Bright Side
Cork
26/12/2025: Bright Side has become a regular stop in our morning. The staff are always welcoming, the coffee is up there with the best in Cork, and the white chocolate and raspberry muffins are to die for.
09/10/2025: Lovely little spot for a coffee. The service is very friendly and welcoming. Coffee always delicious. I docked a star for the Hallumi bagel because I just thought it tasted a bit odd with the combination of ingredients. It was nice enough but just a bit too sweet with the squash and the caramelised onion relish. I was a little disappointed I hadn’t ordered something else. Aside from that I do enjoy the setup of this cafe it’s bright and airy and nice to sit in.

The Shelbourne
Cork
23/12/2025: Tremendous whiskey selection and knowledgeable staff. Charming when decorated for Christmas, but a warm, inviting place regardless of the season. If you’re an Irish whiskey fan, this is the place to spend your money - let Rory or his staff point you to things you wouldn’t find otherwise. Pro tip: read the handwritten tasting notes on the bottles they fetch for you.
12/12/2025: A fantastic pub with a good beer selection and nearly 600 whiskies. The atmosphere was great but the service was second to none. Ricky was a excellent guide to the whisky select and a dashing dresser to boot.
Sarah could not do enough for us. Thanks to both of you for a unforgettable evening in Cork.

Kielys Chipper
Cork
03/11/2025: Great customer service.
Chips are beautiful so fresh and crispy
23/10/2025: I have a severe allergy to both milk and gluten, I don’t eat out at restaurants in the US much due to this. Kiely’s made me feel so comfortable with their allergy protocol and listing allergens on their menu as well. The fish and chips were delicious and such a treat. I love how light the breading was and had zero reactions. 💜 I will certainly visit again before I fly back home.

Mutton Lane Inn
Cork
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.

Sin É
Cork
01/01/2026: First time back in Cork in about 30 years. The people changed but the atmosphere and overall feeling was exactly as I remembered. Have the Beamish and Red Breast when you are there. The bar staff was the best. Thank you.
31/12/2025: Venue for traditional Irish music. On my 'must visit' list when I'm in Cork.

Umi
Cork
21/11/2025: Good vegetarian food, friends fast staff. Always hot and delicious.
13/11/2025: I tried falafel again for the first time since I was a child (wanted to give it another go!) and I absolutely loved it!!! The pitta I chose even had eggplant (aubergine) which I don’t normally like but it was still great.
My friend and I did takeaway, it was super quick and the staff were friendly! They were easy to talk to and I think waiting for our food took about 10 minutes or less.
Turns out I do like falafel and I will be back again!
