The best restaurantsof irish in Cork city council

16/11/2025: Consistently excellent food and service. There is a separate vegan/vegetarian menu with a range of good options.

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

06/04/2026: Good food, extremely slow and disorganised pick up service if you order online better off just ordering in person

07/03/2026: Delivery driver just passed my place in togher to go to the airport and then back to me weird

18/02/2026: Quite a nice little spot, have been here for a couple of private events recently. Good service and reasonably priced

09/02/2026: Super kind and attentive staff. Booked 15 people for a surprise party for a friend. Outstanding service, staff made sure we have the best spot and arranged the seats for us so everyone can be close together and not in separate tables or apart. They also helped us putting candles on the cake, slicing and serving. Totally didn't expect such kindness, so thank you so much for hosting us! Also had the best ginger beer and good music, not too loud, awesome vibes. Highly recommend.

16/03/2026: The place is great, good atmosphere, the only downside is that it gets very crowded and it's a bit difficult to order. I don't recommend the tacos. All in all, it's a good place with a wide variety of events throughout the week; it's a good option.

15/03/2026: The atmosphere is fantastic and the space is so vast, you'll be lost in the sheer number of rooms. It's a perfect place to watch a game together.

05/04/2026: Won't ever go here after they stopped a man with 1 leg in a wheelchair for wearing a tracksuit. Very bad form

04/04/2026: Food was basic but good. Bar staff were very friendly, but very dissapointed with the 1m refurb. A manager there was so rude to customers and very arrogent. Poor layout and far too dark. Looks like they have tried to make a local pub into a city pub. 99.9 % of the reviews are for previous pub before the refurb.

24/01/2026: The food is lovely but being regular customer just because of taste and still getting worst service ever, each time you visit them the more worst it goes.... they are not happy at all but yes food is nice come here only have patience to see their faces but never recommended😒🙄

01/01/2026: Very bad customer service never respect customer. The food we asked not spicy they made very spicy and not cooked. Never again

20/03/2026: Very well located bar. Great pints. Loads of seating

07/03/2026: €10.50 for a vodka and white is insane also bouncer is gnarky and bald.

16/12/2025: Very disappointing outcome to this place. I had high hopes given the name & reviews..... But what it appears is that the place has been taken over, kept the name but taken all the smoked food off the menu. Rather than sample what is on the menu (what appears to be a basic attempt at smoked/ pit food..... Without the smoked/ pit food) I took my business elsewhere to avoid further disappointment.

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.

02/08/2025: The fry, one of the very few traditional chip shops left in Cork, well priced, beautiful food, phone in orders available, and they accept credit cards

23/07/2025: I had haddock and it was not pinboned and when I was eating scales were coming directly in my mouth. It was not descaled as well and the quantity was not enough. Very bad experience with haddock. 1/4 and 1/2 pounders are nice.

15/03/2026: On maps said it is open. However it was closed. Sunday 14:00

27/12/2025: My daughter & I visited the Quays bar today & had food that was reasonably good. Unfortunately the place was absolutely filthy, our shoes were sticking to the floor. Toilets were disgusting & absolutely filthy with no toilet roll & when we asked we were told there was none. I dread to think what the kitchen was like.

06/02/2026: Food was ok. Service isn’t good. Takes a little too long to get food.

02/02/2026: Got nearly 50 euro worth off food today, the chips and the chicken were so dry and greasy at the same time fare play, curry opened and spilt all over the bag ,taco fries tasted like it was cooking for the last week , last time I'll be eating at any Dino's

05/12/2025: Burnt fried egg . And dirty cutlery. FFS it cost enough too

21/11/2025: This food is gorgeous and the staff and the owner are really nice really nice place to get food, will be going back again next time we are in Cork, thanks for making us so welcome, and for looking after my sister who just came out of hospital! Thank you.

05/04/2026: Found this place half full but lively and quickly grabbed a table grabbed a beer for myself and a drink menu for my wife and they told me they were not allowed to make drinks even though there were 4 guys doing nothing behind the bar. Boss came by so asked him and said they were too busy. 1st time I heard that. Lovely place inside and looks fun. Didn't eat food but it looks good. Just DO NOT COME if you want anything but beer

01/02/2026: The place itself is charming, very well maintained, and the staff were genuinely friendly. We ordered two glasses of wine, one from Chile and one from New Zealand. To my surprise (I’m usually not a fan of Chilean wine), both were really good, and the pours were generous. The waiter was lovely and even brought the bottle over so I could see the name of the wine. Zero complaints there. Also worth mentioning: in January, pints are €4.50, which is a great deal, even though we didn’t try them. I’m giving 3 stars because we came in mainly due to the advertised snack + pint until 9pm. We ordered the loaded fries with truffle and parmesan. As you can see in the photo, despite being a large plate, they’re barely “loaded” at all. They were essentially fries with some parmesan sprinkled on top. Tasty, yes, but calling them “loaded fries” feels misleading. When we asked for a bit more sauce (the one you see in the photo), we were told no because the kitchen was closed. I ended up speaking with the manager to explain that this didn’t feel fair, and it took him literally two minutes to get it — though not without first insisting again that the kitchen was closed and the chefs were already gone. Honestly, charging €9 for fries with a bit of cheese and a small pot of spiced mayo, and then debating over giving a bit more sauce, really detracted from the experience. We weren’t asking for anything to be cooked — just a simple gesture that would have made the experience much more pleasant. Overall, thank you for the service. I can’t say I wouldn’t recommend it — there are definitely good things about the place — but with so many options in Cork, it’s probably not somewhere we’d return to.

20/02/2026: Delivered to my home beautiful thanks

09/02/2026: Anytime I’ve tried to order from here, delivery would take over an hour despite living nearby. Ordered tonight and after an hour I called the restaurant they reassured me the order was on the way and after another 20 minutes no sign of food, rang restaurant three more times and they wouldn’t pick up.
