    Very local! If you want to embrace Irish style night out, pub crawl to this will be a great choice!

    The most traditional pub in Cork! It's a secret tipp I got from a local. They sell beer cheaper than any other pub I visited (everything is less than 6€) and they have live music every day. Come here and don't make it a tourist attraction! ;)

    Fantastic little bar with friendly staff and a local atmosphere in the heart of Cork. With over 150 different types of whiskeys it's a unbelievable collection.

    Quick service and a covered front patio to shelter you from the rain while allowing you great view of the water and activity. Whether you are enjoying Hendricks or Heineken, there's something for everyone here. Cheers!

    Crowded and lively like I imagined an Irish pub to be!! Live Music tonight! Great selection of whiskey - had me some Redbreast 12 on stones which was tasty! Picture from earlier in the day.

    It was necessary to pop in for a few Guinness when in Cork. The owner was very friendly and everyone in the pub was so nice and full of stories. If you're in the area, definitely pop in for a drink.

    One of the best pubs in Cork. Looks nothing from the outside but if you want an authentic Cork pub, then this is the one to go to. Good pints and a huge selection of whiskey. Often has live music at the weekend. Really small so don't expect oceans of space but that lends to its character.

  • 4/5 Matthew S. 4 months ago on Google
    Great Christmas lads night out. Beers flowing, music humming and atomosphere was great

  • 5/5 Andrea Q. 3 months ago on Google New
    Cool tipical Irish pub. Good beer, no food.

  • 5/5 Vik R. 10 months ago on Google
    Very lovely atmosphere! One of the most oldest pub in Cork and they have captured it perfectly. Do beware space is very limited and it is very unlucky you will get sit/stand inside for a pint to enjoy the aesthetic. Outdoor seating area not ideal for non-smokers as everyone outside was smoking and it was very heavy.

  • 5/5 Holger H. 4 months ago on Google
    One of those cozy, old fashioned pubs that up until fairly recently were all over the place but now are unfortunately a dying breed as everything has been replaced with Super Pubs or Gastro-Pubs. Luckily enough THE WELCOME INN is still around and always worth a visit for anyone who fancies a step back into time and enjoys having a pint in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Dave W. 9 months ago on Google
    Last early morning pub in Cork, great pint, friendly staff. All round great spot. 👍

  • 5/5 George K. 9 months ago on Google
    I came upon this place by accident but it is a treasure if you want to experience something out of an era long gone. The atmosphere is inviting, friendly typical of Irish hospitality ! You are guaranteed to strike up an interesting conversation with the locals! Sit down, relax have a nice pint of Irish stout or if you wish, even a shot of the most expensive whiskey! Those bottles are high up on a shelf and some of them are marked not for sale! This is the only Day Pub left in Cork and is located at the beginning of Oliver Plunket St. on the side close to the Bus station at Parnel Place. If you want to experience its unique and quaint atmosphere and meet genuinely interesting characters, this is definitely the place to visit!

    Great Bar with live music. Exactly how I thought an Irish pub would look and feel! Great priced beer!

  • 4/5 Michael J. 1 year ago on Google
    Great atmosphere, we visited for the day and the staff were very welcoming

  • 1/5 Ann A. 1 year ago on Google
    Had to leave after one drink as we felt very uncomfortable sitting at the table beside a couple who really needed to get a room (and they weren't kids). I visited the toilets before we left & although they looked clean, there was a very strong smell of urine which is unusual for a ladies toilet. Wouldn't go back.

    Cracking spot, great atmosphere in the this small pub in cork, best guinness and always great characters at the bar and behind it 👍

  • 5/5 Anthony F. 1 year ago on Google
    I arrived in at 1030am Saturday and to my surprise the bar was full. Great Guinness sound barman and friendly customers. Top bar delighted to have found this gem. Hopefully I'll be back on my next visit to Cork.

    The name suits the atmosphere. Very welcoming and happy patrons and staff. My first pint of Murphy's in almost 15 years and it was worth the wait (tastes like one more). Will happily return here the next time I'm in Cork

👍👍 Awesome place to grab a bite to eat and have a nice drink or three in downtown Cork. I had the fish and chips and the wife had the lamb stew...they were both perfect.

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