Swoon
Cork
22/09/2026: I usually go to swoon about once a week and it is usually delicious. For the second time running they had no oatilly vanilla ice cream, today I waited in the queue for 10 minutes to find out there was no vegan option available, even though the sign at the till said this was available. I would advise adding a sign to say this is not available instead of making people wait to find out. Additionally, I asked for "all about the Bueno" but received a soft serve with Bueno sauce only, no other ingredients. Very disappointed tbh
13/09/2026: Have I tasted better food in my lifetime?
The honest answer is no.
Let’s just start off with the cookie. Cooked to absolute perfection; gooey yet crisp.
The sauces were to die for.
No notes…
Do yourself a favour and come here

Christy's Bar
Cork
11/09/2026: My "go to" restaurant when in Blarney. Excellent service, really really kind and helpful with small kids, and.. great Irish cuisines! I had a great beef stew, and their French fries are fantastic! They also have a great local IPA and a stout cork beer.
09/09/2026: I wouldn’t recommend Christy’s in blarney it’s awful ,,my dad and I both got a BLT which we renamed Brutal , lousy , terrible !! The service was shocking ,, there was 1 woman holding the fort while the manager was flouncing up and down on her fone ,, the waitress practically flung the sandwiches at us ,, and ran ,, however she was probably panicking ! Never again would deffo not recommend

Doreen's Bakery
Cork
03/07/2026: Little gem of a place. Worst thing is, making up your mind on what to have. Lucky I don't live near it. I'd be there every day.
17/06/2026: The best bakery in town, hands down!The sourdough bread is absolutely top-tier—perfectly crusty on the outside and airy on the inside. You can really tell they use traditional methods. Everything is baked fresh, and the staff are incredibly warm and welcoming.It is the perfect spot for a morning coffee and a treat. Cannot recommend this place enough!

The Pav
Cork
14/09/2026: I used the bathroom like THREE times and the bathrooms were beautiful. So so so clean, would recommend. You HAVE to stop in for the bathrooms ✨
02/09/2026: Absolutely disgraceful experience. I bought tickets online DAYS in advance, only to show up and be told I couldn't get in because the venue was “too full.”
What is the point of selling tickets online in advance if you can simply refuse entry anyway? The worst part was the attitude of the manager/security staff. When I asked for help, I was literally told that it was “not his problem” and that I should just try to get a refund online because there was “nobody there” who could deal with it.
So apparently taking people's money online is their responsibility, but actually honouring the tickets or helping customers when things go wrong suddenly isn't.
Completely unprofessional, incredibly rude, and an absolute waste of my time and money. I will definitely not be coming back, and I would strongly recommend thinking twice before buying tickets for this place.
