The short walk downhill is easy to access the city and it's a very short uphill taxi back. We'll certainly return

25/03/2026: Off busy narrow street, so have a good navigation so you don't miss the entry like we did, as it was a bear to get back here. Otherwise, this has been the best hotel we have stayed while in Ireland so far. The staff and hotels attention to details are top notch. You should not be disappointed!

30/11/2025: Had a lovely impromptu dinner date here. Food was delicious and well priced. Small internal seating area and though tables are close together, we felt it was still private enough. Service brilliant and staff very friendly.

29/11/2025: We had a fantastic experience at this restaurant. The service was outstanding from the moment we arrived. We originally booked a table for four, but since we ended up being five, the staff went out of their way to arrange a larger table for us without any trouble. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the team was incredibly attentive and friendly. We truly appreciated their flexibility and kindness. Highly recommended!

30/11/2025: Amazing food. Fantastic staff. Looking forward to next time already

25/04/2026: In my 8 months living currently in Cork, I always had frequent Tequila Jack’s and I never had any problems until the last night. Me and some friends went to enjoy the night, and for a normal circumstance a friend of mine forgot his ID at home. It’s visible that he it’s a person of legal age. When he regularly went to buy some drink, the bar man in a very rude asked for my friend’s ID. Once my friend said to the bar man that he hadn’t his ID, the bar man said he couldn’t sell any drink. Then, I bought a drink to share with my friend and the bar man came to us screaming saying the my friend was prohibited to drink. After this, he didn’t drink anymore, but the two bar man that was in there started to intimidate us in a very bad way. Looking, making gestures to us to say the he was watching us. Unfortunately for this reason we won’t be back to this place. One of the bar man was a brazilian very rude and unfriendly. This kind of behaviour shouldn’t be allowed in place that we all are used to go.

23/04/2026: Music was to loud but service and food was good

16/11/2025: The best Beamish we tried all weekend in Cork.

06/11/2025: giving this place 5 stars feels right and wrong. right because it’s a great place for a drink - wrong because i don’t want other people going and making it busy

21/03/2026: Visited this pub on paddys day and had a great time bar staff were great and music was great def recomend it

02/04/2026: Our first visit and really impressed. A great selection of toppings. The food was piping hot and really tasty. The service was excellent and the whole area was spotlessly clean.

08/02/2026: My partner and I have been coming here for years. Even though we no longer live in Ireland, we make sure we come here when we visit. Excellent pizza, probably the best in the country. The menu is quite small but everything is excellent and stays consistently excellent. The pizzas are large and the dough is just right. The inside has a nice atmosphere and the staff are always friendly and helpful. You can see the pizzas being made in the oven. We usually make a reservation as they are always busy but if you arrive soon after opening, you can get a table without waiting if you're not a large group. It's also a good spot for solo diners.
