    The Corner House is one of the best pubs that I have come across recently in Cork. I visited it by chance and was blow away by how unique and authentic the bar is! The walls are covered with pictures and memorabilia from Irish history and times gone by for the owners and locals who frequent this pub! The bar staff are very friendly and attentive and will make sure you get your desired drink promptly! They do a lovely pint of Guinness and they have a wide selection of beers, ciders and wines! Its is a great pub whether you’re looking for a quiet place to have a pint by the fire, or on another night you are looking for a spot with fantastic live music by excellent musicians! This is a must visit if you are in cork for a night!

    Hands down the best pub in Cork. Whether you’re settling in for a quiet crossword and a pint by the fire, or doing a spot of toe tapping/thigh slapping along to the daily live music, the atmosphere is always electric, bar staff always friendly and the Murphys always creamy.

    I wanted to stay! We were out exploring Cork on a warm summer Friday night when we heard music coming from Corner House and had to stop in. I was really enjoying the band, which was "country" but I could pick up feelings of Grateful Dead, John Hiatt and others. The seating in front of the stage was filled with friendly music lovers who would welcome strangers to join them. There's a lot going on with the decor to keep your eyes and mind occupied. I hated to leave, but we had a lot more to squeeze in before bedtime.

    Dropped in for one quick pint when I arrived in Cork, just because they're listed as a stockist of 9whitedeer gluten free beer. Place was quiet on Saturday afternoon but the bar man was friendly and the bar had a good ambience. I'll definitely return some night.

    great ambience very lively, and with some long tale of history attached, if you are looking for an authentic irish bar then this is it! plus a great live music pack, the crowd was great , a great goto place if you wish to relax and rhyme on irish music on any day of the week with some great irish beer and irish coffee.

  • 1/5 Tiaré S. 2 years ago on Google
    Very disappointed, was offended & will not return. Started off well, first drink was grand with good service & nice music. We were a group of 8 that came in after work to enjoy the atmosphere, but we were clearly not welcome and an older gent at the bar made that very clear when we were looking to order again mentioning this wasn't the place for us & we were too loud. We were just chatting at the center of the room as there was no place to sit, nothing excessive. Again, it was disappointing as it started off well.

    A roomy and calm pub with mostly locals. Very friendly and quick service. Fair prices. Live music on many nights. Not a place for wild parties or slamming shots. They pour the best pint of Beamish that I’ve had in Cork.
