The best restaurantsof irish in Cork

16/11/2025: If you want to watch a match without crying don’t go here. Bar man sound though

29/10/2025: Great spot for meeting up with bigger groups. Ample area for dancing and a good selection of food options as well as local beers on tap.

30/11/2025: Really disappointed with my recent stay at the hotel. My partner and I stayed there along with some of his family over the weekend (we had three rooms in total), and for the money we paid, the service was appalling. We rang ahead to book dinner and were asked whether we would prefer to eat in the bar or the restaurant. It was explained that these were in the same area, but that the bar offered a more relaxed dining setting. We chose the bar under these pretences, but when we arrived for dinner we were told that the bar did not have a proper seating area and that we would have to sit at a low table with a mix of stools and armchairs in the corner. We were extremely disappointed, but it didn’t end there. We were then told there were different menus for the restaurant and the bar (something we were never informed of when booking), and the bar menu was extremely limited. It took about 30–40 minutes for our order to be taken, and then the same amount of time again for the food to arrive. Other small issues occurred throughout dinner, such as water being brought to the table with no glasses, and parts of our food order coming out wrong. As it had taken so long to arrive, we didn’t bother sending it back. Because the bar area was not part of the restaurant as we had originally been told, no one ever came down to take drink orders or check on us, which meant we constantly had to go up to the bar ourselves. When we asked for the bill, we were left waiting again, and after asking twice, we eventually just went up to the bar to pay. We voiced our concerns during dinner and all we were offered was an apology. We then headed down to the Glasshouse cocktail bar, which was equally disappointing. Our drink orders were taken straight away, but once again it took over 30 minutes for the drinks to arrive, so we left after just one drink. We shared our concerns again at checkout and even spoke to a manager, who said all they could offer was an apology. We left extremely dissatisfied, as the hotel itself is beautiful, but sadly the service does not match the price point.
