    Yesterday me and my 2 friends went to this pub. It was completely empty apart from a heavy set older man who asked us to leave because we "looked like you were after a few". We were 100% sober at the time of this incident and the bar was empty. No one was inside it apart from that guy who asked us to leave. This guy was watching the TV. My guess is that this guy wanted the TV to himself. There were four people hanging out outside who were also not allowed in. This was around 4pm.

    A good vibe, rock bar with a large smoking area out back. Bartenders are easy to talk to and guniness is good!

    Was spoilt with a stellar performance by Deuce here last night, a Rory Gallagher tribute. Fantastic gig great atmosphere . Reasonably priced Murphys at €4.70. Freindly staff. Will be back for more gigs in the near future. Thanks Fred 👍🏻

    Amazing drinks, and even better music. Gotta love the ambience at Fred Zeppelins. The staff is really nice and friendly too. The only issue is that they don't accept card and when it comes to cash they don't break big notes, you have to have change with you. Other than that it's an amazing place to get a few pints at. The cocktails are really out of the world too! An overall great experience

    Great place for metalheads, fair prices and varied drinks not only beer. Upstairs there's a small venue for live shows. I completely recommend this place 🤘

    Original, authentic and the only metal/rock bar in Cork City. Great vibe and friendly staff. "Admit it. You aren’t like them. You’re not even close. Find the others".

    Stopped going because of the toxic music scene which this bar is a very popular spot for. I can't tell you how many people I've talked to who've said the same thing.

  • 5/5 Derek H. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Shane O. 1 year ago on Google
    Easily one of the best and down to Earth pubs in Cork, always deserves a visit

  • 5/5 Chris T. 11 months ago on Google
    Old school rock/metal pub, great loud music from Soundgarden to System of the Down. Cool bar staff, it's a non nonsense spot for a beer and a bit of fun. Excellent live music too - all heavy,loud and full on energy so don't bother if you want a quiet acoustic evening it's not for you.

  • 5/5 Zé M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to see some live bands! Alternative and friendly staff! 🤘🏼

  • 4/5 Vanessa R. 7 months ago on Google
    Great energetic spot for metal / rock vibes and not uncomfortably loud either. They have live music gig venues upstairs, that is occasionally paid. Always busy and buzzing.

  • 5/5 Bojan T. 8 months ago on Google
    Great rock bar with a venue for live sessions. Great selection of drinks and beers on tap, and the prices are fair. Staff very friendly, crowd attending slightly on the younger side, but you're sure to see people of all ages having a great time Amazing spot for lovers of rock and metal and live music in general!

  • 5/5 Christoph P. 4 months ago on Google
    Great for having a pint, even better upstairs when there is live music playing

  • 5/5 Joss F. 5 months ago on Google
    Great music live and downstairs. Very varied interesting people, oddballs, nice people And smokers, tattoos, torn stockings. From Goth to straightest. Normal - abnormal.

  • 5/5 Cathal Shiel L. 1 year ago on Google
    The homeland of every rock and metalhead in the Rebel County (or even thise into the local music scene in general). Awesome vibes and wonderful staff.

  • 5/5 Aidan M. 1 year ago on Google
    Corks premier rock and metal bar. Great gig spot. Friendliest clientele on the planet. Probably not for you if you're a prude though.

  • 4/5 Ger O' R. 1 year ago on Google

    Great little bar, cool music. Nice small room for gigs upstairs

  • 5/5 William M. 1 year ago on Google
    The place to visit if you are in Cork. Only weeks before my visit Cork's famous Rock Bar, Fred Zeppelins, reopened its doors on Parliament Street after 102 weeks.

  • 5/5 Tony C. 1 year ago on Google
    A great selection of the finest beers and spirits with a good atmosphere and an, eclectic mix of music. A must visit for both locals and tourists alike.

    An amazing place. It's a nice and small pub. You get to know people around you which is great. Good atmosphere and good music.
