Geary's Bar
Rathluirc (or charleville)
02/10/2025: Absolute gem in Charleville. We were passing through as tourists from the U.K. The staff were so warm and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. Authentically Irish and full of character. It was pouring with rain outside and it was so cosy and warm in there pub/restaurant. The food was delicious, piping hot and my partner also enjoyed his Guinness. Thanks so much! Would recommend.
27/09/2025: It’s rare these days to come across the kind of genuine, customer centred service you find here. The food is excellent, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the pints are mighty. A huge thank you to all the crew for such a wonderful time.

Rare
Kinsale
25/10/2025: I like a good meal. By good I mean a masterclass in balance, complexity, good ingredients magnificently combined and prepared . . . Rare provided probably the best and most interesting meal I've ever had in Ireland. Wonderful subtle Indian hints brought to Cork produce. Absolutely wonderful!
28/09/2025: Definitely the best dining experience I've ever had.
I went to Rare to celebrate my birthday and was impressed with the treatment I received. They really made me feel special!!
I had a chef coming over to my table to explain every single one of the plates. It was great to learn the story behind the amazing flavour each one of the plates had.
The price falls into the high-end category, but if you enjoy a unique dining experience, I believe you won't regret visiting Rare.

Want me to make a couple of variations so you can pick the one that feels the most natural?
12/09/2025: My absolute favorite of this vacation
So unassuming from the outside, yet magnificent inside.
Wonderful staff, great space, and perfect food at great prices.
Soup of the day and roast of the day. That was mine :-))))))))

Lynch's on the Pier
Castletownbere
09/10/2025: Busy place with great breakfasts, for the hungry! Pleasant staff and quick service. Nice lunch menu too.
25/09/2025: So, it's the only option for lunch in a town with a harbor. It wasn't exactly picturesque, you sit outside with a view of the parking lot and in the background an industrial, probably fishing harbor. So what? The service is pleasant, they keep asking, until we finally managed to order fish soup, crab sandwiches and fried fish fingers. Yes, everything is delicious, at a good price (except for cider for 7.50 EUR), but the selection puts this establishment at the level of a very good bistro. However, the lunch is good and the journey further west of the peninsula can continue.

Connie Doolans
Cobh
20/10/2025: We were immediately warmly received by Steve, the barkeep with superb Irish coffees and friendly conversation after our overnight flight from the States. He, along with the other local gents at the bar, gave us a solid recommendations for local food and fare in Cobh and other towns along our way. Slightly apart from the crowds and bulk of the other waterfront pubs, Connie Doolan's offers a heartfelt welcome, smooth drinks, and authentic local atmosphere. I'll always cherish my first and best drink in Ireland at Connie Doolan's! And cheers to the Sunday-drinkin' gents at the bar and our laughs together!
21/09/2025: Fantastic, proper original Irish bar (some may say even from the 1940s 😁). Really friendly crowd, great choice of drinks. Don't be put off by the outside, you'll be welcomed in here with proper traditional Irish hospitality. Only a small place but great atmosphere.

Courtyard Bar
Clonakilty
28/09/2025: Absolutely fantastic experience at Jilly & Joe’s Ice Cream Parlour! The service was top-notch. The ice cream was delicious and such a great price! A special shoutout to Raj who was absolutely amazing. He was extremely kind and helpful. Made our visit extra special. Highly recommend!
27/09/2025: Very good variety of foods, good value and tasty food except for their toasted sandwiches. The carvery dinners are huge, the fish and chips, burger, chicken goujons and chips and pizza are all tasty and good value. The BLT was the worst sandwich I've ever paid money for: 2 thin slices of tomato, 2 small lettuce leaves and 2 really thin slices of bacon for the whole sandwich, the small portion of soup for an additional €2.50 had more substance.
