The best restaurants in Cork

25/03/2026: Nice bar but the young fellas behind it could learn how to serve people properly. I waited to get served for about 10 minutes. They kept serving others who had come to the bar after me. Tunnel vision. I pointed it out to a barman..got a shrug, and he still went & served other people.. he finally came back and took my order 5 minutes later. Very poor service. Chicken Burger I ordered arrived with about 6 chicken goujons inside it...wasnt a burger at all.

17/09/2026: I ordered a decaf iced latte. When I tried it, it tasted only like milk so I explained that to the barista and asked for an extra shot. They charged me another 60c. I’m so fine with paying for another shot when necessary but I feel like their iced drink cups are way too big so the milk really dilutes the coffee. I gave up 1/3 of the way into my coffee because it really still just tasted like milk 😅

11/09/2026: i went in and the barista started to roast me. not sure he understands his job.

18/08/2026: The deli is open early and it's always full stocked, the shop itself is bit expensive, the staff are lovely.

06/08/2026: Pump 3 is not working properly. Not loading unlead but still counting money.

18/07/2026: I was denied entry as I was wearing inappropriate shoes which were a flat sandal (sandals in 28 degree heat in July) and my niece also had sandals on, bear in mind there were people in there with runners on. A homophobic reaction by the staff in my opinion. I will not be returning and I will be spreading the word. Avoid

07/06/2026: This pub used to be one of my favourites in Cork and the management changed, now it looks like be running by teens, poor service, very awkward behaviour, basic unwelcoming environment. This pub is not as busy as used to be and people probably is avoiding to be there.

01/05/2026: They will take joining fee then you have to stay for 3 months if you want to try the gym. Then they will lie about cancellation fee when asked to cancel the membership (possibly due to lack of their own policy knowledge). Took them 2 months to fix the leg extension machine. Staff is friendly but misguiding. The gym itself is mediocre.

07/04/2026: Well equipped gym with sauna, very clean facilities. Great variety of classes all included in your membership. Staff and the atmosphere is amazing. PT, workout plan whenever you need it 💪 Guys you are doing an amazing job ❤️ Thank you 😊

01/08/2026: got my car washed there today a young lad with a baseball hat + black t.shirt. when he was washing it he just used the sponge on the windows + around the booth. didn't use it for Any other part of the car. he just dipped the brush in around the wheels. he washed it off good.

16/09/2026: Very polite and Friendly staff. lovely coffee and treats.

12/07/2026: Not recommended if it’s lunch time and you’re vegetarian. This place came in as recommended so we went there. They were out of breakfast options (at least the vegetarian ones) and out of four items in lunch menu, not one was vegetarian. And it’s weird as it’s 2026! Having said that, the staff was good. Limited seating space and most were takeout. ----------------------------------- Response to Owner's Comment: I didn't see B&D competing with Circle K, but if that's who you're competing with, then sure! Ratings are based on overall experiences, and it's okay if you don't agree.

25/06/2026: From the minute I walked into The Address Hotel Cork, I knew we had made the right choice for our wedding. Everything was absolutely amazing from start to finish. The staff were unbelievable. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they accommodated every request I had with a smile. My son has autism, and the care, kindness, and understanding they showed him meant the world to us. They truly went above and beyond to make sure our whole family felt comfortable and looked after. I had some unique ideas for the day, from Stormtroopers and Darth Vader to lighting and smoke effects, and the team embraced every single one of them. They made everything happen flawlessly, and every detail was spot on. The food was absolutely divine, the décor was stunning, and the service was exceptional throughout the entire day. Since the wedding, so many of our guests have commented on how incredible everything was—from the delicious food and beautiful venue to the fantastic staff and the overall atmosphere. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue. Thank you to everyone at The Address Hotel Cork for making our day so special and creating memories that we will treasure forever. I would recommend them to anyone planning their wedding without hesitation.

05/06/2026: I recently stayed at The Address Hotel in Cork and I can't praise it enough! It's a beautiful, typically Irish hotel, full of charm and in a fantastic location in the heart of Cork. The rooms are spacious, tastefully decorated, and offer all modern amenities. On our first evening, we had a minor technical issue in our room, but the hotel staff were incredibly helpful. We were immediately given a different room, and from then on, everything was perfect. We also spent an evening in the hotel bar – it was really lovely, the atmosphere is simply wonderful. And from the balcony, we had a breathtaking view of the city. An absolute 5-star experience – I'd love to come back!

23/08/2026: What a fab place for a party! We booked the inside/outdoor area for a small birthday party and it was the perfect venue! We booked via email with no hassle. Such a lovely spot and staff were all lovely. We didn’t have food but it looked great. Thank you

02/07/2026: We had our Summer Party here just last weekend. Just wanted to share what amazing hosts Goldbergs were to us. Food was incredible and atmosphere was second to none. Thank you to everyone at Goldbergs for making our night what is was. We will definitely be back next summer. Pat and everyone at Alpha Automation.

13/10/2026: Wasn't that impressed had to ask staff to clear our table as it hadn't been cleared after the previous customers. This is often the case. Also not much choice of food at 15:00 on a Friday. We have decided to try somewhere else next time. As this wasn't our first time here.

10/09/2026: Very clean and tidy, efficient and polite staff, and a good range of items to choose from. Plenty of seating both inside and outside in the courtyard, but the nearby road can be noisy.

26/07/2026: Nice local chinese takeaway and restaurant, tasty and affordable, lovely staff

11/07/2026: Awesome. Very good food and very nice people.

05/09/2026: Small location but packed to the rafters with stock. Well worth a visit.

27/08/2026: Large Asian supermarket with a very wide selection of sauces, noodles and frozen goods. This store is much larger than any other Asian store I’ve been to in Cork. I would definitely recommend you come see what they have.

20/10/2026: It was just average. The food is not very good so I wouldn't go again. The views if you are near the window are lovely.
