    Went here last night for what was going to be my first drink out in Cork in two years - having just come home from abroad. Went inside, my friend went to a table so I walked over to the bar. A man leaning on the bar asked me in an exceptional rude and aggressive manner "What are you doing at the bar!?" - I naively said "Ordering some drinks, do you work here?" - he said rudely yes and that I shouldn't be at the bar - so I apologised and said, look I am sorry I had no idea how things worked here and what was the regulations / what should I do? What followed was a series of grumpy and rude demands with a very unwarranted aggressive delivery. I appreciate that I was not supposed to go to the bar - but after apologising and explaining I didn't know what to do the staff member seemed to get even more unpleasant. I went to get my friend and we left immediately. It was a very unfortunate start to my first time out in Cork in some years - life is too short to deal with such behaviour or support it. We moved onto one of the many Cork bars with friendly owners and warm greetings - had a good night in the end.

    Epic Rock n roll atmosphere Irish style! Kerrie, James, and Susan make you feel at home in Ziggys. The juke box has unlimited selection to feed your every need. They serve local craft beers as well that will leave your mouth wet and wanting more.

    First and last time to come here. Bar staff were unbelievably rude and stand offish. Asked if we could order at the bar as restrictions had lifted and ordering at bars is now allowed. Told it was table service which is no problem, and said that was not an issue and we'd wait at our table. Was then ignored by all staff passing by for near 40 minutes. Took going up to the staff again before we got to order our drinks, even at that nearly had to dive in front of them to get their attention. Serious attitude from the staff that then served the drinks. Maybe if they concentrated more on decent customer service than making their bar a creepy incel shrine to Rory Gallagher then maybe I'd give them two stars.

    Really enjoyed my experience at the dedicated rock music bar in cork city. However...When I was listening away to some classic hits by Metallica and Rage against the Machine, a group of rowdy young college students came in and took over the jukebox ! The result was not a pretty one... Ed Sheeran Bad habits came on first and the mood in the boozer instantly dropped ! Thankfully a low sized man who seemed pretty cross about the whole thing took back the jukebox for the good of the rock lovers in cork and set the mood right again.... Disaster averted . Beamish is also quality here 😎

    The perfect pub for everyone who is into classic rock! Nice atmosphere where you can feel the owners love and passion for music. Prices are okay for Cork City and toilets are clean. Unfortunately smoking just on the street outside the pub, so no designated area, but that doesn't kill the charm. Go check it out ;)

    Such a friendly establishment from the staff to the loyal customers, the atmosphere is lively and welcome in Ziggys bar. A great stop for anyone travelling through Cork, or just on their way home from work like myself! Definitely a place unique to Cork city, amazing music, friendly faces and some local history. Can't wait to return for some live music!

    Class bar for rock lovers, although with covid it's all outside now but they have a good setup. One of the best bars in Cork, a proper dive and that's how we like it!
