Costa
Cork
            20/09/2025: I haven’t had coffee anywhere else but Costa for a long time, but I have to say this: your team is really very amateur. Maybe it’s not their fault, but they do everything wrong. I just wanted to let you know :) If you’d like, I can help you with this free of charge :) Because this is not normal.
    
        
            29/08/2025: I've been a Costa customer for many years, especially this one. I often compare going to Costa for a coffee, or espresso, to going to church on Sundays. The difference is that it's become a routine here to go every day in the late afternoon, catch up with colleagues, and spend a couple of hours here at Costa.
It has a beautiful terrace, and inside, there are many tables. The staff are all professionals, but they don't wait on tables. You can use the Wi-Fi, after all. It's a place to have a good time and a meeting point. I wish you the best of luck and many years of success.

An Brog
Cork
            26/09/2025: The dj on a Thursday night was very rude. Would not recommend this dj
    
        
            26/09/2025: We stayed for a while after dinner because as we walked through the door we heard live music and the band was great, playing with great force and rhythm and the atmosphere inside was very cheerful.

Meades Bar 126
Cork
            14/09/2025: Such a lovely atmosphere. Wine was fantastic. Lovely vibe with the candles and music. Absolutely no complaints.
    
        
            10/08/2025: Wonderful wine bar, been a favourite place of mine for years. Fantastic wine list, lovely atmosphere and the hosts are always so welcoming.

McDonald's
Cork
            15/10/2025: Came here after an appointment and it was closed. Would have been nice if you updated Google and saved me the drive. If you make oversights like this, what else do you get wrong?
    
        
            15/10/2025: Super McDonalds, well managed, always get the orders right, food always hot. Can’t say the same for Killarney & Tralee McD

Raj Gaylord Indian Restaurant
Cork
            05/10/2025: The original taste of India is always fresh and delicious, and the atmosphere in the restaurant is fantastic. You can feel the heart and patriotism, the love for your country and your cuisine.
    
        
            07/08/2025: Excellent , Well Done to the Chef here 🤩
, I’m a big fan of the Tandoori Chicken accompanied with the mouthwatering sauce bursting with delightful flavours,  I can’t get enough of the food here , while it is not a central location it is definitely worth the the drive , I highly recommend The Raj Gaylord Indian Kerrypike Co Cork .

The Groves
Cork
            19/09/2025: Clean, prompt, good vibe, easy interaction. I'm a fusspot who always makes my own breakfast, and the lady was 100% there for that and everything came out perfectly.
Great place for a nice traditional breakfast, 100% happy with the experience.
    
        
            05/09/2025: A true Irish pub, this one can say is 100% Irish. Irish food is served here, and of course, a full Irish breakfast. I can tell you, after a full Irish breakfast, you don't need food for the rest of the day, but it all depends on how much money you intend to spend. Birthday parties are held here; the pub is huge, so you can do whatever you want.

The Washington Inn
Cork
            17/07/2025: Super place for a match, a chat, a laugh and one of the best pints of guinness in Cork!  Great staff too!!
    
        
            04/06/2025: Great spot for a few pints with friends.

Sketch
Cork
            30/08/2025: The food is good, but nothing special.
The staff is busy running around, but they don't seem to notice that you're interested in ordering. The value for money is just about adequate.
    
        
            26/07/2025: Excellent food, priced accordingly,  but one complaint… ordered the rack of lamb and very good but too many sauces and mixed flavours. For example, artichoke sauce, ratatouille, pesto, gratin potatoes and gravy. So too many.
Excellent service, and attentive.

Nectar Coffee
Cork
            07/07/2025: Staff were grand but I asked for a matcha to go and was charged a euro extra than what was on the menu. They should say why they charge extra anyways the matcha is just sweet green milk. For 7.25€ i expected a really good matcha but instead  I was really disappointed. Womp. Don’t get the matcha
    
        
            05/07/2025: Great matcha with unsweetened option. I was so happy to find this place. Hubby had a cappuccino and also enjoyed it

Deanrock Bar
Cork
            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.

            12/01/2025: I am ABSOLUTELY APPALLED by the service my family member got today !! We are regulars for years and that is the way they were treated today, and for it the be the owner to have that reaction towards a regular customer is an absolute disgrace. The ladies that work there are fantastic they always greet you with a smile, but safe to say because of the owner!! they will NOT be getting a thing from us after that. I’m sickened!!

Christy's Bar
Cork
            19/10/2025: Surprisingly good pub food right next to the mill.  Really enjoyed my toasted club sandwich and hubby was very impressed with the chowder.  The price was great too
    
        
            18/10/2025: Edit to add another star :)
been there for dinner a few times now, the service is getting better as we get to know the place. perfect pint of Beamish.
recommended dinner options: lamb shank, ribeye steak, fish and chips - all are lovely
Edit to add another star ⭐
Returned for dinner, the pints are quite nice.
Dinner was great and affordable.
Had the ribeye steak with peppercorn sauce, so yummy.
Mrs. had the fish and chips. Portions were generous and tasty.
Overall we like the vibe, seems to attract more locals than tourists. We were there for two hours and could have stayed longer.
Note that dinner service starts at 5, if you're a bit early have some pints and watch golf on the telly.

Caffè Nero
Cork
            22/10/2025: Staff were friendly, had two trainees on duty. The soup had a horried fish aftertaste to it. The panini was very basic even after having it toasted. For the price, not worth it.
    
        
            11/10/2025: Need to update their opening hours, "closed at 5pm for the foreseeable". It is 2025, they should be updating this info rather than wasting peoples time
