The best restaurants in Cork

28/02/2025: I was refused a "last call" drink and told by the female bar worker that I had already had a drink on the table. Which was true, I had a half finished pint which I bought before closing time. My friends got served and after that, and i finished my drink and left. The bar worker in question will probably not remember me, as that is the kind of quiet person I am, but I will remember the embarrassment caused to me and will never inter that bar again.

07/01/2025: Lovely friendly staff, a nice bar to visit.

18/02/2025: Normally when shopping in mahon point I come over here for proper grub... highly recommend

17/01/2025: We attended a christening, which was in a marked off section, there was good food, good fellowship and a good night

21/10/2024: Restaurante Haven, pequeño lugar fabuloso, buen menú y una gran relación calidad-precio, gran mini desayuno y encantador café con leche de un solo tiro.

28/01/2025: Disfrutamos de la cocina francesa - influenciada en este restaurante. El filete de filete y la caña de cordero estaban sabrosos. El pescado y las patatas fritas, lento - carne de res y hongos de ajo estaban deliciosos

16/03/2025: Very local and friendly atmosphere, broadcasts the match we requested even though it was not on the program, at the top 💪

10/03/2025: Solid food to have while watching a match and they sell jugs of a few different lagers so you don’t need to go back and forth to the bar.

14/02/2025: I came to the pub for the Cork Singers Club. Great stuff and memorabilia on the walls. Lovely pints of Beamish and Murphy's. Very nice staff. Proper old Irish pub. Bring a sweater can be a bit cold if upstairs.

31/12/2024: Went to see the lee side sessions here a few times great pub to spend an evening

01/04/2025: Great pub and great service...favourite pub in cork

15/03/2025: Great little pub, welcoming staff, live music.

12/04/2025: Recommend for food in the Cork. Absolutely great food and dessert. 2xtimes I was here

12/04/2025: Very disappointing experience. The food was beautiful and the chefs are obviously working hard but the service was particularly bad. Servers were rude and dismissive. We were rushed to order, no pleasantries which was made even more obvious when we overheard how animated and helpful one waiter was to a large group. When we asked for something the waiter muttered something pretended he didn’t hear and walked off. We weren’t checked in with at all. It was a very awkward experience considering the price of the food, it’s a pity because the food was genuinely enjoyable but the service was enough to make us not want to return.

24/03/2025: Great place for a coffee staff so friendly loved it

11/02/2025: Nice bar, great to come and chat with friends

23/11/2024: Cream pints I’ll definitely return. Great atmosphere and spectacular location.

03/01/2025: I order 2 beers, I go out to the smoking area, I order again and the owner tells me I guess it's because I can't come in with my pants😅, I honestly don't know what was wrong with him. Do what you want with your business, but if I can't come in, don't let me order 2 beers, totally ridiculous, when I'm leaving he tells me if he was out, I tell him it's okay, I'm leaving, I'm a gentleman I don't argue, it will be in pubs in Cork where I must say that in the rest they have treated me wonderfully, I am a generous customer and curiously my pants were correct😅

31/12/2024: Fabulous bar great pint of stout .

31/03/2025: The service is terrible! They're impatient, they don't give you time to choose, it seems like they're rushing you to pay and leave. The sweets are good.

16/02/2025: Edit: this is a 2025 update. 6 years ago, this place was amazing. Now it's truly shocking. Greasy pastries, dishonestly small lunch sandwiches. Huge price increase and slash in quality. It's the truth, and sad.

17/03/2025: Cracking Pub, Cracking Bar Staff!

14/03/2025: Didn’t go during a match, but seems a great place to go watch Celtic. Reasonable prices, good craic.

08/04/2025: Made the mistake of looking at reviews online before coming here, it meant we already had our pizzas eyed up and particularly the breadsticks, it all amounted to a lot of food but as the nice lady serving us said we can have the leftovers for breakfast. The breadsticks were totes amaze and is definitely worth getting if you head this way. The pizzas were brilliant, cooked to perfection, I ordered the carnivore pizza which came with black pudding so I was a very full boy pretty soon. The girlfriend ordered the Emilia and wouldn’t let me try her pizza which means it must have been good. Quite a small establishment but the guys there made us feel very welcome and insisted we move to a bigger table to feel more comfortable

27/03/2025: They have to improve their dough yet. Sometimes it's a little chewy...
