The Plaza
Cork
30/06/2025: Tapas night here was magical. Nikos the waiter really knows how to tend to the guests needs and the chef has nailed the mediterean cuisine with a hammer.
Bravo The Plaza Ballincollig
30/06/2025: I’ve been all around the globe and I can safely say, this is by far the best Mediterranean cuisine I’ve ever had the pleasure of being inside. With the calm music that draws you in and the warm welcome you receive from the front of house lady, the plaza really is the gift that keeps on giving. Having said that I’d love some more options for vegetarians. -EH

Mok's
Cork
28/05/2025: This pub is one of those pubs where you go there for the first time and you will definitely like it. It is a pub frequented by locals from this area and surroundings and also when the students are celebrating those student weeks this pub is very cool and laughs from beginning to end. I had the privilege of being there and only with the locals it was very good, fun and very friendly, I really liked it, in fact I loved it and I recommend it to anyone in the area to go there.

Fernroyd House
Cork
13/07/2025: We absolutely love Fernroyd House. My family of 8 stayed here, occupying 4 rooms. Each room was spacious and lovely, each also having its own ensuite bathroom. The made-from-scratch breakfast (including fresh baked scones!) was delicious & the perfect way to start the day. Tony and Avril are amazing hosts. The location is great… bars & restaurants all very walkable. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!
30/06/2025: Our stay at Fernroyd House was a great pleasure. The spacious and quiet room and en-suite bathroom were neat and comfortable. Breakfast was a wonderful experience with fruit and self made yogurt, freshly baked scones and delicious meals from the menu. Tony’s and Avril’s service made us perfectly happy. We will definitely return! Thank you for everything.

Bracken's Bakery
Cork
21/07/2025: They make great cakes, sandwiches and more. Yet if your going for a coffee you may be left there. Today while standing for that coffee you had 3 people serving a sandwich bar. Little recognition for those standing at the take away counter.
Very disappointing and not for the first time
17/06/2025: Beautiful birthday cake design.
Whats a lovely customer services
Thank you so much Girls

El Fenix Bar
Cork
15/06/2025: I had high hopes for this place, but after witnessing what goes on behind closed doors, I can’t recommend it.
The lack of professionalism and questionable after-hours behaviour were deeply disappointing.
What’s worse, after leaving my honest opinion, I received an intimidating message. That says more about the place than any review could.
I was a regular customer. I expected decency, not fear.
Not sure if management is aware, but if they are, that alone should be a red flag.
Think twice before supporting this place.
14/06/2025: El fenix is possibly the best bar in cork city. Every single member of staff makes sure to make you feel welcomed. Savage music, beautiful pints, best spot in the city

Sober Lane
Cork
27/06/2025: We booked a staff night out for last week on Friday. There was 15 of us. The minute we arrived, we were told there is no table service, as they are under staffed.
There was 4 barmen at the bar and it was not that busy.
They refused to take even our food order at the table.
I then had to take an order from all of us and I didn't even get thanks from them.
Food was absolutely gorgeous, but we didn't enjoy it as the service was absolutely awful.
I have worked in restaurants-bars and this is absolutely unacceptable.
We dropped well over €1000 there and left with a feeling that we will never go back, as our business was not appreciated.
21/06/2025: Great lively spot, good atmosphere, good pints.
However, the service was poor, and the staff just didn't appear to want to be there.
Another example of a pub that wants to be just a restaurant.
In my opinion.

Canty's
Cork
30/07/2025: Everything a pub should be. Comfy seats, cozy atmosphere; attentive, pleasant staff.
06/07/2025: Best pint of Murphy's I've ever had. When the bar closed, the staff kindly escorted us out the back to the pub next door with our pints.

Thompsons Bar & Restaurant
Cork
29/07/2025: The food here is delicious and the staff are incredibly kind and courteous, they really make it a joy to dine here
27/07/2025: I had high hopes, but unfortunately, this was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had.
My starter arrived cold, and after sending it back, it took 10 minutes to return—by then, my partner had already finished his. The chicken in my main was nice, but the mash lacked any flavour. I asked for extra gravy to help with that, but it took another 5 minutes to arrive, and what I was given wasn’t even the same gravy that was originally on my plate—so I didn’t end up using it.
Despite already deciding I wouldn’t return, the final straw was seeing a €3 charge on the bill for that extra (unused) gravy. I dine out frequently and am generally quite easygoing, but this visit really missed the mark on both food and service.

French Tacos
Cork
08/07/2025: The worst tiramisu I have ever had. The layer didn't go well. I felt more like eating a dry tiramisu with not properly layered with cream. And the coffee powder sprinkling was so bad. They use the same base for both biscoff and tiramisu.
03/07/2025: Absolutely amazing! Huge portions at a very low price, full of flavour and protein. One sandwich can feed a starving man! Friendly staff and great service in French Tacos– truly impressed. 🌟

Dulce Bun House
Cork
23/07/2025: Great coffee, great buns, great people!
20/07/2025: PLEASE READ
If u could rate this a 0 out of 5 I would have. I entered this place to use the bathroom and the staff kindly said yes to me and a friend. (We both entered together as to avoid a queue). Then as me and my (woman) friend was in there washing hands a manager (or owner) banged on the bathroom door and as we came out I calmly said there was no need to bang on the door. He accused me of doing drugs in the bathroom and he then threatened me and said he would break my neck. When I tried to explain it to the other owner she blamed me. This will be getting a report to the guards and I’ve never felt so shaken up and frightened in my life.

Upstairs
Cork
28/04/2025: Exquisite cocktails, some of our own creations! Good atmosphere, and Alex takes great care of you!👌🏻
25/02/2025: Upstairs will craft you an incredibly well-balanced cocktail. They put pride and passion into every drink they make; many of which include house-made infusions. Open late. This is the perfect bar and atmosphere for the beginning, middle, or end to your night.
