02/04/2026: Great coffee and service. Will definitely return for a coffee ✨

22/06/2026: Well, words alone are not going to fully describe just how AMAZING was our stay & dine here. On arrival, our Check-in with Yvonne, at Reception, was excellent. We stayed in 'The Loft' room. O.M.G. superb Views and a FANTASTIC room. We ate in the Restaurant in the evening - UNBELIEVABLE - we've never had 'Buffet Starter' before DELICIOUS! The Food, all of the Staff & the Atmosphere was EXCELLENT 👏👏👏👏. Finally, having ordered our Breakfast choices the evening before, our Breakfast was delivered & served in our Room. BRILLIANT. In 50 years of travelling around the World, this has to be one of our best experiences. THANK YOU ❤️

04/06/2026: Had a lovely meal here. Great service and good food.

29/08/2026: What a lucky choice 😊 We were after a good beef stew, and found the perfect place. If you are more the fish kind, the breaded haddock is for you.

03/08/2026: Cozy pub with great Guinness, super friendly staff, and tasty local food.

22/07/2026: I can't fault this place, very nice staff, lovely food, nice atmosphere not too pricey for a small family, food presented very appealing they must have a great chef or two and location is great. Plan to return.

14/07/2026: First time in here and loved it, food was fantastic and plenty of it, better priced than most other places these days. Staff were very nice and friendly. Nice atmosphere here too. Pint of Guinness was lovely. I would definitely return again here. I don't ever give 5 stars because nothing or nowhere is ever perfect so 4 stars is top from me.

28/09/2025: Very friendly staff, clean, comfortable slightly old style rooms. Perfect for what we needed and beautiful views. Irene was very friendly and full of local knowledge. She is also an exceptional chef and the breakfast was stunning. The breakfast was served at a leisurely pace and everything was delicious. A relaxing start to the day. We hope to come back again.

09/09/2025: Very hospitable and friendly people. Quaint location. Had a room overlooking an inlet so could watch the tides. The place is a little dated, but the people make up for it. Food was terrific as well.

03/08/2026: Couldn't fault anything. Food was fantastic. Steak was just unreal. Great service.

20/09/2026: What a lovely pub! I popped in on my own for a drink, and it quickly turned into three hours of great conversation with people at the bar. Wonderful atmosphere!

13/06/2026: We loved this bar! The owners were warm and very welcoming! We ended up going here three or four times during our visit to Cobh. We tried going to a couple of the other bars in town, and did not experience the same warmth. Paul, the owner, was awesome! You couldn’t ask for a friendlier place!

04/09/2026: Great Pastries and Coffee off the ferry. Great selection of food to take home. Busy.

11/08/2026: A great spot for great food and coffee! Thanks to Pa and all the staff.

09/04/2026: It's really great food and nice, polite service.

05/09/2026: The waitress was pretty dull...if you're having a pint or anything...I would have chosen another pub

31/08/2026: We had my Dad's 70th here at the weekend and it was absolutely amazing. Mary and the team couldn't have done more for us, the space is perfect for a party and it has such a great vibe. Thank you guys for making it so special for my Dad, 100% recommend 🩷

02/11/2025: I really enjoyed my meal here, the food was fantastic and the staff were incredible. The atmosphere was wonderful and the hand-painted art on the walls of the restaurant as well as on the stairs when going up were beautiful, the place seems like a real labour of love and it’s obvious every member of staff take huge pride in this restaurant. There are a large variety of options on the menu and the portions were huge! We were seated by the window and had a great view of the town, and the staff were very welcoming and friendly and made every effort to ensure we were all happy and didn’t need anything. One man in particular made an effort to chat with my family and even brought a complimentary dessert to celebrate my father’s birthday which was really kind, I wish we got his name because he was a very generous host. The lamb kofta was absolutely gorgeous and I will definitely be back to try more options on the menu as they all looked delicious and it was a struggle to pick just one. The menu also included vegetarian and vegan options so it’s suitable for pretty much anyone, as well as a play area for young kids which is very thoughtful. Thanks so much to all the staff for making a wonderful evening for my family, I have absolutely no complaints and will definitely be a returning customer!

24/10/2025: Had a really fabulous night at Salinas, Orla was amazing and was so helpful and accommodating! Couldn’t recommend enough !!
