    Great Venue in Cork City Centre Rearden's Bar has frequent live music sessions. Bar staff are on top of their game serving a wide selection of drinks alcoholic and non alcoholic. Guinness live and rising was on and was done very well. Lots of selection of foods and caters for all occasions. Erica Cody and friends were playing with great artists and mixers. The sounds and beats in the bar were fantastic. The atmosphere travels from the stage to the entire pub. The music was at a great level for the ear, where you could here the music and also have a conversation.. Also has live karaoke sessions as well as live events. A must visit in Cork highly recommended. More venues and sessions like this is needed in Cork City. Great music, great night. Great pints.

    The Reardan’s in Cork was greattt! I absolutely loved it there , from the atmosphere to the staff to the people there 10/10! I was there for a Guinness live and rising event and it was superb! The staff were super accommodating and the bar itself is so cute 🥰 I’d never been out in Cork before but after being to Rearden’s, highly recommend 👍🏾

    Poor social distancing and enforcement of the lockdown rules. Table service but obviously working as a pub otherwise with all night drinking, etc. Gardaí visited about midnight and did nothing.

    Love it here always... Food limited menu but nice.. Not much social distancing going on there tonight thought.People were sitting on top of each other.Covid would thrive here as never witnessed stools or seating being cleaned after customers! Need some one policing this in such a big and popular place or there will be major outbreaks.

    Good price for traditional Irish breakfast 10,95€ (18€ in Dublin for example), and expensive tea (like everywhere) for 4,50 but you have 3 cups of tea in fact, totally worth it. Friendly staff (double salary for Christophe! 😎), in morning nice seats with opened window. Soup of the the day is just amazing if you are not very hungry.

    Look at this for pizza, unreal, all I could do was laugh. We were eating it and wondering what the funny taste was. Half of it was unreadable and it wasn’t cheap, shame.

  • 2/5 Eileen 1 year ago on Google
    Pizza was burnt. No wonder they ask for payment beforehand. Pity cos it’s a nice bar 😓

    Wow IF YOU WANTTHE BEST PUB MUSIC DANCE BEST FROM TOWN DONT MISS THIS GREAT PLACE PERSONAL GREAT FOR ME ITS THE BEST PUB FROM TOWN SEE YOU SOON

  • 2/5 Sean B. 2 years ago on Google
    Its a nice place, spacious and clean, foods ok, does the job, they charge an entry fee which you need to book online to enter the place, this was at the weekend when I was there, is it not enough for 8 of us to have a 3 course meal lots of drinks, go back to our hotel to freshen up, and about 2 hours later go back to be asked for €11 EACH just to grace the place with our presence.....AND just to make it really Irish pints go up to €6.10 for no reason after 10pm....taking the p*ss if you ask me, #greedy money grabbers

  • 4/5 Seani B. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice pub, few different floors, entry by covid pass and you buy online tickets which are expensive!!! €11 Friday night each!! Live music was great, DJ very disappointing...they serve food there too...the wings are nice, burgers big portions but very messy, overall its ok

    One of best spot to watch a match, if looking for crowds and atmosphere in well organised (and covid compliant) setting, won't find much better, loads tv's and huge screen too

  • 5/5 Dearbhla H. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 SANDRA R. 4 months ago on Google
    There is an amazing atmosphere. Just once I got a rude security guy at the front door😔. Except him, all the others doing a really great job. 💕

    Rearden's is a popular bar in Cork city centre. The Bar is a sports bar/ event venue. You can easily meet up with a group of friends and family. You may want to reserve a table if you have a large group of people. Their drinks are priced reasonably. The bar is wheelchair accessible. The bathrooms are wheelchair. There is no wheelchair accessible parking nearby. They have gluten free beers available and a selection of Cider.

    Called in with friends to pass some time with a few beers & watch some football. Brilliant set up for sport, lots of screens including the biggest cinema sized one I've ever seen at the back of the pub.

    Was here for a Christmas party in the hidden attic for work. Bar staff was ok. They didn't have a fully stocked bar. Food was nice for finger food. I just have more options in terms of beer on tap

  • 5/5 James Foley M. 10 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Cliona M. 10 months ago on Google
    I was drinking here and I got served a pint from a chipped glass but didn't mind and the pint was nearly gone when a bar man Jack passed and spotted the glass chipped and got me a fresh pint. Excellent service and thank you Jack 👌

  • 5/5 Brian O. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice big bar to watch the football, good choice of drinks and we enjoyed the food.

  • 1/5 Grace T. 1 year ago on Google
    Ignorant bouncer at door, yelling at me because I was waiting for my friend for few seconds and there was louds of room with me stepping aside. I wasn't chancing my arm trying to get in without a ticket or anything just genuinely thought they were taking walk ins. Will take my business elsewhere. Bouncer clearly doesn't care about the safety of young women on a night out and would happily leave us stranded. As a result I lost my friend both of us stone cold sober.

  • 3/5 Teri C. 1 year ago on Google
    No discrimination with security this time around luckily No messers although it was busy, Had a good time here. Pints are 6.70 in secret garden nightclub: 15euro to get in 1 person. Crazy prices. Won't be there again.

  • 1/5 T V. 1 year ago on Google
    Came here for the Six Nations but is so excessively loud. No need for the speakers to be turned up this much. I can see a lot of people looking around all saying the same thing. The drinks also all taste very odd, all 4 of us said the same. Has to be coming from the glasses/dishwashing, it almost tastes like paint!

  • 5/5 Paul W. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely spacious bar,with big screen TV to watch football, staff friendly and welcoming.

  • 3/5 Easy R. 1 year ago on Google
    Reardens itself is nice place, altho its a joke that if U do leave Ur jacket or whatever else after 7days they will dump it into a bag and sent to Cork Penny Dinnners, we had Christmas party there and couple ppl lost their jackets/jumpers etc.

  • 3/5 Meabh G. 4 years ago on Google
    Was grand. We enjoyed the music. We went there for the end part of hen. We all got in. Sat night, was very busy. Bar 2-3 deep but have to admit the service was fast enough given the busyness. Floor was kept dry by constant mopping, I honestly felt the mop was part of our group. The men were totally desperate in there and all over us in a not so nice way. Defo a place to go if one is after an easy snog etc.

  • 3/5 Dácio A. 4 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Deborah H. 3 years ago on Google
    Great service. Really nice atmosphere. Only fault is they didn't have a vegetarian option on the bar menu. Other than that, top marks.

  • 1/5 Bobby G. 3 years ago on Google
    18•8•20 My friend and I popped in for lunch. I ordered a NON-ALCOHOLIC beer, my friend a pint. A different girl came to the table and would not serve us. "We had had enough" and were cut off. I have 29 years of sobriety and just wanted to eat and have a non-alcoholic beer. I was not drunk, nor was my friend. We sat there a minute afterwards and I was shaking. I am still mortified that the waitress would think this. We were friendly and polite and SOBER! 👎
