there , we have family that drink there and highly recommend the place but I can say from trying over and over again and ending up in disappointment every time and rude management I look forward to the Wilton bar being renovated and walking place this establishment. Disgrace

11/02/2026: A great bar where the staff and locals are extremely friendly. A great atmosphere with some brilliant characters. And if you're into horse racing or football, there are various screens without the volume too loud.

21/08/2025: The omelets (breakfast omelet), the scones, the beans on toast, the bread... Everything was delicious and mostly homemade. The woman who runs the cafe is lovely, very pleasant and smiling. You have to go there if you are in the area.

29/07/2025: Absolutely beautiful couldn’t get any better of service.Super prices and most of all a lovely bunch of people

12/02/2026: Really sad that don’t respond to a review

06/02/2026: Took AirCoach from Dublin and the hotel is only 5 minutes down the road. Elegant entry and charming lobby for tea. Our bathroom was a little odd shaped but we managed. Staff everywhere were friendly and attentive. We had breakfast included, which included everything on the menu. And the hotel bar was a nice way to cap the evening off.

12/10/2025: Best coffee cakes in Ireland,, friendly staff,,, put a shop onde South Side please,

03/10/2025: A gem of a spot in Blackpool. Doorstep sandwiches have generous portions, not to mention all the delicious cakes and breads they make in-house. Staff have always been friendly and professional. I always make time to call to Brackens when in the area.

01/04/2026: Just had coffee and a scone v good service around 15.00 hrs.

31/03/2026: Lovely hotel and welcoming staff. We had a pleasant stay. The best thing is the surprise Ester voucher for kid in the room. My daughter was so happy when she exchanged her treats with the very kind bar lady. Thank you!

31/01/2026: A real classic and super cozy pub on the road to Kinsale. The food was not terrible, but also not great. The pints were lovely though, and the staff were sound though so I'd its worth a stop.

30/01/2026: Love the pub. I always call in hear with my friends from England when we go visit a very dear friend who lives in Tower . Staff are out of this world 😊 truly lovely people ❤️

16/12/2025: Great place, go everytime I'm in Cork. Also dog friendly

02/12/2025: I’m reluctant to leave a good review because it means that it will get more popular! This was my first visit but it won’t be my last. I had coffee and French toast with maple syrup and bacon. The French toast was yummy, with a lovely hit of cinnamon, good maple syrup accompanied by crispy, streaky bacon. The service is friendly and efficient and the space is cosy. A definite five stars.

22/08/2025: shocking standards Since they closing down, raw chips , chicken burger dead dry and black inside meet , chicken wings black inside absolutely disgusting

10/08/2025: Visited Route Fourteen with my family for lunch. The food was great, the dining area was spacious, but I have a few points I hope can be considered to improve the service. There were two lunch menus on our visit: one standard lunch menu (same as website) and one specific for the day or week. We ordered from the second menu since they seemed seasonal and more fresh than the regular menu. The prices were similar to other gastropubs around Cork City. I ordered pork belly with vegetables and mashed potatoes. The pork was stuffed with walnuts and dates, a stuffing I would have never thought would taste so nice with pork. Other dishes we had were the "Smash Burger" and Reuben sandwich. We ordered chicken wings with buffalo sauce for starters. Everybody enjoyed their orders but the beef in the Reuben would be better if it was not heated much. For dessert we had a mango and raspberry cheesecake and lemon meringue. Both were presented nicely and tasted amazing. They are best eaten between two people as they are large desserts. We were seated at a bright high table by the window, however we were near a large private booking and I felt a bit under pressure as the staff were setting the tables around us for the arriving diners. Given that the venue was not busy when we arrived, I would have preferred sitting further away from the large group booking. I would highly recommend visiting Route Fourteen on your next day out for lunch or dinner at a gastropub.

02/11/2025: We ordered the communion package last May. The ordering process was very easy, Audrey was very helpful. The food was ready on time, all delicious and everyone was complimenting it. I’d definitely order again.

09/10/2025: They brought several cupcakes at work for an event, I tried the chocolate and strawberry one and I've never tasted so artificial flavours before. The chocolate tasted like those chocolate easter eggs you get at the supermarket where the chocolate gets white after a while cause its so cheap and the strawberry had so much sugar in it my teeth started to ache.

03/04/2026: The girls working there were extremely helpful and my collection was ready withing 10 mins

26/03/2026: Been a while since I had apache. It’s gotten a lot better. Really nice pizza and prepared on time.
