23/12/2025: Mini golf was the opposite of horrible dont change it or else 1 star from me :D The cheese sauce is too cheesy and too thick The bowling 10/10 no notes. But please change the intro when it says how many pins you hit on the tv please .they didn’t make sense at all. From Julie and her nephew Max. :)

23/12/2025: Our third time to Airtastic - always a hit for our now 11 year old. The bounce park has a decent setup, nice viewing area, solid refreshment stand and connects indoors to the adjacent arcade and bowling. The arcade is a bit worn, a few games weren't working or were glitchy which was disappointing, but still had fun.

22/02/2026: As always staff is lovely and very helpful, food is amazing and on time ☺️

18/02/2026: Me and my Fiance ate here last Saturday night for valentines. Upon entering the restaurant we got two drinks at the bar. There was a great atmosphere and a magician that was doing rounds to tables but unfortunately he never got around to us. We ordered Quesadillas to start which were tasteless they came with a dip that also had very little flavour all we could taste was coriander. I got the chicken fajitas for main which again was tasteless other than coriander I had to ask a waitress for a spicy salsa to put with it because all it came with was sour crème guacamole and chopped tomatoes and peppers and onions that also had no flavor the chicken was cooked lovely and tender though. My Fiance got the burrito and he said it was equivalent to what you would get at a petrol station. He also asked for another pint during the meal that never arrived which he asked two servers to follow up on. Over all a lovely restaurant with good atmosphere but the food is lacking.

08/11/2025: Small bar, sometimes with live music, very cutely decorated.

19/10/2025: Great staff, great venue, great music...

24/10/2025: Lovely pub, under 5€ per pint of Heineken

06/03/2026: THE MASSAMAN BEEF CURRY IS SO GOOD, TRULY THE BEST TAKEAWAY MEAL I HAVE EVER ORDERED. INCREDIBLE AND BIG PORTIONS

19/02/2026: I love Asian cuisine, and your place is simply amazing for discovering new gastronomic flavors. And the staff are nice and friendly. Thank you, I'll be back.

01/03/2026: The food was exceptional!!! The service was good too. We got chimichanga and pollo with mushrooms and sauce

24/02/2026: There were four of us French people looking for a good value restaurant in Cork at 8:30 pm... After being turned away from pubs and other restaurants, we stumbled upon Café Mexicana. What a pleasant surprise! Everything was perfect: the welcome, the service, the warm atmosphere, and the excellent food! Homemade dishes, and what can I say about the homemade desserts? We didn't know what to choose... A special mention goes to the Banana Bailey's with its warm homemade chocolate sauce and three scoops of vanilla ice cream. A dessert like that in France would cost over 10 euros! Thank you, we'll definitely be back!

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.

14/01/2026: Long established pizzeria in Douglas with a vegan option on request.

02/02/2026: Love going to instanbul and having their food. Excellent food with quick service. You’ll not be disappointed.

27/01/2026: Had the mixed doner kebab to take away. Good service, waited a bit long because I didn’t hear the person calling out the order (even though I wasn’t far). Really good taste with plenty of sauce, a bit messy to eat (you might want to have extra napkins). Special mention for the paper that doubles as a cover, perfect for this kind of meal. I recommend 👍

20/02/2026: Excellent pint of Guinness, cozy, local, fun crowd, and attentive staff.

02/02/2026: We had my Brothers 70th Birthday Party here Saturday night what a fantastic night from start to finish the staff were fantastic the barmen were so helpful and the food was beautiful compliments to the chef but I must say the DJ was absolutely fantastic he catered for us all and as my Brother loves country music he made his night so Thankyou to everybody.l personally had many functions here and would highly recommend booking here
