The best restaurants in Cork city council

01/11/2025: This pub is a real hidden gem without tourists, just locals who know where the true pub spirit lives. The atmosphere is authentic, warm, and full of character, exactly what you’d expect from a proper neighborhood spot. I definitely recommend visiting this place and while you’re at it, check out the other great pubs along the same street. Also a special shout-out to the bartender’s music taste, absolutely on point 🤘

09/08/2025: Hidden gem for me. Living in Cork 43 years and only found it recently! Staff so nice and customers so friendly even though im a blow in from the north side! Ill keep going back there! Great night was had by all!!

10/10/2025: It's a good place for the summer. The coffee and food are excellent.

16/07/2025: Its a great place and wonderful coffee

13/09/2025: #blackpool only# I dont know where to begin. First of all I want to note this is the third strike. First time the intercom /language barrier. Got the order completely wrong and when I returned to the shop counter with my reciept I was met with very negative and unprofessional behaviour. I did receive the remaining items but it was too late because the family had eaten the food they had received. #big order bye the way? €60 +. The second time was a similar order and the food was not good whatsoever. And guess what?? Items missing yet again. This time i went back trough the drive thru and in all honesty the staff member was extremely helpful and polite. Third time and most recent to this review, agreed with my partner to go to dinos for a convenient supper as i was working later than usual. Once again we ordered a similar order to the usual but I decided to get a 3 piece snack box, In all honesty I never had chips so dehydrated and reheated in my life.chicken skin was flavoursome but the chicken was extremely poor and not nice to eat. Onion rings that were so greasy and had zero batter/crunch to them. Partner had a breast in a bun meal that usually delivers a great response and struggled to comment on how to eat it because it was so dry. Kids burger meals were eaten by my children but they also commented on the chips. And last but not least the cheese and onion pies were missing from the order. The staff member did acknowledge me at the drive thru before I said anything about it and apologised and had the pies at the ready. Just not a good experience tbh.

30/08/2025: Some fresh, proper chips and a friendly, smiley staff.

26/09/2025: We loved to go to Dashi and it was our go-to takeaway in COVID times. I ordered for collection on a Thursday evening at 7pm, half of the sushi options were gone and the curry and udon noodle dishes (or at least parts thereof) were heated in a microwave, and it still took them 25 minutes to put the order together. The dishes lacked veggies and where mediocre at best, and I couldn't finish the seaweed salad. Very disappointed.

18/09/2025: Visited the place just for the first time, as I saw they have a lot of great reviews, and variety of options, but unfortunately were disappointed, as many of the ingredients weren’t just included. They show in the menu that the sushi has variety of ingredients, and a lot of interesting stuff like: asparagus, chive, chilli powder, and so, but unfortunately they just used instead of the asparagus the curcumber, and we had no chives or chilli powder, although we should have had😟 Also the trout sushi we had was half raw/and half cooked👀

13/09/2025: Not bad pint of beamish god 4.90

29/08/2025: Beamish! Neat mural, nice street. We were there on a Saturday midday and kids were playing all around the streets (traffic was shut off). It was lovely!

30/08/2025: Frappe was good, and has a good range of cakes and treats. The service was mixed but place was unclean. Crumbs (& flies) everywhere, every empty table and mugs and trays on it.

26/08/2025: The cashier was kind of grumpy and somehow hard to understand. The cheescake had a very artificial taste and was too expansive for its size. I did not like it. Next time I try another Café.

13/09/2025: Lisa was an amazing host. Delicious food😋 100% recommended 😊👍🏻

24/08/2025: The person who gave us our seats was very rude. We asked her if we could sit on the booth and she replied ‘can you just sit where your told’. Poor customer service.

11/10/2025: My favourite cork coffee franchise

02/10/2025: I decided to grab a quick coffee here last week and was let down with the service. The red haired girl who served me was very snappy and rude. The coffee itself was nice but her attitude was very negative.

31/08/2025: Best of luck to the new owners hopefully they have more respect to their regulars who came week in week out. Planned to come at 3 which was original planned for them to change to 6 pm and them refuse us at door because the lynches said it was too busy. They were well able to take my money when tumble weed was blowing across bar.

23/04/2025: My favourite Pub in town!!! Super friendly Staff!!! A warm and welcoming atmosphere, and a great selection of beers at fair prices. It’s always a pleasure to stop by! I do miss the Cotton Ball beers (hope it makes a return soon)! Overall, just a fantastic spot to relax and enjoy a drink.

05/09/2025: Great pub great people who goes in there friendly place staff lovely owner William they calls him bill lovely great to go out for the day or night

01/09/2025: Only takeaway cups despite having seating inside and outside. That's enough to put me off but the quality of the coffee has declined too.

13/08/2025: Some of the best food I’ve ever had it’s amazing and staff are lovely

05/08/2025: Finally, a real Irish pub, off the beaten path, stumbled upon by chance. The Guinness was the best and cheapest of all the ones I've tried after five in Dublin and Cork. It's a shame you can't eat there, otherwise we would have stayed all night.

03/08/2025: After getting a bit lost on the way out of the island in central Cork, wandering through the narrow streets, you find this completely authentic little pub. No colorful lights. Drinks are cheaper than usual in the area and well served. Pints of beer are less than €5.

19/07/2025: Excellent food, very tasty. Really enjoyed it 😋

14/06/2025: Another small Irish pub to enjoy a pint at. Hot in there.

23/04/2025: Brilliant stop there by accident and drink a coca-cola but the pub was a good few people inside like local people but they joke with me all ready because I was ask for coca - cola I was driving, I would like to stay there for a few pints I could see I will enjoy a lot I know the cork people it’s great laugh good craic but I will pass there someday for sure.

05/10/2025: Great taste! Awesome volcano burgers, recommended!

04/10/2025: The burger was very good. However there was too much salt on the chips. I will come back but I'll be asking for no/little salt on the chips so I can season to my own taste.
