    Space looked interested,service unexistent, zero points, pizza base was not fresh( know coz I am a shef), there was not extra plates ,said they dont have it and we got disposal knife and fork like it is for takeaway. For a price we paid it was a joke . Staff was not really friendly...Would not recomend it . I will not come back for sure nor my familly and friends.

    If you’re in Cork, you must not miss Tom Barry’s for it’s one of the amazing pizza places in town! Situated just a few steps away from the centre, it’s one of the oldest pubs and beer gardens that serves super authentic Italian pizzas. The outdoor seating area is ideal for summers. The food is super delicious and their perfect thin crust pizzas have an amazing texture. Our personal favourite pizza is FRIDA with its mixture of ham, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella and rockets. . PS: Do check their meal deals and offers to save some bucks.

    Came upon this place by accident. It was a bank holiday and everywhere else was closed for food. It was like coming upon an oasis in the desert! Excellent pizza and friendly staff! You are surrounded by fake orange trees but the atmosphere is nice nonetheless! Ireland ! Full of gems! So I lie to d’aver fatto la tua conscienza ! Molte grazie!

    Amazing Italian pizza by an Italian pizza boy! Tasty. His pizza can hardly be compared to other (non Italian) places in Cork for its savorous flavors and garnish. Along with birra moretti my pizza Caravaggio is worth a short detour away from city center. Warmly recommend !

    Cozy place with delicious pizza and friendly staff. There is even a vegan cheese alternative. Although I have to say that I was a bit disappointed about the vegan cheese. If I have to pay 2€ extra in order to get a vegan alternative, I'd expect it to be as much cheese as on the normal pizzas. Apart from that, Tom Barry's is a great place to go to.

    One of the best woodfire pizzas you can have, the Goya is my favourite. Also a classic pub. I always enjoy Tom Barry's whenever I come to Cork.

    Tom's is always friendly and welcoming. Perfect pints, delicious pizza and a trad session on Sunday nights

  • 5/5 Jack H. 1 year ago on Google
    One of Cork's best pubs, with a warm cosy interior and a beer garden that works equally well heated in winter or on a long summer evening. The delicious pizzas are the cherry on top. That metaphor doesn't work but you know what I mean.

  • 2/5 Desirée S. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ll give two stars because the pizza is lovely. The manager is the rudest person I’ve ever spoken to. Funnily enough, talking to other friends they all agree that the pizzas are great here but the service isn’t good, so we don’t go anymore.

    Was here recently, early on a Saturday evening. Sitting down on a stool with my mother. We were then barked at by an barmaid and barked is the only way I could describe her tone. She said we couldn’t sit at the bar if they got any busier, I’ve no issues with this. My issue lies with the way we were spoken to. We stood at the bar (next to the chairs) which didn’t cause any issues. This seems a bit ridiculous, don’t sit on the stools at the bar but stand next to them instead. In addition, a friend of mine ordered off the QR code on the table and the order never arrived. He explained this to the bar staff and was advised to re-order in person and a refund would be issue in 2-3 days. The refund never arrived and he rang the bar. He was told that he had no proof and they would not re-issue the refund. The customer service here is abysmal, and I will be spreading the word. Funnily enough, when I share my negative experience of this establishment, i receive even more negative feedback from others.

    Tom Barrys has one of the best pizzas in Cork. it depends how you like the pizza, but this is definitely a good one. You'll find some boardgames and overall it is a really cozy venue. Perfect to hang out with friends

  • 5/5 Eleanor C. 5 months ago on Google
    I've been in here so many times and every time it's a delight. The food is wonderful and the staff are always so friendly. Easily some of the best pizza I've ever had and it's consistently great

  • 2/5 Carl C. 9 months ago on Google
    Amazing place. Flowers, outside area, snug, amazing pizza, and great music. However the volume of the music ruins it all. Hard to have a conversation which is my main priority when going to a pub. It’d be an easy recommendation if the volume was lower. Also if there was more craft beer it’d be great.

  • 5/5 Rodolfo R. 4 months ago on Google
    Atmosphere of this place is great. Despite not being an expert in Cork night outs this is one of my fav places. Loved the pizza! I recommend it.

  • 5/5 Sophie C. 1 year ago on Google
    Loved everything about this place. Great music! Great atmosphere! Delicious pizza (we had the pizza with vegan cheese and it was soooo good!). Friendly staff too. Well worth a trip

  • 5/5 Rory O. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best pubs in the city, delicious pizzas and a large smoking area with plentyof tables and benches. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Aoife O. 1 year ago on Google
    One of my favourite places to go for pizza and pints in cork. In my opinion it’s the best pizza in cork, nothing beats it! The pints are gorgeous, according to my boyfriend they have the best beamish in cork and I am delighted because they have blood orange orchard thieves on tap which most places don’t. Also super friendly staff and great atmosphere. Have fun games like Jenga, connect 4 and cards etc! Defo recommend ❤️❤️

  • 4/5 Luis G. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing pizza, arguably the best in Cork city, quick service and great beer. The only thing I'd point out is the exceedingly loud music that only affects some seats closer to the speakers. Apart from that, excellent place to enjoy the company of friends. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Feárgus O. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a great pub in a real historic part of Cork City .. Very well run public house … lives up to its name

  • 5/5 Lukasz P. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice place with tables outside to enjoy fresh air but covered with roof. Worm enough to sit outside. Good also for some pizza :)

  • 4/5 Carl 2 years ago on Google
    Decent pints and option for food is there. But of a hike but that’s all right.

  • 1/5 John T. 2 years ago on Google
    Went in at 18:30 to get a table for a group of 4 of us. First girl I met was very helpful and said take any table without a reserved sign. I waited 15 minutes for a free table with no reservation sign. Got the table and was waiting for my friends to arrive. At 2 minutes to 7 a man came up and plopped a sign down saying somebody had just booked the table I was sitting at for 7 so I’d have to leave the table. So your customers who ring are more important? Extremely poor service. After hearing good things, If this is the way you treat your patrons I won’t be back and I won’t be recommending it to anybody else. Steer clear. Shocking carry on.

    Tom Barry's. Well known pub on the South side fantastic beer garden. A must see.. They have there own pizza kitchen in the back garden.great pizza and affordable price. The pint only fair.enjoy.

  • 5/5 jen L. 1 year ago on Google
    They have out door dining area which it’s perfect for the summer time, and also, the indoor area it mixed the Irish bar style with Italian food, and they have some board game, which is nice. I like the white pizza selection - Michelangelo - the cheese on top of pizza it’s classic and they serve the food quickly and name of food on the menu it’s creative, ex famous paintings artist, I like it. Recommend for the friend’s chat and dating, family friendly as well.

👍 Crazy good prices on food and beverages. You sacrifice attentive service, but everyone I talked to there was pleasant and helpful. The food was good and there were actually a number of beers that I have not seen elsewhere in the Cork area. I would not say this is a must do if visiting from abroad, b...
