The River Club
Cork
17/11/2024: Went for the Grill Room Sunday Roast for 2, hugely disappointing, None of the 3 meats served were roast or part of an actual roasted joint, they were simply normal cuts of meat, also no roast potatoes and the portion sizes were terrible.
17/10/2024: Lovely place. Good environment. Nice terrace. Good vibe.
However, the main point is, after the dinner experience... do I want to be back? Is it cost price benefits balanced? Probably not. Way too costly for the "return of investment"
I see a lot of reviews about such amazing food, but let's be honest, amazing is something else. This is just ok.
Good and friendly service.

Service & food were excellent. and what a wonderful experience upon arrival ! Delicious food and service with a smile, plenty of options for Adults and kids to choose from. The staff made sure kids food was served first so adults could then eat meal with no issues. Barman Patrick was really friendly & so lovely & very accommodating.Service was fast for drinks & food

Friars Walk Tavern
Cork
11/09/2024: You’re only stop if watching Celtic play a match, big screens and plenty of small ones and the place fills up with die hard Celts which creates a superb atmosphere especially for the old firm games. The stout is very good here too and the local Beamish can be got for a fiver a pint, which is fair given the proximity of the pub to the city centre, just a 5 min walk down the hill.
No beer garden which is a disappointment and no food options but it’s not that type of establishment, all about the pints and football which is fine by me
11/09/2024: The best pub in Cork for Celtic matches. HH

Flannery's Bar
Cork
23/10/2024: A Great Place to Relax and Have Fun!
Flannery's Irish Pub & Lounge is a real gem on Glasheen Rd in Cork. The atmosphere here is fantastic – cozy, friendly, and authentically Irish. The bartenders are always welcoming and serve quickly. The drinks are top-notch, with an excellent selection of Irish beers and whiskeys.
I visited with friends, and we had a great time. The music, the crowd, the decor – everything makes you feel like you're in the heart of Ireland. If you're looking for a place to unwind or meet up with friends, this is the perfect spot. I'll definitely be back!
12/10/2024: To be honest it is just exactly what you expect from a good pub. Good beer, nice staff and nice live music events. My personal highlight was the beer garden. All in all a nice experience.

Cork Coffee Roasters
Cork
22/09/2024: The coffee was good and the inside atmosphere fine. The outside deck upstairs looked like a good place hangout. Except when I went up there other customers were sitting with their feet on the chairs. Hopefully on a return visit this won't be the case.
21/09/2024: Very good music!!! 🎶
Nice place, pet friendly, to relax.
Good-natured employees although the girls in the afternoon were somewhat noisy.
The music and the terrace, the best.

Butlers Chocolate Café, Oliver Plunkett Street
Cork
12/11/2024: I’m addicted to their Chai Latte and Himalayan salt caramels! 🥰
10/11/2024: I have had Butler's mocha in Dublin, Belfast, Galway and here in Cork city. They have been deliciously creamy and so chocolatey I have been loving them. Until here in Cork city. Not sure what in the hell they did differently here but there was no chocolate flavor. It tasted like an Americano even though when presented with the drink the barista said here is your mocha. The past cities mochas had a layer of chocolate on the bottom of the cup that, when swirled, made the last sip extra delicious. Cork's didn't have any signs of their delicious, signature, namesake. What a let down!
