    Very poor. Pints were old and stale. Staff were quite ignorant saying serving age was 23 years old. And me being 22 was illegal. Almost disgraceful

    Called in for few drinks with my wife about 5 in the evening(midweek)young courteous staff,however music so loud couldn't hear our own voices,left after 1. To be clear I'm a huge R and B Fan,but everything in its place

  • 5/5 Delia B. 9 months ago on Google
    Didn't have food but atmosphere fantastic...DJ is brilliant and plays a lot of the oldies...definitely recommend this venue.

    Visited here for drinks on a Saturday night. While the pub in itself was grand there was a few strange things about it. It has very old clients to the point where I thought I was about 30 years younger than everyone else in here. The DJ was playing 70s/80s music which was great but it was a bit cheesy/sleazy with the comments he was making. It felt like a pub out of Benidorm or somewhere.

    Lovely bar watched Tottenhan beat Manchester City being a Spurs it was a great day it was a pity about the background music could not hear the commentary but will be back again

    We had great fun here listening to Irish music. Bought T-shirts.

  • 4/5 David O' L. 7 months ago on Google
    Super friendly lady working behind the bar. Good pints and nice interior. The only irritating thing is this constant beeping noise that comes from the back that apparently cannot be turned off . Owners should have a look into this.

    Given a pint of Guinness immediately on ordering, young lady gave it to me on Sunday 17th, it was there for ages before being given to me. Disgrace.

  • 3/5 Vivienne M. 8 months ago on Google
    Music too loud, felt sorry for the bar staff as they will be deaf soon. Good atmosphere though.

  • 5/5 Liam M. 5 months ago on Google
    The service was brilliant and needless to say rocking Jerry was his usual self, rude, offensive, and great fun.He was absolutely rocking it.

  • 3/5 Stephen E. 7 months ago on Google
    Good atmosphere with an authentic 80's DJ playing hits from the era.

    Have to say first time there,staff very helpful to our autistic son ,I think some of the staff should go easy on asking do you want another drink when you weren't even finished your first, otherwise well,we be back.

  • 5/5 Preston W. 1 year ago on Google
    Iconic place, immaculate vibes, I cannot describe the euphoria I felt during their 80s night on Sunday. A must see in Cork, for the culture, people, and music. Felt right at home and one of the locals that night. (The DJ is an absolute icon)

  • 1/5 molly m. 1 year ago on Google
    The man behind the bar had an awful attitude, he wasn’t welcoming when we were visiting the pub on our day in cork. I wanted a gin and lemonade and he passed me a big bottle of lemonade and said I could have it and do it my self in a rude tone, I said I don’t want the whole bottle and he said he wasn’t giving it to me that belongs to him. Don’t recommend

  • 5/5 Marney O S. 1 year ago on Google
    Door staff and bar staff very friendly. If you like to dance to 70's, 80's,90's tunes you will enjoy this retro type bar.

👍👍 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. Service was first rate and I'd highly recommend heading to the bar for a talk with the experts on a food whiskey choice! You cant...

👍 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...
