    The Courtyard On Sober Lane is Ireland's best outdoor venue which can be used for parties and other events. This place also has a large outdoor TV screen. People come to this place when it's sunny to watch football matches or other sports matches on this TV screen. It's like a cinema! Special place overall and I recommend everyone to visit this place.

    Really good place for a break and enjoy outside of the Cork's weather. I had two cappuccinos.

    Great atmosphere and fantastic open area. Big screen makes it a perfect spot for watching sport. Good selection of drinks and food also, with a dedicated Cocktail menu. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Definitely a spot to try on a good sunny day.

    The food was overpriced and of poor quality. The service was terrible, we routinely could not get any service from the servers and had to go up to the bar multiple times to get table service. They didn't cook part of our food order, and multiple people had to have their mains cooked after every body else was served and finished eating, but they still managed to double charge us for those items. I won't be returning to this establishment again. And would recommend you don't either.

    Average food at expensive prices. The menu is very fried food dominated. The staff were friendly and helpful. The place is like a big barn, lacks any sort of atmosphere. Chips were not great, small not much flavour off them. Salad wasnt dressed, bland limp leaves with some onions and peppers.

    Nice atmosphere, friendly service, good drinks menu and tasty thin pizzas. Wonderful outdoor seating space and indoor “open roof” seating areas

    Couldn't do enough for you. Would have been beautiful on a sunny day. Coors wasn't great on tap if that's your drink but the staff couldn't do enough for you. And the food was lovely

    Thank you to the courtyard’s team! You can come here to have a great time with your friends! Staff are very comprehensive and do their best to satisfy you. We were more than 10 people and have been served after 10/15 mns the command is given. I took the TUSCAN pizza (Homemade pizza dough, tomato & herb sauce, mozzarella cheese, cajun chicken, pepperoni, roasted red peppers & house basil pesto). The pizza is well cooked, very good and delicious! Share your time with people you love and come to this incredible place! Important to know that this place is more enjoyable during a big sunny day otherwise it will be better to come inside.

    Great menu, nicely cooked pizza and great drink selection. Very reasonably priced. The courtyard is nicely presented, great for summer drinking.

  • 5/5 Dean R. 11 months ago on Google
    Excellent restaurant and club bar. Eder, you are coming for a morning coffee, lunch, dinner, or dance at Courtyard On Sober Lane, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. It is located in Cork City Center, which gives you quick access to numerous shops, sites, parks, churches, and monuments. I love Friday and Saturday nights at Sober because it's full of young people dancing and having the best of fun. I ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE AS ONE OF TOP 5 IN CORK CITY ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  • 5/5 s d. 5 years ago on Google
    Really great spot especially if the sun is out as it was the two days we where there. Food was fantastic and the huge screen was great for looking at the world cup. Definitely recommend this for a drink and food.

  • 5/5 Tony F. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Siobhan C. 1 year ago on Google
    Just want to say we have had two occasions now in the courtyard my daughters 30th and yesterday her baby shower and omg I can not praise the staff and the service enough Denis looked after us for both occasions and to say he went above and beyond on the 2 occasions is an understatement. He is absolute credit to the bar and if you need to have a party or just a night out I can recommend this spot enough The staff the food omg the food is absolutely delicious I could go on and on but seriously an amazing place and can’t wait to have my granddaughter’s christening down there Thanks a million Denis and all the team

  • 5/5 Helen G. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely meal; catering for vegans, gluten free etc too. Great cocktails and service. Definitely a 5 star evening. Thanks to Denis and all the staff

  • 5/5 Celso V. 1 year ago on Google
    Very shiny and huge. Went for a company barbecue and it's grand for parties with big amount of people, also they have very good cocktails. The downside of it is the counter queue that can get very big and delays your pints, but that's not that big deal as it closes late.

  • 5/5 John C. 1 year ago on Google
    I had a pleasant lunch here in the courtyard in the sun. The menu is typical for pub food. It was well cooked and well presented. Service was also excellent.

  • 5/5 Steve D. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to go for a night out for drink and food. Staff are so friendly and can not do enough for you. The food there is excellent and plenty of it. Highly recommend The Courtyard on Sober Lane.

  • 5/5 Aran S. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing! Lovely design and atmosphere inside, and a nice, spacious, and well-maintained outdoor area. The food was perfect, and I loved the layout of the kitchen, allowing us to see the chef cooking everything. Drinks were very good; a large selection of draught and bottle beers, wines, and spirits. The cocktails were excellently crafted by a very knowledgeable and friendly bartender. Some drinks even had pre-chilled glasses! I highly recommend here.

  • 5/5 Joe O. 1 year ago on Google
    I haven't been here since it was just an actual courtyard. There has been a lot of money spent here and the facility is excellent and can handle a very large crown. Finger food was very good and generous portions.

  • 5/5 Dale H. 2 years ago on Google
    Really lovely place, lovely food and the staff are so so friendly, bar manager (I didn't get his name unfortunately) was so nice and accommodating would definitely recommend to anyone going for a few drinks or cocktails

  • 3/5 ellen L. 2 years ago on Google
    It's a great bar if there is a match or function on other than that it is only OK. The pizza is tasty and the outdoor area is large which is great if you get the weather for it

  • 5/5 Katy M. 1 year ago on Google
    Pizzas were really good! Wish they had more variety would be better. Service was lovely and fair prices.

  • 5/5 Tom F. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely spot especially on a hot sunny day, very large with plenty of space. Staff are great and friendly, wide selection of food and drinks. Which I enjoyed will definitely return

  • 4/5 Jamila N. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely enjoyed this place , the set up reminded me of the the courtyard in Jamaica abit . Great tables and benches . The cocktail menu is vast and the presentation is on point. The food menu has starters mains pizzas burgers and few vegan options. Toilets easy to access and staff friendly. Order and pay. Both myself and partner will be happy to return. Must say Dennis and the other young lady helping table 3 was exceptional friendly professional. Loved it

👍👍 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...
