    Pa Johnson 's is a great place to chill and relax. They have live music and a decent selection of drinks. It is wheelchair accessible. The bathroom is wheelchair accessible. Didn't see wheelchair accessible parking. It is a semi cozy and relaxing place. It is on the main street; it is a bit noisy. Regardless, it is a cool place to chill. #accessible

    I visited it because of The Accordion & Fiddle Club which meets there on the last Wednesday of every month. Thoroughly enjoyed it... Amazing talent there & lovely tea and sandwiches served by the owners.. l was speaking to regulars there and they said it is a pretty lively and jolly place as a rule.

    It started out as a nice quiet place. Myself and my friends had decided to stay after our first two pints, however it descended rapidly from that point on. A particularly noisy group of drinkers decided we would all enjoy their singing (shouting the words). The barman seemed unconcerned by this and dispite a number of people leaving, he didn't intervene. After about ten minutes of this noise we decided to leave the place although we all had almost full pints. A pity as it is a nice pub when quiet.

    Nice pints but if you aren't a regular and want to have a chat with your friends go elsewhere. Actually told to stop talking

    A great bar just off the beaten track. A place where you can sit in peace or have a friendly chat as punters come and go. A gem.

    A great place to enjoy a decent pint served by courteous and helpful staff. An authentic and original bar that is a mainstay of life in Cork for both locals and tourists alike. A must visit.

    Pá Johnsons is a great place for music dancing and all round merriment of a Monday night, lovely staff great live music, other nights they have quizzes and crossword, piped music and relaxed atmosphere

    Pa Johnson's is a true Cork City Pub. Barry is the 2nd generation and the pictures on the walls reflect the music life of the city from Rory Gallagher, who was a classmate, to the Dixies and beyond. It can be quiet but at times there is no better place in the city.

    What a dump. It was the favorite hangout of our Irish friend from 30 years ago. It has seen it's better days, if it every did. We arrive about 10:30 in the evening, and the place was practically abandoned with only one patron at the bar. Mercifully, they close shortly after, so we had our pint and moved along. Maybe it's just for locals only.

👍👍 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...
