    The Rock is such a special place in Cork City .. but do not go there during the Academic year as it will be all students ( if that makes sense )Paul is a local Kerry /Cork /Limerick legend and he will always look after one and all

    Possibly the best bar I've been to in my entire life, and that means an awful lot. Service and the speed of light, extremely friendly staff and an amazing selection of drinks. This is not the end of it!

    Great place for pints, great atmosphere

  • 4/5 Sophie D. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice spot for a Friday night pint. Pint glasses are chilled in the fridge which is a great touch. Reasonable prices and good deals. Nice and spacious smoking area. Once of the few pubs in the city that has a pool table. Very popular with students and always seems to be heaving during the week.

👍 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...
