The best restaurants in Cork

07/04/2026: Great place great food, nice selection of food too

07/04/2026: Good staff fast services....Well done...

07/04/2026: Boiiiii TS Sooo tufffff🤣, so much gossip going around in John Graces fried chicken ✌️❤️🥹

07/04/2026: The manifestation of my sins came to live and chase me the whole time and i met this dud (the food is good tho)

27/12/2025: Both my friend and I got spiked there a week ago, be careful with your drinks ladies

06/12/2025: The service today 06/12 was dreadful , the two bar staff on had zero observational skill or job coordination - they repeatedly messed up orders , wine was being served in half pint glasses and one person was left waiting over 20mins for a single pint because the bar man had literally forgotten he existed despite taking his order - for a city pub you would expect to have servers who are competent - the most frustrating thing is the fact it wasn’t even that busy and during the day …. I wouldn’t be in a hurry to return , many other pubs close by with great service , a duo of Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder would have worked better behind the bar today

28/02/2026: I dine in Thursday 26/07/26. Food was lovely and very reasonable priced. I decided tonight 27/02/26 to treat my family to take out. It worked out more expensive for take out than dine in ????

19/02/2026: We ordered the lunch menu. The food was good, but we were a little hungry, it wasn't enough to be honest

23/12/2025: I ordered a brownie and an americano. The brownie tasted like it was only half cooked. The coffee was just plain bad.

22/12/2025: Disappointed with our visit this morning. Barrista had zero Christmas cheer and it kind of set the tone. Got our order wrong too which didn't make things better for either of us (was corrected). Given how busy it is in town this morning, I would not be surprised if she had been left single-handed which contributed to the tone. The coffee was great though (I pop in regularly enough) so hopefully it was just the grey dreary weather getting to her. 😢

19/11/2025: Super bar. Came down from Belfast and a friend recommended this place - did not disappoint. Pints were great, staff were sound and I could have stayed for hours more for the music alone! Will absolutely be back again.

17/07/2025: Super place for a match, a chat, a laugh and one of the best pints of guinness in Cork! Great staff too!!

20/03/2026: got my hand stuck in the claw machine

05/03/2026: I had my first Irish Supermac's here. It was yummy.

21/11/2025: I really enjoy coming here for coffee and toast, it’s one of my favorite spots. Recently, though, I’ve noticed things seem a bit busier than usual. There’s often just one barista serving with a queue forming, and a few tables waiting to be cleaned, which made me leave the last two times I tried to stop by. It’s still a great place with great coffee; just wanted to share in case the team might be a bit short-staffed lately.

17/11/2025: The drinks and food are really good, but from what I’ve seen, the cafe is chronically understaffed. I often see trainee baristas left on their own to deal with long queues of customers. There are lots of opportunities here to improve service. There should be a minimum of two baristas at the counter.

20/09/2025: I haven’t had coffee anywhere else but Costa for a long time, but I have to say this: your team is really very amateur. Maybe it’s not their fault, but they do everything wrong. I just wanted to let you know :) If you’d like, I can help you with this free of charge :) Because this is not normal.

29/08/2025: I've been a Costa customer for many years, especially this one. I often compare going to Costa for a coffee, or espresso, to going to church on Sundays. The difference is that it's become a routine here to go every day in the late afternoon, catch up with colleagues, and spend a couple of hours here at Costa. It has a beautiful terrace, and inside, there are many tables. The staff are all professionals, but they don't wait on tables. You can use the Wi-Fi, after all. It's a place to have a good time and a meeting point. I wish you the best of luck and many years of success.

25/02/2026: Ocean houses food is unbelievable. I wouldn’t recommend anywhere else like I would recommend here. Their satay sauce was the nicest thing ever ate. Please try it.

26/10/2025: Quite possibly the worst spice bag I've ever had. No veg in it. Just chips and rock hard shredded chicken. The spice was literally just a powder mix thrown in with the chicken a chips. Terrible quality.

28/09/2025: Great bar fantastic down to earth staff. Great place to go for a pint on your own or with friends.

01/09/2025: The bartender is a sight to behold! Effective and highly professional. We stopped by because it was on our way home and thought we'd have the "second to last" one. The atmosphere was masculine and, above all, older... But it was worth it.

01/01/2026: On New Year’s Eve, we were deliberately ignored for over 10 minutes while staff happily served everyone who arrived after us. We only got any attention once we called them out on it. The service felt blatantly discriminatory — unless you’re Brazilian, don’t expect to be treated properly. The staff’s attitude was arrogant, dismissive, and completely unprofessional. Easily one of the worst bar experiences I’ve had. Save yourself the frustration and avoid this place altogether.

26/10/2025: Best parties, best drinks, best staff ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

08/12/2025: Best Authentic South Indian Kerala food with affordable and top quality. Thank you

25/11/2025: We ordered butter chicken curry. Quantity is too low, Cost is too high (euro14). Better you can go for some other Indian foods.

29/03/2026: This place is the pits, Not just on this occasion but many times before, The food is cold and overcooked, The staff would be better off at home. Never again and we have given this place every chance....

13/02/2026: Never get orders right. then when you ring and complain they don't want to help you at all. They forgot my kids food. Food we did receive was cold and thrown together. Won't be ordering or visiting again

05/04/2026: Won't ever go here after they stopped a man with 1 leg in a wheelchair for wearing a tracksuit. Very bad form

04/04/2026: Food was basic but good. Bar staff were very friendly, but very dissapointed with the 1m refurb. A manager there was so rude to customers and very arrogent. Poor layout and far too dark. Looks like they have tried to make a local pub into a city pub. 99.9 % of the reviews are for previous pub before the refurb.
