    Dennehy's Bar is a brilliant local pub in the middle of the city! The owners and staff are friendly, attentive and most of all welcoming! They have a lovely selection of beer on tap however, I came in for a pint of stout. They serve a delicious pint of Guinness here and I can't imagine that any of the other stouts would be any different! Layout: The layout of the bar is split into two rooms. The first room is in the front and surrounds the bar itself with some seating. The second room has more seating and is to the rear of the premises. There is a small amount of seating out front of the bar which is lovely on a nice sunny day to enjoy a cold drink. Decor: The pub is decorated with memorabilia from Cork City's history through maps and photographs of the people as well as little plaques with historic details, etc. There is an old fire place in the room to the back of the bar. It was the third of June when we visited and it was covered up so I am not sure if it is still in use. Maybe we'll visit again when the weather gets colder and see if the fire place is in use then! I didn't notice any tv other than an old antique tv. The feel of this is a bar is one of a place where people should come for conversation rather than come to watch tv! Overall Opinion: Dennehy's Bar is an old school bar with a timely feel to it! Things feel like they move a little slower here and its wonderful! I highly recommend stopping by Dennehy's Bar for a beautiful pint of Guinness or drink of your choosing and have a good auld chat with friends!

    We were given superb hospitality being (not young) gay guys who dined over the road and came back. We had good conversation with staff and locals (the bearded political history guy did not put us off at all). We had a great time and will call again - we should be over again in about March. Huge thanks for giving us a great night before sailing to Spain.

    Dennehy's Bar is local bar in the middle of the city. The atmosphere is great. You feel like you are stepping back in time when things moved at a slower pace. The owners and staff are friendly and welcoming. They have a lovely selection of beer on tap. It is wheelchair accessible. There is wheelchair accessible parking nearby. You will need to wear a mask when entering the shop, due to C19. #accessible #wheelchairaccessible

    A small pub I did not know before yesterday. Calm and peaceful compared to the other bigger ones on the same street. Small selection of draught beers but was nice and the staff was friendly

  • 5/5 ieva 1 year ago on Google
    The best bar in Ireland. Owned by most welcoming folks you ever meet. Don't think of going anywhere else for your pint of stout.

  • 4/5 dionne f. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely pub cosy and if you're out just for the chat with no loud music it's the place for you

  • 5/5 Eoin D. 5 years ago on Google
    Superb little hideout in Cork. Cash only and in this case I like it. It brings you back a couple of years and a small price to pay for a great service. Very friendly place, feels comfy and relaxed. If you wanted a pint with a friend or a quiet drink its my number one spot. No pictures need - old irish pub is the only description you'll need!

👍 Crazy good prices on food and beverages. You sacrifice attentive service, but everyone I talked to there was pleasant and helpful.
