The best restaurantsof irish in Cork city council

05/04/2024: Best chicken goujons in town and a great place to watch a game of football.

17/03/2024: Service incredibly poor. Not going back.

18/12/2023: Fabulous dining experience. Wonderful food, great menu selection and excellent service.

08/12/2023: So there I was, in a 5 star hotel restaurant, waiting for my wife to enjoy and finish her company party. I had driven her 2.5 hours down in the afternoon and had a late night assignment to bring her home later that same night. It was gonna be a long night, so I went to the restaurant as I wanted some food. I walked up, got greeted by the incredibly friendly staff, and given a table. All around me were well to do people in beautiful suits and dresses, and here I was in jeans and a Reindeer Christmas jumper. I felt out of place. My server, Jelmer , let me know that the typical thing to do was to get one of each course and it included drinks and desserts etc etc. and it was going to cost far more than I was looking to spend. Here I was just looking for a plate of chips and veg. I felt like I was taking up a spot for someone willing to pay the expected amount. I nearly left there and then, apologising that I misunderstood what the restaurant was and worrying I was making a fool of myself. However, any fears I had were quickly relieved when I explained myself to Jelmer. He alleviated my worries and worked with me through the menu and how to best take care of me. He assured me that I was just as much a priority as anyone else. I have a plant based diet and he didn't skip a beat. Without a worry or hesitation, he helped me through the menu and what I wanted. A few minutes later, after some nice, soft bread with delicious dips, I was enjoying the FINEST vegetables and chips I had ever had. And very nice portions, too! The service from not just Jelmer, but all the staff like Davar, made me feel more at ease, relaxed. I was smiling the whole time I dined there. What better experience can you ask for? I don't know what they do to get such great staff, but they are a credit to the Manor. I had never heard of this place before, but now it's where I will recommend anyone looking to spend a night in Cork if they want a classy, friendly and relaxed experience. I didn't even spend €17, and I am stuffed. Thanks Jelmar, and all of his wonderful co-workers. Including the lovely lady who helped me find a table with no prior notice given. You made me feel very welcomed and comfortable. It means so much to me.

03/02/2024: Convenient spot, nice and small; takes a bit for food and is expensive..

01/02/2024: Great food, great prices, lovely staff, highly recommended A*****

01/04/2024: Best kebab I've eaten in very long time. All is freshly done on the spot. Nice customer service with great people. Highly recommend!!! The best pita bread in town

15/03/2024: Update your google maps opening hours.

21/03/2024: Great and choosy ambience Great staff Good options

03/03/2024: The food was amazing, the staff is very friendly. Special mention to the bar manager Laszlo who made sure we were well looked after. Highly recommend.

30/03/2024: Fab experience...here as a hen and bar man was so nice to us!Food looked delicious

27/03/2024: Oald Oak is a nice bar with a cozy atmosphere! It doesn't matter how old you are, all ages mix here. My experience is that you can have a nice chat with a random person here while enjoying a beer or something else to drink.

28/03/2024: Lovely bar with great food and fab service

27/02/2024: Superb Food and nice Service !!!

07/12/2023: Best full Irish I've had in ages, everything about it was perfect, I didn't eat for the rest of the day, worth the €14 spent, service was polite and direct, atmosphere ....it was early maybe people were just waking up.

03/10/2023: I got the poached eggs without avocado on soda bread and it was delicious and well priced. I also got black pudding and it was lovely. Will definitely be back.

25/03/2024: Excellent place for dinner or lunch.

23/03/2024: Fantastic interior, good food and drinks. Service staff are great.

25/03/2024: The worst place l’ve ever been. The server was extremely rude. I’m really surprised how these people work.

18/03/2024: good food, awful service. half the menu was unavailable

15/10/2023: We arrived at 12:30 for lunch, waited for half an hour until 1:00pm and gave up. The pub was locked up, no sign of any staff, rubbish all around and the place looked very scruffy. It’s a shame as it used to be a great place for lunch. Luckily a quick Google search found the Five Mile Inn nearby which was excellent.

12/08/2023: I honestly couldn't give Bull McCabrs any less than all 5 stars, anyone visiting Cork needs to visit this establishment. We arrived for dinner with our 2 young children, which as any patent knows is tough going at the best of times but our waitress was so good with both children and did so much to make their dining experience a comfortable and happy one. I was disgusted I didn't get her name but she was a gem. We all ordered different dishes and all the food was not only delicious but very generous in portion size which is not the norm anymore. It's spotless clean and has a wonderful interior, we spent so much time looking around at all the little artefacts. One of the best places we have had a family meal in and we will most definitely return.

01/04/2024: The bottomless brunch was amazing!!! The staff are super nice, and the food was great. Definitely give it a try

29/03/2024: The waitresses were very friendly and gave us good advice. Our cider was also incredibly good and filled to the brim. However, the food was a disaster. The fries were cold. We communicated this directly and received it. The ribs varied in temperature and so did the chicken tenders. Everything seemed reheated and not fresh. The ambience was appropriate and fine for a pub. For drinks I can recommend Brick Lane. If you want to eat here you should avoid Brick Lane.

10/12/2023: Great variety available on the Sunday lunch menu. Starters, mains and desserts all available. I opted for the beef burger and the vanilla cheesecake, both of which were delicious. Staff were attentive and friendly. I would recommend reserving a table in advance, especially at the weekend, as we were lucky to get a table.

02/11/2023: Nice place to eat, food good, atmosphere good, enjoyed my visit.

20/02/2024: Possibly the best pint of Stout in Cork city but at a heavy price. Almost €6.50 dictates only one pint before moving on ... But what a pint!

05/02/2024: Visited 4th February Could be a good pub but seems to have gone downhill big time. Out of Guinness, Murphy’s and beamish by 10pm on a bank holiday Sunday is mad considering the place was half empty. Staff couldn’t give a price for rounds before paying then when we queried a difference turns out there were seemingly different prices for paying with card and cash which I actually wouldn’t have a problem with if this was communicated/advertised. I’m passionate about supporting Irish pubs but this place needs someone to breathe new life into it. Big upstairs place closed off could be put to better use, a bit of music on a bank holiday night maybe?

09/03/2024: Lovely food, great 80's nerd theme, pleasant staff.

07/01/2024: Food was good and hot when delivered but they forgot our dips after paying for them 😭 the worst feeling.
