The best restaurants in Cork city council

22/03/2026: Loved the live music last night! Service was great. It's a smaller pub, that's lively and fun to hang out in!

20/03/2026: Brilliant pub - brilliant management - cannot speak more highly of the atmosphere and culture there … love love love this spot…

08/12/2025: This coffee shop is an absolute gem! The coffee is delicious—rich, aromatic, and perfectly prepared. The homemade cakes are out of this world, truly irresistible. The owner is wonderful: friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. And the view of the city is just amazing, creating the perfect atmosphere to relax and enjoy the moment. Highly recommend!

08/12/2025: Cosy atmosphere and very friendly staff. Highly recommend their cappuccino coffee 👌

07/11/2025: Situated in the center on the corner of North Main Street this bar is a nice upmarket establishment with a cosy atmosphere. The staff were friendly, the drinks cold and the toilets spotless.

05/11/2025: Great service, very attentive. The double fried fries were great, however the smaller ones were hard to chew. Ribs spot on. Can be a bit dark in certain areas

25/11/2025: Unreal spot and plenty of local gluten-free beer from 9 White Deer Brewery

16/11/2025: Fanrastic bar, lovely atmosphere, great gigs and comfortable outside areas

29/03/2026: Having grown up in an Irish household where everything is très très bien cuiller, I was a little hesitant when I saw this steak option on the menu was medium rare, but it was absolutely delicious. The entire dining experience was wonderful , great atmosphere, lovely helpful staff. We also were not rushed out the door, which was greatly appreciated, we were able to relax and have dessert and an extra drink at our leisure. We will be back soon.

22/02/2026: Very disappointed overall.Took my son for a special occasion.Very loud on arrival from people at bar counter asked to move but staff member said the group were leaving ( which they did ) .We ordered 2 starters both small ,tasty enough. .However it was the 2 main courses that were so disappointing I ordered the hake ,brocolini and mash and my son ordered the featherblade of beef ,both portions were small ,the broccoli was 2 pieces of tenderstem.My sons beef was small he was starving after it. .With one non alcoholic wine meal came to 92 euro ..I dont mind paying for something if Its filling and good value but we both left hungry .My son went home for a bowl of cereal.Overall very disappointing experience.Wish I had seen previous persons review ( Sarah ) bfore I booked.We had similar experiences.

07/04/2026: We weren't able to try it because, even though we arrived very early, they don't accept children. I had done some research beforehand, but I didn't find this information... Anyway, it was very crowded. Response to the owner: We arrived at 6:00 PM on April 2, 2026, and one of your employees told us that you don't accept children as soon as they entered. Perhaps if you accept children, you should let your employees know.

06/04/2026: We're very close together, nice people, nice music, very folk

13/04/2026: I have been here many times from the cocktail bar upstairs to the food and bars downstairs and have always had a great time. Excellent food and drinks.

04/04/2026: They served food until late! Very good place

26/12/2025: There are holes in the seats, toilets are atrocious, amongst many other issues. Just get them upholstered, sort the place out. you can keep the charm of the pub... it doesn't need to be a dive

21/12/2025: Great atmosphere, love the location too, drinking space indoors or enclosed outdoor area. Friendly staff.

24/03/2026: Arrowhae (if misspelled i apologise) was our server, and absolute pleasure. She was so bubbly and helpful. Food was to die for. Highly highly recommended.

21/03/2026: Wonderful Restaurant Exceptional service by Mr. Álvaro, fantastic SUGGESTIONS. BRILLIANT professionalism, sensitivity in making the right choices. Thank you to Mr. Álvaro. French onion soup, Creamy burrata, Confit duck leg, Angus cheek based on Burgundy sauce, Roast beef rib. Everything was wonderful.

05/04/2026: Amazing food here always and fantastic service .. Highly recommend the Brook Inn. Nice touch on Easter Sunday with free eggs for the kiddies !!

04/04/2026: Gorgeous food every time served by attentive staff who are just genuinely lovely people. Highly recommend 👌

21/04/2026: Great beer with friendly service and fantastic pizzas. Where would you be going

10/04/2026: Nice atmosphere, good value good and fantastic local beers

18/03/2026: Cask was lovely and has an array of fun custom cocktails to choose from, including your standard drink options. I sat at the bar and enjoyed a fantastic monty python themed mezcal drink ("Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries") and pork belly with lentil stew that I could've happily eaten over and over again! The bar staff was super nice and helpful, and one bartender took the time to recommend different drinks and explain what each was and how they were unique. Overall it was a wonderful experience and I'd gladly go again! The only downside, which might be unique to being solo and sitting at the bar, was that it was a little challenging to get attention of a staff member to both order and pay.

25/02/2026: Excellent experience! Drinks, food, and service was A+ I’ll change nothing. Place was clean and good ambiance.

20/09/2025: Great spot, had a lovely sausage roll and then very nice coffee cake and Chai latte. Only thing is the place is popular so it's often full. I went around 11 on a Monday and by 12 it was full up

15/09/2025: It is my favourite coffee shop (and imo the best one) in Cork. The staff is the best. So lovely! The coffee is amazing. Always on point. They've got some bites if you're hungry (the chef/baker is amazing) and the sweets... 🤤 The sweets!!! That brownie is by far the best I've had around here. Some of the best coffee shop cakes in Cork for sure. Oh and the friendly atmosphere... Highly recommended! ❤️

29/10/2025: One of the best coffees in Cork. Lovely staff.

10/10/2025: Best place to get a coffee in Cork!! 😃

30/03/2026: They gave us several wrong items. Boiled white rice (microwaved) instead of brown and wild rice. Cans of coke and coke zero instead of Fanta lemon and sanpellegrino chinnotto (caffeine gives me migraines so couldn't drink either of them). A can of sparkling water when I ordered still. Won't order delivery from them again.

30/03/2026: Great food and service. Pleasant atmosphere for having lunch. Really liked the Crispy chilli chicken. Would highly recommend.
