10/08/2025: Fantastic bar really food excellent Staff so helpful will return again

04/08/2025: Food great, rough crowd, owner doesn’t leave a great impression

11/08/2025: The best bar in town in my eyes. Always great staff, friendly fun and easygoing. Lots of choice for drinks and lovely pizza made to order. Beer garden is lovely with a cover when needed. I dont think for me Tom Barrys ever dissapoints except for the fact it no longer has Tom. It really is a south side gem in my eyes.

03/08/2025: Tom Barry's is a brilliant traditional type pub on the South side of Cork with the perfect mix of both indoor and outdoor spaces. The staff are super friendly and they encourage a great atmosphere with trad music and chats, its always a great night here! They serve a beautiful pint of the Guinness as well as other popular local and not so local beers to carter to everyone! 27-July-2025 Update: My wife and I called in as we were nearby and said its been a minute since we were here. The bar hasn't changed much if at all and the staff as as friendly as ever! I got one of the local Cork beers Original 7 Larger and my wife got a Murphy's stout and we took in the fine weather out the back in the beer garden. Food: The pizzas here are delicious! I highly recommend stopping by for a pizza and mach use of the pizza and a pint deal! We got a spicey salami pizza and a garlic and tomato sauce pizza while we were here. Both were amazing and we were surprised by the garlic pizza as we didn't realise it didn't have cheese but it was perfectly delicious! Old Review: There is loads of space to choose from be it the small bar at the front, the back room by the fire, the side bar by the beer garden and last but not least, the fantastic beer garden out the back! Any area you choose will be great! It can be very busy at weekends but come here early or mid week if you are looking for something a little quieter! Over the years I've spent many a Friday or Saturday evening catching up with friends and its always been a great location! The beer garden is my favourite spot in this bar and they have their own pizza kitchen in the back garden as well. Definitely check out Tom Barry's, you won't be disappointed!

04/07/2025: Cool place. Lovely seating outside, especially when the sun is shining. Those PIES are very tasty 😋

26/06/2025: Came here on Fathers Day, was very busy as you would expect but didn’t have to wait long for my food. Really good atmosphere and had entertainment for the children which my girls loved. Will be back again!

30/05/2025: A group of three of us on a day out from Kerry. Asked people on the street where they would recommend.

01/07/2025: The stuff is awesome, the burgers and fries are perfect.

13/06/2025: Delicious and fresh food...Friendly staff.WELL DONE!!!

23/08/2025: Beautiful food, best chicken wings I've ever had followed by the lamb. The only thing that let it down was the service was very poor and slow and it left me with a cold main course as it sat in the kitchen for a bit of time before coming out. However I would not let this stop me from going back as I can only imagine this is a once off.

11/08/2025: Came here with friends to celebrate my 18th and we had such a great time! 🌟 I had the Cashew Tofu Stir Fry, which was full of flavour with perfectly cooked veggies, and the Toblerone cheesecake, delicious! The staff were amazing and made the evening extra special by bringing out the cheesecake with a candle and singing happy birthday. It was so kind of them to take the cheesecake off the bill. Thanks for helping make my birthday dinner so memorable! 💛

02/07/2025: Friendly staff, lots of fish on menu. Nice food overall.

12/06/2025: We had a wonderful meal last night. Very professional and warm service. The menu had a great selection to choose from, and all four of us enjoyed our food. Highly recommend this restaurant.
