The best restaurants in Cork city council

27/07/2025: Basic fare , mostly seafood menu, average pricing, friendly staff and bookings probably needed at peak as the restaurant not too big. People with reduced mobility won't have any problems.

25/07/2025: Ambiente in bella posizione, accogliente, personale attento e premuroso, piatti ben preparati e abbondanti, prezzi in linea col livello del ristorante in Irlanda

27/06/2025: One of the best Guinness and beamish in cork. Old man's pub nice pool tables bar men are sound.

22/04/2025: I had a great time at Old Reliable Irish Pub! I picked it off Google just wanting a quick pint, and I am so glad I did. It use to be a Mens only pub 20 years ago. I met the locals that were in there, they were awesome! Shout out to Con the bartender and Roy! Thanks for the great experience and conversation! - Missouri, USA near Springfield

18/10/2025: I didn't even get to order food. It was 8pm and they were doing delivery until at least 11pm and they rejected my order like 3 times. And it didn't say that they weren't doing delivery

05/10/2025: Takeout only, really good pizza

13/10/2025: You have to go looking for this smashing lounge bar. Well kept bar, lovely clientele reasonable priced beer and a smashing pint of Beamish

08/06/2025: The most slow service bar I have ever experienced.In my life.Across continents.They clearly serve locals first,even locals acknowledged it.And it was not even busy.Dont waste your time going here.I only went as at a party.The service is REALLY slow.

23/10/2025: Seems to be only a haven for racist and fascist ideologies. Walking down the street, I took off a sticker for an openly fascist political party on a pole near the cafe. Almost immediately, three men ran out from the cafe, dressed in clothes that indicated they worked there. They screamed at me, threatened me, and intimated that they had put up the sticker. I have no idea if the owner holds these views or is aware that at least three people working there do so, but it certainly casts doubt on the cafe’s name and reputation.

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.

11/07/2025: My go to always. No complaints, staff are lovely also

12/10/2025: Always served with a smile, fair enough the prices of sweet treats are expensive but majority of people are not going to get one every day. It’s only €2 for a tea (not a coffee drinker). But try the waffle it’s unreal.

09/10/2025: The baguette is no longer fresh and is as good as a ready bake baguette from Lidl. 2.8€ !!!Thats robbery.The pastries are also not fresh and are put in boxes each night to be reused. Too expensive for what you get…. Staff are very nice, that’s the only good thing…

01/09/2025: Still chewing the beef 2 hours later and still half left

31/05/2025: Always lovely but getting a bit expensive

26/08/2025: Great pub to see matches and to grab pints with large groups of people more than 10 its very large space to accommodate that large groups. Vast selection of beers from stouts to lagers to ciders. There is big screen to watch your favourite sports.

18/07/2025: Popped in because we heard live music. Had a quick pint of Storehouse lager, not our favorite but needed to try it. Open space bar, more modern with the TV and projector so i guess it depends what you are looking for

31/10/2025: i bought garlic bread from here and to be fair they gave us a lot but my god was it a waste. it tastes like i was eating RAW garlic with a bit of bread it was the most vile garlic bread i've EVER eaten do NOT waste your money on this i can't even call it food this is a disgrace it's atrocious preposterous even my goodness if i could take back time id never buy this greasy disgrace i wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy a homeless man on the side of the road could do better my goodness. i am appalled. they're pizza tho that's a diffrent story. it was pretty good my friend likes it more but eh

21/10/2025: was in there 21/10/25, the best burger in Cork, v. clean place, nice staff

31/10/2025: Great value ..lovely chips and pies also spicey chips and veg .

23/09/2025: Great food great prices . Good service.

11/09/2025: An excellent option for those looking for good food. Great service, highly recommended. Pleasant and very clean environment.

07/09/2025: I’ve been to Golden Bites today, the new shop on Washington Street, with my young son. We were warmly welcomed, and the atmosphere was very pleasant and aesthetically nice. However, I do have some concerns. When placing my order, I made it very clear that my cappuccino should be made with oat milk (for health reasons I cannot consume dairy). Unfortunately, I received a cappuccino with regular milk. I didn’t complain at the time because I’m not the type of person who likes to create conflict at an establishment, but I mentioned twice at the counter that it should be with oat milk. Another point: I’m not sure if I was charged for two portions of grilled buttered bread since I received four slices, but I only ordered one portion, which I believe should be two slices. I also wasn’t given a receipt, so I couldn’t verify the charge. Once again, the environment is very pleasant, and the staff was kind and attentive. However, we have already experienced issues with delivery orders in the past — missing items, wrong orders, etc. I expected that visiting in person would be different, but unfortunately, the same kind of issues happened. This makes it a little difficult to want to return. I truly hope this is just something temporary due to the new location
