    Dwyers is a great bar for socialising with friends and as I recently found out they also do fantastic food! The staff are friendly and there is a great atmosphere in the bar. There is plenty of space within the bar between the tables, bar stools and snugs dotted all around the ground floor. The was fantastic, we got their hot sauce wings and tried their beef and chicken burgers while we met with some friends. On the drinks side of things, they do a great pint of Guinness if you are into stout and they carry a wide variety of other beers, spirits and make fantastic cocktails! There is an outdoor seating as well if you want to sit outside! I have also been here for work parties and its a brilliant venu for that sort of occasion!

    Really enjoyed the brunch (aka “crunch”) here! Some diverse menu items which were a pleasant surprise. Super cool vibe too.

    While the food was delicious and very filling, both dishes were presented immaculately and definitely hit the spot, other factors of our visit left a lot to be desired. Firstly we were sat at a dirty table with clearly visible sauce marks that were ignored untill we asked for them to be cleaned, secondly, the cocktails are a disaster, great if you want watered down alcohol in a glass over flowing with ice that soon creates a small pool on the table, feel like we paid a fortune just for the ice and lastly the tables are far too close together with little to no space for patrons or staff to walk past. We couldn't hack being squashed in a corner anymore so left to go elsewhere after our meal. Overall, food is fantastic, everything else leaves a lot to be desired.

    Great atmosphere but a bit crazy on a busy Saturday night. If you want love music and a busy vibe, this is your place. If you’re looking for somewhere a bit quieter, try a different time of day. Great decor and an interesting place.

    Loved this place. We came twice. Once for the brunch cocktail deal, and again for an evening meal. I would off liked to see a more varied choice for a main meal with a varied price option for those on a budget. All very good. Massive choice off cocktails, great decor and atmosphere. Worth a visit

    This was our first trip to dwyers and it was fab from the lovely young guy who greeted us to the really friendly girls who were serving the drinks. Lovely atmosphere and more importantly yummy food. Will definitely be back again!

    Waiters there are super nice 🤗 good cocktails and food ✨ (for Amaretto Sour lovers, you can ask for it, it's not on the menu but it can be served ☀️)

  • 5/5 T D. 3 months ago on Google New
    Food was really good, I ate at a japanese spot and Iust say it was really delicious 😋🤤. Its a market place with different restaurants and kiosks ranging from people selling jewelry and chocolates, and pastries just to name a few. There were things for children to do as well. Definitely a place to visit.

    This place is loved by locals and tourists alike. Great music nightly. One of the only places in cork you can get both a perfect pint AND a spectacular cocktail. The vibes are always great. Catch me there at least once a week.

    Went in for a small snack and drink. Prices are reasonable, quiet in the day but staff all friendly. Beautiful bar and clean bathrooms

  • 5/5 Richard De La R. 8 months ago on Google
    I’ve been in Cork for less than 6 hours, and a weary traveler just wanted some comfort food and incredibly warm service. Got that and a great G&T with a tasty Irish gin, Dinkle. Enjoyed my Irish stew with a pint of Beamish, and I couldn’t ask for a better way to wind down a day of flying, connections and baggage claim. Do yourself a favor and give Dwyers a go, you would be hard pressed to find a better atmosphere, warmer staff and solid food and drink. I only gave them four stars because the great looking bread with my stew tasted great but was super dry.

    Had a lovely time with friends at Dwyers. The foods and cocktails were amazing.

  • 5/5 James M. 11 months ago on Google
    Went here for lunch a few times. The food is excellent. Service is pleasant and prompt. Ideal place for a quick lunch. Very comfortable setting with a retro look. Couldn't recommend it more highly. I'm sure it's equally good for a night of pints!

  • 4/5 Laura L. 1 year ago on Google
    I like Dwyers, has a good vibe. Can get a bit loud and busy on a weekend night alright (but then I’m getting on in my late 30’s 😂), but I like to come here mainly for their crunch offer which is 2 cocktails and any dish from their brunch menu - its 28e and their cocktails are quite good, you’d imagine they’d be watered down in a deal like that but no, can taste the alcohol alright! Enjoyed my Mother Clucker wrap with skinny fries. The only thing I would say is to make it clear to the customer that any sides that are ordered are extra to the 28e as I think it used to state this on the menu but I couldn’t see it this time and the waiter didn’t mention that they’d be extra, but I was aware from my previous times dining there. The staff are very friendly. All in all, a good spot!

    Waiting staff were courteous and pleasant but bouncers were hyper aggressive and had only blood on their mind it seems. Food was good and service was decent as whole. Bouncers spooked us with their bloodlust so can't give more than 1 star.

  • 5/5 Esa K. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice pub, good burgers and hotdogs, nice large selection of beers on tap (12+). We were there for a work event and service was excellent, even with 200+ people, drinks, appetizers and food all came out in a timely fashion. They also have live music, and the audio system definitely works very well 🙂

  • 4/5 Audrey D. 2 years ago on Google
    Great spot for after work drinks... Fab wings and cocktails... the panna cotta was divine too!!!! (Docked a star as the truffle parmesan fries had mozzarella on them! #firstworldproblem)

  • 4/5 Olivier 9 months ago on Google
    Went there for a private party. Have had a good time. Thus pub is quite huge inside actually and can accommodate many guests. They got a particular cocktail bar, only tested one cocktail which was good. However one thing to note that this night although music was good although sound via loudspeakers was (for me) too high was hard to sustain an intelligible discussion.

  • 2/5 Jennifer Andrea W. 2 years ago on Google
    Worst strawberry daiquiri I've ever seen. They put two measures of strawberry syrup, one of spirit and then they filled the glass with champagne as they run short on the mix. Giving 2 starts just because the music was really nice 🙄

  • 5/5 Christine M. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely loved this pub. The food was superb and the live music turned it into a lovely evening . The staff also really go out of their way to look after you.

  • 5/5 jen L. 1 year ago on Google
    Classic Irish bar with live music and cool decoration. The band that they invited usually is good quality not only standard “live music” . Also, there re some promotion deals of the cocktails sometimes. Nice place to bring your friend to celebrate birthday or introduce local cork bar to your friends from outside of Cork.
