The best restaurants in Cork

09/08/2025: Hidden gem for me. Living in Cork 43 years and only found it recently! Staff so nice and customers so friendly even though im a blow in from the north side! Ill keep going back there! Great night was had by all!!

07/07/2025: So I'm a deep west cork native (beara) but I used to call into this bar to play pool anytime I was in the city seeing friends after I dropped out of college in 2012 . Always welcomed , even given free pool 1 day when I changed a 10er for 1 euro coins to play on my own to practice. Roll on the years it's been my local for about the last 6 or 7 years as I've lived in the city . Maybe a little biased but seriously , the best bar I've ever come across , the locals , now friends , are welcoming to newcomers , it's a city pub so the banter and messing is great , I play darts to a decent level so I joined the team and am still there , now I play for the pool team also . The atmosphere is friendly and inviting , if your looking for sports , this is the place , so many screens , different games on each depending on what people want . 2 pool tables , 8 darts boards , poker nights on Thursday , never any trouble either . If you want to sit in peace at a table and have your own space no problem either . And lastly the staff , absolute gems , couldn't be more welcoming and friendly , they quickly become friends . It's like walking into your sitting room with a fire on , you can engage or chill and enjoy . Hands down my favourite bar in the city ❤️ they accommodate music , events , supporters clubs , music every Sunday night . No 1 in cork 💯👌🏼

02/09/2025: I love the place always worth to come back and drink another coffee. <3

28/08/2025: The place is really cool, the staff is very polite, and the service is impeccable. Jonathas gave us excellent service; he was very polite and attentive. I loved everything! I'll definitely be back.

29/08/2025: Beamish! Neat mural, nice street. We were there on a Saturday midday and kids were playing all around the streets (traffic was shut off). It was lovely!

11/08/2025: Please avoid and spend your money elsewhere Before we ordered our last drink we asked the bartender how much drinking up time is allowed and his reply was 30 minutes so we ordered a pint Within 10:Minutes We were been harassed by 3 bouncers I told him politely I was informed I had 30 minutes as the bartender had told me before I ordered my beer. I even asked for a plastic container if they wanted to close early but NO ,Obey the law and be fair , The other negative reviews reflect the same opinions so it’s actually genuine Maybe we will send some undercover gardai to investigate this and your other bars I would appreciate a reply to this review as we are not letting this go . We will send in different people with cameras to investigate your policy . Stop ripping people off

15/06/2025: Room pretty average. No sockets beside the bed. Room looked out onto the entrance to a homeless hostel which had a crowd gathered outside from about 8pm until midnight. When I complained about the noise front desk did nothing. 2 nights with very little sleep. Not good when there on business. Breakfast was average.

11/06/2025: One of the worst hotels in a long time. We had a room without a window. We looked through a glass pane into the hallway and lobby. To our surprise, the breakfast was even worse. On the positive side, the room was basically clean and everything was there. Just no fresh air.

04/08/2025: Atmosphere - and many beers on tap ☺️

01/08/2025: Nice place with a lot of beers on tap

23/08/2025: Went for breakfast. Food and service were so good that I returned for lunch the next day.

15/08/2025: Hi team want to thankyou for an amazing experience. My first time in Ireland and your hospitality was without a doubt best in class. The ladies serving always with a smile and polite. Had a Irish breakfast which had an amazing slice of black pudding which sent me to the moon and back. Keep up the good work. To all of you who read my review you will not regret walking in to De Barras. Thankyou.

08/09/2025: The Bishopstown Bar is always a favourite for our family but we had not been in a year or so and we shocked by the increase in pricing. The steak sandwiches were only okay. Nothing in particular to complain about but nothing to praise either. The scampi was a small portion but delicious! The curry was extremely delicious though adding chicken certainly raised the price. The pasta however was extremely oily, with a pool of it even visible in the photo. The garlic bread was grand and was used to try and soak up the oil. The staff were lovely, the checked on us so regularly it was almost annoying but to be fair it was a quiet night and there were not many other customers. Overall I would come back but I would avoid the pasta dishes.

07/09/2025: Horrible management rude staff and food wasn't all that either avoid this place

16/07/2025: Its a great place and wonderful coffee

29/05/2025: Exquisite coffee and open very early.

28/07/2025: very nice staff and nice food 😊

25/07/2025: I ordered 2 portion of bowl in uber eats. But the quantity is very less not even sufficient for one person. Had to make something else to eat after ordering food from them. Please don’t order online.

13/08/2025: A Can of orange and a chocolate bar , was €5.20 , I thought a bit steep

01/08/2025: If you're looking for Italian specialties and products, you're in the right place. Let Michelangelo advise you, and he'll guide you through his desserts. I really recommend the Tiramisù...so delicious! 😋 not only desserts, but also pizzas and much more...

07/09/2025: Noodles was good, and tasted great, but breaded chicken was over cooked and too hard to bite into...

05/09/2025: Tender meat in an unusual sauce with a warm, hearty soup.

02/08/2025: I just want to say. Yesterday after work I went to Burguer King with my husband. It was quiet and a lady working there was so nice to us, so kind and funny. She made our day with her kindness, really it is the little things that change everything. Thank you lady, you are amazing!

31/07/2025: Great experience at Burger King! The service was quick, the staff was polite, and the food was fresh and tasty. Loved the crispy fries and the Plant based Whopper was just perfect. Will definitely visit again!

11/04/2025: Nice cozy bar,goods pints at a good price 👍

05/04/2025: A great local bar the people In the bar very welcoming and made to know your story price of pint is on point. Quality is brilliant. I love this spot and would highly recommend it to anyone from out of town or travelling around the country. Very nice old school Irish feel to it.
