  • 5/5 Desmond J. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff here are extremely helpful and friendly. The breakfast is know all over Cork. No wonder (on a Friday morning) They can serve more than 120 customers. That for me is very impressive, especially when it is a pup. Professionally run and highly recommended

  • 4/5 Dom M. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was awesome but the service was a bit slow but I think that was because they were short staffed for that morning

    What can I say about my favorite bar in Cork? Best launch, super nice staff and atmosphere. I'm only there from time to time but service knows before I order what I will ask so it is very nice that they remember me. Love this place! See u soon!
