Old Oak
Cork
23/07/2025: Dropped in for a few cocktails. Love music, great atmosphere, and cocktails only 10 Euro a go (2025) which is good for Cork.
20/07/2025: I might be a bit old fashioned but when I go out for something to eat, I usually tell the server what I want. If I’m eating a sandwich or a burger and I want something left out, I usually ask the server to leave it out. This kind of request would be common enough. Businesses usually give their paying customers what they want, servers usually do their jobs with the paying customer in mind etc.
The kitchen here — supposedly — doesn’t entertain people who want to leave something out of their burger or sandwich or make changes to what’s stated on their menu. It’s a simple request that I’m sure many people regularly ask for.
A lot of the staff in here could do with a refresher course on how the world works. There is some seriously pig-ignorant behaviour going on in this place towards the public.
While we ate, we saw a Spanish woman standing at the smaller bar for over 5 minutes while 6-7 of them walked in and out numerous times, blatantly avoiding eye contact and ignoring her, before she eventually asked someone for a drink. Only then was she told go to to the main bar for service. There are no signs or anything to warn people of the fact that it’s not a service area, and the rudeness of it all was simply disgusting to watch.
For a bar that does so much sloganeering to appeal to a certain cohort of infantilised adults, it’s not surprising to see that so many of their own staff behave like spoilt brats.

Cork
15/07/2025: The planes weren't necessarily on time, but that's okay, the crew was very welcoming and homophobes were frowned upon.
18/06/2025: We enjoyed our experience here. The pizza was good, and the nachos were great. Bartenders David and Amy went out of their way to make us feel welcome. We would happily go back.

The Quays Bar Tapas & Grill
Cork
29/12/2024: Could be a great place cause the food is good but the stench coming from the bathrooms needs to be sorted. Staff must be so used to it they don't get it anymore. A good clean is needed. We were hungry with kids so stayed. Food was lovely.

The Wilton
Cork
04/07/2025: Nice, Irish (English)-style pub and with superheroes! It’s a bit quirky (to us Americans ;-) but quaint. The food is solid, focused on meat & potatoes but they do chips well! In love with the Brown sauce! Guinness was great as was the cider - bravo!
04/07/2025: Pleasant pub - the food is pretty good, it can take a while to come sometimes, but overall I would definitely recommend it!

Counihans Bar
Cork
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
05/07/2025: Personal grosero. Sin precio, sin por favor, sin gracias durante el servicio. 7€. 30 por una pinta de cerveza. Estafa. . Sucio y deteriorado. Solía ser genial hace una década. Qué vergüenza.

District 11
Cork
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.

Dinos
Cork
08/06/2025: Great performance by Gabriel Byrne in this action packed thriller
04/05/2025: Food used to be better. Had not been for about a year or so and noticed food was not at previous quality. No recycling in store either. Piry as we try to support local as much as we can. The place was clean and the staff were pleasant.
