The River Club
Cork
13/09/2025: The food at the restaurant (and the hotel in general) saved the weekend at this place. Service at the hotel lacks attention to details but certain staff members managed to save the night. Food was really good.
02/09/2025: My experience was like, are we on planet Earth or in another dimension? Everything was so perfect.
I loved the bar outside the hotel by the river, which was mesmerizing. I drank two Guinness beers, which is my favorite despite being in Cork, and they're loyal to Murphy's here.
The staff are always on top of things, and you're treated like royalty.
I highly recommend this hotel, and especially this bar, because it stands out from all the other hotels. All the best for your future.

16/09/2025: Had breakfast here as part of a group - fast attentive service and tasty food - had not been in here for decades but it's a nice " nooky" bar with an outside covered area

Bright Side
Cork
18/09/2025: Great little spot with very reasonable prices. I ordered the Eggs on Toast. Bread was a delicious chewy sourdough and the eggs were fried perfectly with creamy yolks that were spreadable on the toast. Great breakfast for 8€. Staff is friendly and the interior is cozy and accommodating. Highly recommended!
09/09/2025: We had an amazing breakfast here while visiting Cork. It's small and was packed at the time we were there. But they were very accommodating and helped locate a table for us. They have gluten-free bread and gluten-free oat milk. Mocha and chai were fabulous. Everything was delicious!

Jacobs on the Mall
Cork
14/09/2025: Beautiful space, loads of light through many skylights.
Excellent service, friendly and discreet.
There were 3 of us dining.
We opted for the early dinner 40 euro 3 courses.
Good options for most diners, I had the curry potatoes, the ragu with rigatoni, and finished with the Eton mess.
If we eat with our eyes, mine were very impressed.
My 2 companions also enjoyed their meals and appetites sated.
There are enough options on the full menu to please every diner.
Highly recommend.
13/09/2025: We had a very pleasant experience at Jacobs on the Mall. The place is perfect, very spacious and comfortable. We ordered the early Bird and it was such a great surprise – everything was absolutely delicious. Our waitress was really kind and attentive, which made the visit even better. Everything was great and we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommended!❤️

Box'd! Coffee Co
Cork
04/10/2025: Expanding on the review following the owners lovely response. Service is excellent, though due to the popularity and size, queues can be quite long. Atmosphere for a drive through is difficult to assess, so I've upped the score there. I didn't enjoy the cakes I purchased - they were definitely fresh, but "felt" stale, if that makes sense. Very difficult to pinpoint, apologies.
07/09/2025: I’ve never had the privilege to visit you but Nic you are one fabulous human being. Sending you, love, laughter and courage xxxxx

The Kingsley
Cork
20/08/2025: My favourite place to stay in Cork.
Fabulous food and excellent staff.
Dinner recommendations-yellow curry or chowder.
Breakfast - Eggs Benedict or Eggs Royale
18/08/2025: I stayed at this hotel for 8 nights. The hotel staff is very friendly, both at reception and at breakfast and in the restaurant.
The beds are super comfortable.
The breakfast is very good.
The pool is very nice and clean; the outdoor pool is simply magnificent.
The hotel staff at reception, breakfast, and at the spa are very kind and welcoming.
One small drawback is that there is no small refrigerator in the room. Please ask the restaurant and bistro staff to lower their plates and glasses.

Costigan's Pub
Cork
28/07/2025: Beautiful pub, every corner is a gem.
26/07/2025: We stayed two nights and went back because we enjoyed it so much.
A good Guinness and a very varied spirits and whisky menu.
Live music from 9 to 11 p.m.
The venue has a very thoughtful decor; it's huge and somewhat labyrinthine.

Greenes
Cork
05/09/2025: Amazing place. We came here for dinner on Saturday night with my boyfriend. Very welcoming and friendly staff. We asked to change our table and were very grateful for a more comfortable seat. Food was wonderful. One of the best restaurants in Cork
31/08/2025: Lovely staff - friendly and attentive. Nice ambiance with a pretty, illuminated waterfall. Starters were tasty but mains were average. Fairly bland sea bass. Dessert menu was disappointing, not a huge selection and fairly basic. The cheese board was particularly poor value….€14 for 3 pieces of cheese and 3 crackers, a handful of cashew nuts, some bread and some tired looking grapes is too expensive. A party of four with 3 courses, a bottle of wine and coffees was €238.00.
