Dan Lowrey's Tavern

Restaurant Bar Irish pub Irish restaurant

👍👍 Great little pub on Macurtain St. Note: it is rather small and I’ve seen it overflowing on certain days. Just popped in for an impromptu evening pint on a weekday and there was ample seating available at the bar and tables. I didn’t actually know that they served food, but I see some pics in the rev... People often mention great, staff, pint, good, friendly, atmosphere, Lovely,

    Great little pub on Macurtain St. Note: it is rather small and I’ve seen it overflowing on certain days. Just popped in for an impromptu evening pint on a weekday and there was ample seating available at the bar and tables. I didn’t actually know that they served food, but I see some pics in the reviews. The pint was great. I dig the true Irish pub feel and I noticed a decent whiskey selection, especially the full line up of the Spot whiskies including the Gold. Would definitely return.

    We only had drinks here (no food). Fabulous ambinace, wonderful friendly lady at the bar. Guiness just superbe. If we lived here this would our favourite establishment (But we are from France)

    We came to Ireland for a week, but only came to Cork on a day tour. Luckily, we swung into Dan Lowery's for lunch. Fantastic atmosphere, a great pint, and the best shepherd's pie I've ever had. Charming place with warm service. Definitely highly recommended.

    Best pub in Cork if you want to have a conversation instead of battling loud music. A great selection of beers, stouts and whiskies in a busy but friendly atmosphere. The 125 year old pub, with it's 300 year old stained glass windows looks amazing too.

    I am living locally a frequent visitor, always had a positive experience until last night. It was my birthday and I brought 3 friends with me and one female staff member was extremely rude and I was treated very badly on two occasions because I was standing at the end of the bar while I ordered my round. It’s a shame that a member of staff can treat a regular customer in that way. I will be taking my business elsewhere on McCurtain street in future.

    Great atmosphere. An old school cork pub. New ownership I believe, but it's kept the original look and feel. "If it ain't broke ,don't fix it ".

    Nice atmosfeer, very good bar. But only gluten free beer is Peroni. This could be better when I compare to other bars in Cork.

    Grand Cork pub and so close to the station it's a doddle to get to from Mallow. Good pint and company too.

  • 5/5 Onur T. 7 months ago on Google
    Very quiet and home-like pub. Helpful staff, reasonable prices(4.90 for a stout), great authentic interior design with carpets, fireplace & wooden walls. Hope they keep it like that as not many quiet places present in town.
