The best restaurantsof irish in Cork city council

19/09/2025: Put in my order of soup and brown bread, a toasted sandwich and a side order of chips. My glass of water and cutlery arrived on a side plate which were dropped at the far side of my table, unusual I thought. A few minutes late the waitress arrived back and stretched across in front of me to place a soup spoon on my sideplate. She was holding the spoon by the bowl. More unusual I thought. My food arrived all together. This is getting ridiculous! Who serves two courses at the same time? The soup and brown bread were delicious. However, by the time I got around to eating my main course the chips were cold. The sandwich was horribly greasy. The side salad was chopped into tiny silly little pieces making it impossible for me to disgard the cucumber which I can’t abide. If I ever go back there I will only have the soup. Hopefully, in the meantime, they will train their staff.

23/08/2025: Went for breakfast. Food and service were so good that I returned for lunch the next day.

03/11/2025: Food was was delicious and the portions were huge. Great value. The staff were very friendly and the service couldn’t be faulted. Yes the place could do with a lick of paint but overall definitely will be back

28/10/2025: Great place, held a 65th bday, loads of space, great employees and lovely management

22/09/2025: Very spacious. Love the vibe! Not so loud too

16/09/2025: My favourite bar in cork. Good music. Gorgeous pub. Great staff.

24/09/2025: Disgusting and Disgraceful………how these people can get away with advertising themselves as a fish and chip shop……the fish was so tough I thought of bringing it home to make a school shoes for me kid…..the chips were dry and tasteless…….oh never again…..I wouldn’t walk past this excuse for a chipper……let alone eat from it………….stay away…..you’ve been warned

21/08/2025: Food is very good, staff very friendly and prices are good, well worth a visit

06/09/2025: Fantastic hotel and restaurant. The food was top notch. Highly recommend this place. And you never know who you might meet

09/07/2025: Started off great, our food was really good, our waitress was great to start with but must have been busy or distracted. We asked for wine and had to remind her, same for coffees at the end. A minor complaint, the ambience and pleasantness of the place and staff was excellent.

20/07/2025: Fantastic place to meet friends, good food, especially the scones, although lately being served with "mock" cream

11/06/2025: Great food options in a large dining room/bar with outdoor seating.

27/07/2025: Basic fare , mostly seafood menu, average pricing, friendly staff and bookings probably needed at peak as the restaurant not too big. People with reduced mobility won't have any problems.

25/07/2025: Ambiente in bella posizione, accogliente, personale attento e premuroso, piatti ben preparati e abbondanti, prezzi in linea col livello del ristorante in Irlanda

28/10/2025: Outdated pub , could do with an upgrade Friendly staff and good pints

25/10/2025: Had dinner today the 25/10/25, four of us, had steak sandwiches. The steak was round steak, very tough and tasteless. Would not recommend this place at all. Have eaten in it over the years and it used to be excellent. But gone down hill big time. And over where the till is there is toilets with a very strong smell of urine coming out into the bar

26/08/2025: Great pub to see matches and to grab pints with large groups of people more than 10 its very large space to accommodate that large groups. Vast selection of beers from stouts to lagers to ciders. There is big screen to watch your favourite sports.

18/07/2025: Popped in because we heard live music. Had a quick pint of Storehouse lager, not our favorite but needed to try it. Open space bar, more modern with the TV and projector so i guess it depends what you are looking for

21/09/2025: Very unwelcoming staff. Food was sad and miserable. My pork roast was completely dried out, the rest of the food wasn't much better.

27/08/2025: Ate lunch here before flying out of Cork airport. We both ordered burgers. I noticed how quickly they came out and how fast other tables got their food too. I worked in hotels myself for years and that is not necessarily a good sign. The burgers themselves were ok but they seemed somewhat ready made. We both had upset stomachs by the evening time. I do not recommend. The staff and service were excellent. I can’t give more than 1 star because of the food issue.

29/08/2025: Always excellent service, cold beer, and ambient music. The space is super spacious with both indoor and outdoor seating. Service is fast, and the food always arrives piping hot and quickly, with fresh and delicious flavors! The place also has table reservations, making it easy on busier days. Wednesdays feature wings for $0.30, and Thursdays offer goujons for $0.50 (which are huge and super crispy). Great for enjoying with friends, family, dates, or even solo. One of the best pubs in the area.

05/08/2025: Best bar outside the city center, amazing little nooks to be left alone as well as large open areas for large party's or functions. Amazing bar food. Id like to see some unusual Irish whiskey on the shelf to complement the already unusual mezcals and other cool bottles. Top marks.

07/04/2025: Called in for quiet casual drinks. Very unfriendly team. We both said hello. Non verbal back. Not even a smile. Thankfully no food served here. Toilets disgraceful, filty. Toilet roll dispensers and hand soaps dispensers all opened and hanging down. 3 toilets filthy. 1 toilet sanitary bucket on top of lid with a stand on floor as not to go in. Loose taps. Hand drys blowing cold hair. Very run down place.

29/11/2024: Como local siempre me ha gustado este lugar, pero tengo que decir que ha cambiado completamente en el último año. Si bien las pintas son un € 5 que es genial, la calidad de las instalaciones no es grande. La falta de mantenimiento parece ser el mayor problema, especialmente en los baños femeninos. Es una lástima ya que podría ser un establecimiento fantástico para todos.

08/08/2025: There was hair in my daughters ice cream.

23/07/2025: Very nice place 👍 excellent hamburgers. Nice atmosphere and warm welcome.

19/09/2025: The service was great ... everyone was very friendly .

26/08/2025: I brought back a full inedible fish here once to ballincollig, and the manager at the time, she told me I could not get a refund even though I had a receipt - I was told to take a new one or nothing! It was very imbarasing infront of the other costumers. I contacted Dinos HR in November 2023 when this happened, but I got only one reply, and I got no satisfaction. I go out of my way now to go to Bishopstown; they are far superior in every way. August 2025 now and still no Satisfaction.

21/08/2025: Absolutely amazing place, the staff are so friendly and accommodating, the owner came over to welcome us and ask if everything was to our liking, The food is so tasty too and very reasonable

06/07/2025: Been going there for 10 years. The boss knows us by going there. Never ever once gave us a free pint.
