The best restaurants in Cork city council

15/02/2025: A good place for having a pint or enjoying lunch or dinner.

09/02/2025: Great food great atmosphere and friendly staff

11/04/2025: I stayed at this hotel for one night on a business trip to Ireland. The location is not very convenient if you want to visit the city, needs a vehicle to move, but for a business trip I found it very convenient: quiet, free parking and equipped with the necessary services to work in the room. The rooms are very large, functional and equipped with many comforts, a technological upgrade could be something that should be considered (as usb sockets). There is also the gym and swimming pool, but I could not use it staying for a short time. Good breakfast, the addition of handmade products could be an added value. Great staff, very friendly and smiling that gives that touch of family to the hotel. Recommended for a business trip, less for tourism.

10/04/2025: Clean rooms, helpful staff and in central Ballincollig

28/09/2024: Lovely local pub, great atmosphere

29/11/2024: Brilliant Gym, load of space/ equipment and staff are very accommodating. As a wheelchair user this gym is perfect for getting around. Sound bunch

19/11/2024: Now too pricey. I only go with vouchers😂

19/11/2024: 6.42pm and told not allowed to sit and eat our meal we paid €20 euro for as the seating area closes at 7pm we would have been done in 10 minutes😠😠 very uninviting would have eaten here a lot previously during lunchtime periods as I work on the road.... Not again.

12/12/2024: Such a lovely slice shop, very fairly priced for the size of the slices and delicious.

09/10/2024: Great place to rest and eat a piece of pizza.

04/04/2025: Reception lady on when checking out was not nice when asked her to update the invoice title. Room overnight can be really hot. The room temperature cannot be adjusted. Waiting time to be seated for breakfast can be long.

03/04/2025: Aside from the clerk who checked us in being abrupt and everything was my fault, did not make things easy. My husband is an early riser & still suffering a little bit from jet lag, went down the next morning to the main area to find coffee. There was a young man who was extremely helpful and gave him some coffee even though breakfast wasn't quite ready to be served. A little later that morning, my husband complimented the young man to the same clerk that checked us in. She went on and on about how he shouldn't have done that and how she was going to have to "instruct the staff" not to do that again. Geez... she would not shut up about it. My husband, thinking that he was doing a good thing by complimenting a staff member, felt absolutely awful that he may have gotten that young man in trouble. There was a different young woman during breakfast, who got to know my husband. She was awesome. By the way, the breakfast buffet is phenomenal! The service in the main restaurant was not good. After sitting there for about 10 min., we finally had to flag down a woman to get service - to just get something to drink. And the restaurant wasn't busy with maybe 4 other couples there. The tea I ordered was just water - there was no tea, and it took forever to get the food. The food, once we got it, was good. Then we had to try to find someone to get our ticket so we could pay for our meal. When we tried to charge it to our room, the young lady said we couldn't charge to your room. I went to the front desk to the same clerk that checked us in, and she said, "You didn't give me a credit card." My response was,"You didn't ask for one." I was just too fed up to say anymore. The room was great, but the beds and the pillows are incredibly hard. Nothing fluffy to them. The housekeeping staff was very nice and helpful.

05/03/2025: Food was the only good thing about this place , customer service was really bad specially the lady manager with the black hair she was very rude and made us feel uncomfortable while serving us and taking our order if she doesn’t like her job role she should quit. There was another male dark skin very respectful and nice wish he could’ve taken our order and serve us.

10/02/2025: I was there with a friend on Sunday for a few drinks and I liked the place initially then I went in to order some more drinks and the barperson ignored me for about 15 minutes before asking me what I wanted.. my sister worked there 35 years ago and I played a few gigs in there back then too and today is completely different. I didn't like the pub too be fair very sterile and the staff were like robots.

31/03/2025: Lovely place, had a pint and a chat with the owner and he was a delight. Would recommend for a casual paint during the slow moments in Cork

28/02/2025: Great pub great stuff top class facility

14/11/2024: Always pop in here for a pint when lm back in Ireland. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff

08/04/2025: amazing food, absolutely great value especially compared to other similar establishments

03/04/2025: Great options and it always fill me up

11/04/2025: Food was very poor-hot wings were soft and gooey as opposed to crispy. My husband got beef dinner - first time ever he left food behind him. I had fajitas. The guacamole was from a squeeze bottle and congealed looking, and the fajitas tasted bland. It reminded me of the jar of fajita sauce Aldi sell. We left our food behind us. The staff were very nice and there was a lovely atmosphere there.

21/03/2025: Great place for food and partys

10/04/2025: Was in the Rob Roy a couple of weeks ago, Met a bar man known as( Lemon 1). Great bar man had good chats I will definitely be going back there again 🍋🍋🍋🍋🫶🏻.

23/03/2025: How times have changed. In there this Sat March 22 ,2025 approx 9.00 pm 2 well drunk ladies shouting their heads off cussing and swearing. Staff did nothing. Same ladies smoking vapes which smelled up the place. Staff did nothing. I asked a varmaid about the laws on smoking and vaping in a bar, was told she couldn't smell anything and not to worry.

11/03/2025: My go to bar when visiting Cork

14/11/2024: We were a large group from a Funeral Mass nearby, and unfortunately nobody organised with The Bar owners that we would arrive... But there was No problem" as the owners a husband and wife Team sorted it all out...including producing very nice food ,without any Notice. We Celebrated well and all were Really Satisfied.. I can Really Really Recommend the Mountain bar that provides very Good Music and Entertainment..
