Le Chateau
Cork
08/06/2026: By far the best bar in Cork. Great selection of Irish whiskey, good food, and Danny the co-owner was a really nice guy.
Food 5stars
Danny got me hooked on Red Breast 12yr Irish Whiskey.
5stars
29/05/2026: I am pretty amazed to read that this Place only has 4.2 stars. I found it to be completely charming. My Irish Coffee was out of this world. The other clientele were extremely friendly. Highly recommended 🙏🏾

Brick Lane
Cork
08/04/2026: It's ashame this pub is closing tonight because it is one of the nicest pubs in Cork City the food i had was perfect Heineken zero beautiful. Ok the service wasn't the best tonight but i guess that was to be expected with staff loosing there jobs. The pub was busy they were short staff. I really hope someone buys this pub. It has serious potential. Anytime i walked past this place it was busy it just needs to new ownership and management train new staff the food is perfect.
05/03/2026: Lovely restaurant! Great brunch!! Good dinner! Great cocktails

Mabel Crawford's Bistro, menu
Cork
12/05/2026: Wonderful property with amazing staff and the hotel was really nice and clean #nocomplaints
04/05/2026: The venue was gorgeous and had an easy to navigate website. The rooms were clean and had everything we needed, eg kettle/tea, iron, hairdryer. The beds were too soft for 2 of my colleagues, so they didn’t sleep well at all, but I was fine. The staff were incredibly rude at check in and check out. Considering how much we paid for the room, I expected better customer service. We didn’t even get a smile at check in. The girl was rude, didn’t speak to me while processing my payment (not asking me to choose GBP or EU using her words, she just shoved the card reader in my face, even though I asked for clarification). Upon making the reservation, I notified the hotel that we would have a very late check in and even gave them an estimated time of arrival. The hotel called me the day before I left to confirm my reservation, so I clarified my late check in and assured them I’d be there before “late check in” started. As promised, I was well within my time frame, but received another phone call from the front desk during travel asking where I was and if I was going to be any longer. I was so confused, taken aback and really insulted. When we arrived, she didn’t apologies for her eagerness (which I can only assume was because she just wanted to go home, greet us warmly or even make me feel like we were welcome at all.

De Barra's Restaurant
Cork
24/06/2026: Not nearly as good as it used to be. Ordered a glass of fresh orange juice and was presented with very watery overly sugary cheap ''juice''. It tasted like orange cordial. Asked the very young waitress if it was actually orange juice and she replied in a very miserable manner ''that's apple juice.'' then she realised it was in fact the ''orange'' juice they sell and it had come straight from a carton. I'd never even seen the brand they're using before.
Food was very average, lacking in flavour and finesse. Portion sizes have been very pared back - and the prices have risen a lot. The same waitress kept ignoring us every time we tried to catch her eye - she saw us gesturing and just avoided eye contact. We saw another customer repeatedly ask for service only to be ignored. The barista was also ignoring customers.
With so many other great eateries in Bantry on offer, De Barras simply isn't in the same league anymore. It used to be our favourite place to eat before they closed & reopened. Such a shame.
01/06/2026: Excellent breakfast and pleasant service 👌

Bishopstown Bar
Cork
19/04/2026: The food quality was terrible. We ordered roast turkey and roast bacon with broccoli, but the broccoli was yellow and not fresh. The worst part was the cauliflower vegetarian steak; the cauliflower was burnt. The steak was okay.
05/04/2026: Staff horrible. Food is vile would not waste my time here again steer clear of this place

09/07/2025: Staff are always lovely, food and coffee are great and very reasonably priced in comparison to other establishments in the Blackrock area. Really good selection of sandwiches, almost too good though, hard to make up your mind 🤣

Deep South
Cork
07/04/2026: The atmosphere is typical of an Irish pub, welcoming and trendy.
I made a reservation, they were very thorough and even asked for the age of my guests.
On the scheduled day, the kitchen was closed and I had no food to serve my guests.
This is absurd, considering that when I made the reservation I said we only wanted to eat, drink and talk.
27/03/2026: They don’t put enough people on during busy times and it’s crazy to get a drink. Also smells

Holy Smoke
Cork
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.

Old Oak
Cork
19/05/2026: Stopped by for a drink and whiskey and the following happened. We sat in the back bar and ordered two beers and wanted two Irish Whiskeys (Red Breast and Goldspot)there was none at the back bar so we went to the front bar and asked the female bartender for Red Breast or Gold Spot and in a snarky response stated, “ we don’t serve American whiskey. I guess she was not aware both whiskeys are Irish. This by far has been the least favorite pub we have visited in Ireland and I would not recommend it.
18/05/2026: A totally welcoming atmosphere, a top-notch space to watch the team's game in the private area.
