    Nice pizzas and great service, however, we had a reservation for 6 people and when we arrived told we had to sit outside. I wish we had known this beforehand. Also, we had to ask for lime cordial 3 times but they were very busy at the time. Id highly recommend the pizzas as they are thin and delicious

    Absolute class. The cocktails were well presented and tasty. The outdoor is private and warm. The bathrooms were clean and they had a DJ stand , I didn’t hear any as went on a quiet night but pop in to see if you can have a vibe.

    I landed in Brick Lane on a rare enough night off last night.As a group we worked through a good share of the items on the food menu. Everything was absolutely Fantastic.The black pudding/chicken/relish pizza is unbelievable, while the sharing platter is gonna be hard to beat anywhere. Beer was cold and the whiskey sours are also top class. Really enjoyable experience.Lovely casual crowd with a d.j. playing the right stuff. 100 percent worth a visit.

    Bouncer at the doors 👍🏼💪🏼 Why he is asking about my nationality? He’s Polish himself. Didn’t want let me in. My girlfriend Polish. Right behind me. I did talk in English with him 🤷🏻 the very second when he heard my missus start talking Polish with him. He let us in with no hassle 🤦🏻😅😂 Should I learn Polish from now on? Possibly 👍🏼 Not a first time and not a first place where Polish bouncers act like the bellybutton of the world. 1 star for the experience and service. Well done guys 💪🏼 will I comeback or recommend to my friends to visit this pub. Don’t think so.

    Called in for cocktails on the way to dinner somewhere else. Friendly and efficient system meant we had a table for the hour. Service great. Cocktails good value.

  • 5/5 Carolina Alves M. 8 months ago on Google
    I ordered four drinks and the burgers. The burgers we were very delicious and I loved the mayo sauce. All drinks were very good, but one of my martini, the bartender put a lot of ice and was hard to drink. Besides that, it was an amazing experience.

  • 5/5 Brian A. 11 months ago on Google
    Had food and a pint here recently and had a lovely experience. Staff were very friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. Beef burger was top notch and the side sauce with chips was super tasty. Gluten Free bun on the burger was way better than most places. Would recommend.

    We got carnivore sharing platter today in brick lane and a round of cocktails, the portions were minuscule. Cocktail was nice but when we were paying for our bill we mentioned we weren’t happy with the portion sizes, server rolled her eyes at us and said nothing. Definitely won’t be back. Left hungry and frustrated, €38 for a platter is ridiculous when the portions are so small. We were very disappointed.

    Had breakfast here this morning. Lovely spot. Good food. Fantastic service.

  • 5/5 Grace 3. 9 months ago on Google
    Great cocktails - 2 for €15 till 9pm. Didn't have food but the pizzas looked good.

    I had a Blood Orange Orchard Thieves Cider here and spent the rest of my trip day dreaming about that pint. The place had awesome art around and the food was delicious. We got sandwiches for lunch. Highly recommend!

    Good staff, nice place, food could be better.

    Went to Brick Lane last night to start off our night of the jazz. The atmosphere was amazing! The bands they had on were fabulous. Great music and not too loud either. The staff behind the bar were so lovely. Morgan looked after us for the night and he was so so lovely. The best part of the night was the food!! We ordered nachos with Cajun chicken and the goujons. TO DIE FOR! Still thinking about the food this morning. 5 stars from us.

    I had the Cuban for breakfast, unfortunately while it was good there was no jalapenos. Food was still tasty however and pint was great.

  • 1/5 Eric S. 4 months ago on Google
    Extremely disappointed. Have been to Brick Lane many times and today was the first day that I didn’t enjoy it one bit. We ordered an omelette and a Cuban Benedict and it was absolutely awful. The omelette (served on a beaten up wooden board) was luke warm at best. Same goes for the Benedict (served on a side plate). Portion was absolutely tiny, poor quality, and 14€+. No chips, no side salad, no garnish. One piece of bread with an egg, tasteless pulled pork with cold hollandaise. No one came to check on us. We weren’t asked how everything was when paying at the bar. Overall really terrible customer service considering the place was practically empty. Won’t be returning. I would have taken a photo but the food was gone after 3 bites. We then left 10 minutes later to go eat somewhere else as we were still hungry.

    Had brunch today 5th of November at approx 13.30. We had Cuban benedict, poor food quality and small portion for price. Shoe string potatoes were little bits and pieces, practically non existent. Customer service poor, when came to paying. Staff more interested in talking to each other. Two young staff members seen that my brother was at bar waiting. But blatantly ignored him, more interested in continuing with their conversations. Not looking for reply from management, as seem to fob people off who have negative reviews about pricey food for small size portions and poor customer service.

