    Country pub in the middle of Cork city. Probably the only pub in cork worth visiting. Very welcoming and friendly. Especially considering we were an excitable crew of 10 browls having a send off for our new Zealand friend Bean. Great beer and better jagerbombs. Will be back for more divilment when the body allows

    What a little gem of a really traditional pub. The pint of Guinness was the very best. Nice to have a decent conversation with the locals without loud TV or Music. Well worth a visit.

    The Castle Inn was wonderful all around. The family who runs the Inn alongside their employees were super friendly and hospitable. Our room was spacious, clean and beautifully decorated. The pub is super cosy and the food we had while there was delicious. We will definitely stay again.

    Guinness Guru highly rated this pub and that’s why I stopped in here while I was in Cork. Came for the Guinness, stayed because of Micheal. He was pure class, and the Guinness was exceptional. Highly recommend to anybody in Cork. Michael, if you see this, cheers from NY!

    Best pint of Guinness you'll find. Great little pub with a very friendly barman. Was a bit quiet being late on a Monday, but definitely worth a visit if you like your stout.

    Most expensive pint of Murphy's in Cork. Will not return. Doesn't offer anything to justify the price of the drinks. Small , dingy bar. Don't bother

    If your looking for a pint of stout in Cork...you won't find better than here. A little bit of the country nestled in the middle of the city. Lovely spot.

👍👍 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...
