| EBG Rating: | 8.2/10 |
| Choice/ Quality of Drinks | ❤️❤️❤️ A very familiar feel to the Irish stouts, macro lagers and back bar offerings. |
| Style/ Décor | ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Multi-room roadside pub with plenty of space, but appointed in such a way to emphasise cosiness, with cushioned booth seating, warm lighting and traditional decorations. |
| Atmosphere/ Character | ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Somewhat of a waypoint between city and countryside, and the atmosphere feels like that, in touch with the gossip from both. The cosy, warm interior is seductive enough that it’s a true wrench to leave. |
| Amenities/ Events | ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Food, snacks, outdoor seating, fireplace, TV |
| Value For Money | ❤️❤️❤️ Reasonable value for money in line with the location and offerings. |
| Description | Family-run for 50 years, the news in 2024 that the property was going up for sale caused whatever the Cork equivalent of shockwaves to ripple through local media. A fringe of town roadside pub of a kind you infrequently see these days. The focus remains very much on its social and community bonds, a place to unwind, not simply a dining destination. A comfortable, cosy warm interior across a series of rooms provides an environment that is a wrench to leave. Everything is well appointed, and well-kept but in a traditional, homely style. Although it may look a way out from a glance at a map, bus connections to the North of town up to Dublin Pike are reliable and frequent enough, taking only 10 minutes or so to reach a nearby stop. Even bearing in mind the dozen plus great pubs in central Cork, there’s no excuse not to give it a try. (Added February 2025) |
