    O'Sho's Pub is a lovely quaint pub just at the start of Barrack Street. The interior is clean and spacious. The staff are friendly and ready to make you your favourite cocktail. Ordering at the bar was no problem even when the crowd picked up for a bit. There is good music playing playing in the background and they offer a variety of beers, stouts along with gins, wines and cocktails! We tried a few of their cocktails on our second visit to O'Shoes and they were fantastic! I will definitely be back for a few drinks with friends.

    Good fast "regular" & 5G wifi - 5G clocked at 150+ mbs!!! A nice hole in the wall bar/pub in court, it's very close to along the wet where we drop some laundry off. So while waiting for it to be done, we're sitting here having a couple of pints and tea. Very nice. Friendly intimate pub. They don't serve any food but they make here but they allow you to bring in anything. They have menus for our Japanese restaurant very close. So yeah you can sit relax after me. They do have tea all the time as well as many beers.

    Top quality friendly neighbourhood bar. Lovely staff, great cocktails, comprehensive wine list. O'Sho has a dine in arrangement with nearby Mayazkai, the best Japanese restaurant in Ireland (according to critic's & I agree), noisy, fun and delicious. Stop in for a any time treat, solo, or with pals, you will be welcomed and at ease in O Sho.

    Really like this pub. Always have good music, they have great non alcoholic options if you're driving as well. House blended herbal teas, and you can order food from Miyazaki across the road (Japanese food) Only complaint it is not an accessible pub so unsuitable for wheelchair users. Very little option for low seating as well

    OK atmosphere . Had the cocktail of the week it was strange and left us not wanting more . the staff were lovely but the decor didn't have much personality. Drink was expensive for what we had . probably won't go back .

  • 5/5 Hek G. 1 year ago on Google
    Great vibe, very nice staff and a great option to buy some lovely food from Mizayaki next door and enjoy it here. I'm delighted to have discovered this spot!

  • 5/5 Rebecca C. 11 months ago on Google
    O'Sho was great! They have a deal with Miyazaki across the street where you can order food to go and eat at O'Sho with a pint, which works really well. I loved the decor - quite pretty - and the staff was very friendly. It seemed like a nice neighborhood place and we would definitely return if we're ever in Cork.

    Great Bar. Staff friendly. Service from windows and great outside area for a beer and cig. Music very loud at times and spoken word is a great eve. DJs rock the place too, Good service and staff. Worth a visit (if you enjoy a busy noisy bar :-) )

  • 5/5 Pierluigi R. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely pub with a good selection of beers. They allow to bring in the food from the japanese takeaway next door. Friendly place. Reccomended

  • 5/5 Charlie G. 9 months ago on Google
    My favourite bar right now. Pints are well poured. Staff are great. Eimear is a fantastic manager and always makes us feel very welcome. Very happy to spend time here again :)

  • 4/5 Dave O. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice spot for an early evening pint and a chat. Big selection of loose tea also. Apparently you can order food to enjoy in the bar from neighbouring eateries but I have never tried it or noticed anyone else doing so.

  • 5/5 Holly R. 1 year ago on Google
    Had an amazing experience could not recommend the place enough and Cillian did the best cocktails so yum ! We will be back 🙌

  • 1/5 Patrick O C. 10 months ago on Google
    The owners of this establishment, which is in a residential area show no respect for the people living in the area. While they have no licence for on street tables they still permit people to gather and drink in to the late hours on the street. This pub obviously cannot be ran in line with the terms of their licence and should not be supported.

  • 5/5 John Ó R. 5 months ago on Google
    Friendly staff. Great that you can eat your food from Miyazaki here. They have different random things on from time to time like Amuse Bouche from local café's, DJs, Trad sessions, Irish speaking nights etc. Good craic.

  • 1/5 Rosario C. 4 months ago on Google
    We were waiting until the waitress finished her cigarette to be served, I ordered a hot ginger and the glass we ordered our drinks in was greasy, quite disappointed. the quality of service and atmosphere has gone down

  • 5/5 Eugene O. 7 months ago on Google
    Great pub, good music, excellent pint of Heineken, friendly/helpful staff, super atmosphere, good Japanese takeaway across the road that you can eat in the pub… could you ask for more?

  • 5/5 Volodymyr K. 8 months ago on Google
    Small pub with a large heart. Very friendly bartenders, convenient ability to get authentic Japanese food from the take away nearby.

  • 4/5 DC r. 1 year ago on Google
    A quirky pub, I have indulged in a beverage or two on numerous occasions. Always receptive and friendly staff, great drinks and a lively atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Eoin C. 5 years ago on Google
    Beautiful little cosy teaBar. Where good tunes, good vibes, good beer, gin, wine, cocktails, tea and non-alcoholic homemade nectars can be found. Great little cosy window seat that's great on both a dreary wet winter and a stunning summer day.

  • 5/5 Dave F. 5 years ago on Google
    Great bar. For a pint or a cocktail, the quality is top notch. Engaging staff. Music is always good too. Note: coffee is superb; this isn’t just an evening venue. Take a minute out from the city and enjoy a coffee and crossword at O’Sho

  • 5/5 Kelan C. 1 year ago on Google
    Pleasantly surprised with this place great beer and excellent music being played. Bonus points for being allowed to bring in food from Miyazaki across the road 👌

  • 5/5 Gavin M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great service, fantastic cocktails and ambience and the takeaway option was excellent. Thoroughly recommended to all especially visitors to the city as something unique

  • 5/5 Patricia C. 1 year ago on Google
    Gorgeous little pub and the fact you can eat from the local takeaway inside just tops off the experience.

  • 5/5 Darren M. 1 year ago on Google
    Staff are very helpful and friendly. Small but tasty selection of beers. It's possible to get Miyazaki as takeaway from across the street. Makes for a great evening out.

  • 5/5 Victor 2 years ago on Google
    Came across this place yesterday and it was such a delight, everything from the barman to the spacious seating to the decor. If you are looking for a great place to go for a couple of pints while your other half is shopping then this is the place.

  • 5/5 Michael o' M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great pint nice and clean but I feel I am to old but recommend anyone to call in if passing by.A good collection of spirits available.

  • 5/5 Alessio Del B. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent pub with friendly staff. The combo with the next Japanese take away Miyazaki is the best for drinks and food

  • 5/5 John L. 1 year ago on Google
    Something different happening at O"Shos .You can enjoy fresh Japanese food..The bar was packed with a young crowd. Inside Decent pint.Friendly atmosphere. A must visit.

  • 4/5 B D. 1 year ago on Google
    Pub is good, best thing is being able to bring your food in from Miyasaki across the road. Sadly had to leave after one drink because only one person tending bar and was passed over multiple times in the queue to get served.

  • 5/5 Brendan F. 2 years ago on Google
    Super Whiskey sours - savage Beamie - great tunes - nice layout / lighting

  • 4/5 Jean-Didier s. 2 years ago on Google
    1st time to O'Sho as the Hospitality Business reopened fully in Ireland. All in all, and for a 1st outing, this was a really pleasant experience. My main takeaway point, while every table was busy, there was room to roam around and make your order at the bar, and while clearly busy, the staff took the time to have an interaction with every single one of their Customers as i observed. Good job all @O'Sho, i certainly will be back and i am sure the group that was there will want to return too.

👍👍 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.

👍 Crazy good prices on food and beverages. You sacrifice attentive service, but everyone I talked to there was pleasant and helpful.
