Counihans
Bar
is
another
brilliant
pub
in
Cork
City
center!
They
have
a
good
selection
of
different
beers
and
stouts
to
choose
from
and
since
it
was
Summer
time
I
decided
to
have
a
couple
of
pint
bottles
of
Bulmers
cider.
As
far
as
stout
goes,
I
think
that
this
is
more
of
a
Murphy's
pub
than
a
Guinness
pub
as
most
people
were
ordering
Murphy's.
I
did
however
order
one
Guinness
to
try
it
and
it
was
only
ok.
Layout:
The
bar
is
fairly
big
and
is
split
into
a
few
areas.
You
have
a
bar
counter
and
snug
area
when
you
enter
from
Pembroke
Street.
The
snug
is
really
nice
as
there
is
a
large
table
that
can
fit
about
6
to
8
people.
If
you
enter
from
Phoenix
Street
the
bar
is
a
little
retangular
area
with
a
bar
counter
and
few
tables
and
chairs.
There
is
a
larger
area
out
the
back
with
a
dance
floor
area
and
more
seating
and
another
bar
counter
to
order
from.
Decor:
Counihans
is
an
old
timey
bar
is
decorated
in
such
fashion.
Timber
lines
the
walls
and
there
are
pictures
and
flags
decorating
the
bar.
There
is
a
fire
place
in
the
area
off
of
Pembroke
Street
which
may
or
may
not
be
functional
as
it
was
in
July
when
I
visited
the
bar
and
it
was
not
lit.
The
Staff:
The
staff
are
friendly
and
welcoming.
The
counter
service
was
a
little
slow
but
I
feel
that
they
were
training
a
new
bartender
at
time
that
were
there.
I
would
ask
for
your
reciept
as
one
member
of
our
group
was
charged
twice
for
some
of
the
items
on
her
drink
order,
it
was
a
mistake
on
the
bartenders
part
however,
it
can't
hurt
to
double
check.
Overall
Opinion:
Counihans
Bar
is
an
old
school
bar
right
beside
the
GPO
in
the
city
center!
I
highly
recommend
stopping
by
for
a
pint
of
beer
or
cider,
might
want
to
give
the
Guinness
a
skip
or
else
order
a
pint
of
another
stout
like
Murphy's
instead.
Definitely
a
great
bar
for
if
you
want
to
have
a
good
auld
chat
with
friends!
Solid
7
out
of
10
pub
for
me!
