The best restaurants in Cork city council

22/08/2026: Bouncer at the door called my friends ID a fake despite the fact it was a passport in date. He showed multiple forms of ID and the bouncer began squaring up to him. Highly abusive. Avoid like the plague

02/07/2026: Good selection of beers and live music

02/09/2026: Lovely pub. Good pont and a good atmosphere. Quite when I was there but I'm sure it's buzzin as the week goes on.

17/08/2026: Don't do food normal bar plenty sports on the tellys good service

05/09/2026: Lively traditional Chipper. Always busy and closes about 9pm. Great choices and the Looney Burger is a really great double burger.

25/07/2026: really friendly staff by far best chipper only one i would go to definitely recommend it to anyone looking

28/06/2026: BEST SMASH BURGERS IN IRELAND TBH! Came from Kilkenny for these bad boys! Great service from the people at Tirab! May Allah give the business more barkat!

17/05/2026: 4 oz burger, tasteless frozen chips, over priced junk food. Also the chicken topped fires was frozen dry overcooked chicken. Overpriced. Glorified air fryer Aldi range comes to mind…. Do not waste your money and go else where. Waited 20 mins also

19/05/2026: We were in Cork for just two nights and discovered this bar on our first night and we are glad we did. The owner, Barry I believe his name is has a very friendly tone and was very talkative and friendly to us. The bar has a strong following among locals all of which are very kind. Coming from the USA we felt very welcomed and the Murphys & Beamish was great as well. It’s definitely a place I can recommend.

08/02/2026: Went in there about 5.30pm on 7th February, a Saturday. I stood at the bar with my card in my hand attempting to make eye contact with one of the two men behind the bar for 15 minutes while others around and even next to me were served. I'm unsure why I was studiously ignored. In the end I left without purchasing a drink. My daughter had been collecting our bags from the car which was in Carrols Quay car park, she had suggested I have a drink and a sit down while she did this, and she couldn't quite believe it when she came in and witnessed this behaviour.

23/08/2026: Poor quality coffee shop compared to the other establishments in this shopping centre. Be great if it closed down to make room for the other thriving local businesses who are competing against them

02/06/2026: Love their ice coffee frappe Staff very friendly

21/07/2026: Great coffee and delicious food. Place is very cosy. Staff members are very kind and friendly. Open early, which is is not so obvious for coffee/food places. Parking available. I and I can highly recommend Amberley Dolce & Salato

21/07/2026: Very good breakfast and good service

13/09/2026: Very yummy pizza love the peperoni very sigma🥰🥰🥰🤑🤑🤑🤑

04/09/2026: took ages for food to be served. not impressed

23/05/2026: Best Chinese food in the north side

12/10/2026: Terrible bouncers and equally poor management.

02/10/2026: I spent several evenings in this pub with my friends during our Erasmus in Cork. We never had anything to eat or drink, but we stayed for the music and the dancing. The music was always perfect, the place was small, and vaguely reminiscent of Italian nightclubs in the evenings because of how crowded it is when dancing, but you can get in for free with no obligation to buy anything. I'd really love to go back. Miss you, JJ Walsh's, one of the few pubs that even let us under 21s in. 🫰🏻😞

07/09/2026: The bartender here was very cold and rude. The food was not good and the nachos are not spicy. Dont make the mistake we made.

25/08/2026: The Mexicana burger has to be top 3 burgers I've ever had, even with it being vegan. Unbelievable!!

27/04/2026: Great lunch and pint of Beamish! 👍

18/04/2026: Didn't have food was at the live music lovely staff and great atmosphere will call again

25/08/2026: Popped in for a bit of lunch. There was a good selection of sandwiches, wraps, and other stuff in breads available. There is also a selection of sweet treats as well. The restaurant is nicely decorated and comfortable. I got a chicken tika wrap and a caramel square, and my wife got a tuna sandwich. The price came to around €22 which considering the size of the items and tiny side salads on the plates, was steep. The food tasted ok, but I would say not worth the price. Overall, I can't say I would be back again.

22/08/2026: Great vegan roll. And lots of food choices.Roomy cool space great for a hot day. The coffee itself is disappointingly bland!

08/07/2026: First time here,sat in the garden, really enjoyed it. Staff were good.

17/04/2026: Great pub. Got free pizza one day and pool table kept in decent nick. Always a good vibe 👍

16/09/2026: I used the drive through on the last minute of the night, they were so good to let me through and I was so glad because I was rushing with my daughter to make it here after being at late church. Thank you 😊

10/09/2026: Spacious and clean interior. Pleasant and professional staff. Plenty of car parking outside.