  • 1/5 Michaela K. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was awful. Buttermilk pancake uncooked in the middle. The response from the staff was "they're supposed to be like that"! Nah, don't think so. Never had them raw in the middle before. You just haven't cooked them properly 🤢

  • 2/5 Diarmuid H. 1 year ago on Google
    Went in here for a quick bite, but won't be back. No allowance for one person who was a vegetarian. They said they had no eggs!!! They used them all at breakfast time. How they got them exactly right is amazing.

  • 3/5 Gerlene K. 1 year ago on Google
    Looked forward to brunch this morning. A rare treat for us. Although my husband’s breakfast bap was lovely (he shared some with me) and the coffee good, I can’t believe the excuse for a pancake dish I got for €11. Two small, flat dull pancakes. Looked and taste like it was reheated and made yesterday/hours ago. €11!!! Yes, there were 2 streaky rashers too. The pancakes were around 10cm diameter. And, they say, made with buttermilk. Never again. Photo shows pancakes after I’ve started eating it. And a bit of my husband’s breakfast bap in corner.

    The service was very poor. Staff seemed annoyed. Its a shame because the food was nice as is the interior of the pub but it is somewhat ruined by the poor service!

    Had brunch here whilst on a weekend away. Really good atmosphere, staff were friendly and the food so tasty.

  • 5/5 David G. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food, friendly staff & wonderful atmosphere. Brunch was lovely, tasty and decent portion

  • 1/5 Angela R. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ll give them one star as seems mandatory to write something in here. In fairness I have to say that the food was lovely and really good product quality. My disappointment is due to the service we have received today. We were four people who ordered brunch, it was 14:20 once we finished and few of us wanted to order more food as we were still hungry. At that moment a table of three sat down next to us and ordered food so we tried to order two more dishes and the waiters told us the kitchen was closed. I got really shocked with her words as it was still 14:20 and three people just ordered, so I ask her why they wouldn’t serve more food if we were still on time. She did it give me any explanations she just said it was closed and she was sorry. I tried to order a dessert then and sadly they didn’t have any option. The food is great but not the service they offer as this is not what they firstly serve.

    The dull look on the outside is misleading. This pub restaurant is big and still comfortable and the staff is friendly. They have a huge screen with Sky Sports for football matches.

  • 5/5 Vita B. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice and cozy outside, got bbq wings with my boyfriend the best wings we have ever had, tasty and juicy. Excellent service and good atmosphere.

    Lovely cocktail menu and lovely bar but the attitude of some staff members was absolutely horrendous. I definitely wouldn't go there again

  • 2/5 Gemma H. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been to brick lane many times throughout the years and it was a great place to go for brunch dinner and lunch with friends family and a date. A fab bar and restraunt that does great cocktails and variety of food, but the last two years there menu had less variety, a lot of it during lunch and dinner is burgers, pizza fried stuff. Before I was able to go have a nice carbonara (which they have changed to just meat in it, used to have lovely mushroom and such, but that has become basic and not worthy of the price you pay. Me and friends have decided we will go elsewhere until we here of improvements and we are gutted to say that as it was a much loved restraunt and bar.

  • 4/5 Assunta D. 5 years ago on Google
    Very good brunch! The poached eggs were really good. Nicely decorated, great atmosphere, nice terrace out front, friendly staff and great food selection (also gluten free option available).

  • 1/5 Dominika P. 1 year ago on Google
    Terrible bartending service, (more details) I wanted to order drinks at the front bar, there was one person ordering on the right side of the bar, all chairs were taken so I went on the left side of the bar, bartender saw me standing with my card in hand waiting, but he kept taking orders off people coming to the bar after me on the other side of the bar, after like 10 mins he decided to tell me he doesnt take orders on that side of the bar and he walked away. Saturday 21/05 around 9pm

  • 4/5 Casandra de la rosa m. 2 years ago on Google
    Pretty good, and nice prices. The burger with blue cheese was really good. The only thing I was a bit disappointed was the nachos. Lovely environment and super original decoration.

  • 5/5 Anie V. 2 years ago on Google
    I went there with two of my friends and we had a lovely brunch. A lovely sunday cocktail and food was really really good. On top the stuff is really nice and the venue has as well some charm. I can highly recommend this place.

👍👍 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.
