They have minimal merchandise but the beers were really good!

Indoors is a little to dark and depressing for me, but they make up for it with their spacious outdoor seating that also hosts a lovely pizza place. (It does get crowded out there after 6pm, but well worth it if you can come early and snag a seat.) They have jazz nights and live music, which if you're not a hermit like me can be really enjoyable. I believe the upstairs even has storytelling and comedy. Its a nice little gem a that's not to squashed in the main city center. Definitely always a solid choice. Bathrooms are a little meh though.

Went in here after a long day's work for a quick dinner, and was pleasantly surprised by the great beer and food. Elbow Lane lager: an easily drinkable lager with good sweetness and a bit of hoppy taste. Sweet and spicy pork belly: grilled to perfection, crispy lean fiber and soft melting fat part. I would personally love more sweet flavor and less chilli on top, but a great appetizer overall. Grilled rack of pork ribs: grilled on order, served piping hot. Crispy surface, perfectly seasoned meat, served with rich and flavorful gravy. A great feast. Ice cream and brownie: standard. Overall, a very satisfying dinner. Will recommend this place to anyone visiting Cork.

The live theatre of the kitchen adds a fun and busy ambiance, and the staff were friendly and welcoming, and ready to explain menu and dishes and make recommendations. Drinks arrived fast, and the cocktails were clever and tasty. They have a good wine selection as well as house beers from their own brewery. But the food is jaw-dropping - the best meal we had the whole trip without doubt. I suspect anything from the menu would be delicious, but the blue cheese greens and the baby new potatoes were the perfect accompaniment to the steak. Portions are very large, so we shared everything and still couldn't finish. We happened to be there on the night there was a fire evacuation, and had just paid our bill when the alarm sounded. Full credit to the incredible team for their swift and calm reaction, evacuating the restaurant (and the sister location next door) - it's heartbreaking that they'll be closed for a few weeks, but I can't wait to return and see them open and thriving again. Evacuation aside, our meal was a such an amazing experience and the Elbow Lane team are a credit to the company and to the Irish fine dining community.

Additionally, they had soda, wine, and pizzas. The inside had some of the beer machinery on display. They had some indoor seating, a decent patio, and around (8) beers in tap to try. We got the Full Circle IPA, Devil's Helles Lager, and Casey Brothers Extra Stout. A worker also gave us a free taster of the Spailpin Saison! At a separate time, we had also tried the Golden Spear Blonde Ale. All the beers were good! The flight came with a paper that described the flavors, hops included, and information on the beer. The merchandise section was low on stock so they recommended going to the brewery/distillery for anything you wanted to buy.

We were immediately greeted and placed drink orders. I had the espresso martini. This was not your typical espresso martini it was so good and very very strong. For dinner I ordered the Guinness pie and my Friend got the seafood pie. Both were delicious but the Guinness pie was exceptional. I love to share food but did not want to share this. I wanted to savor every bite. O ate the entire pie and its was huge but so good. Couldn't pass up sticky toffee pudding and my goodness am o glad I somehow managed to find the room. One of the best desserts I've ever had so good I could've shed a tear. Can't wait to visit again.

The hour-and-fifteen-minute guided tour takes you behind the scenes of the 200-year-old facility, with stops at the grain store, mill house, and maturation warehouses. Along the way, you'll see the massive iron water wheel that once powered the mill before steam engines took over, as well as the largest pot still in the world, both impressive highlights. The tour wraps up with a tasting of three whiskeys. Ours included Jameson Original, Redbreast, and Green Spot. It's a great way to experience the range of flavors and styles Jameson has to offer. You also get a drink voucher to use at the on-site bar, which is conveniently attached to the gift shop. I'd recommend this tour not just to Jameson fans and whiskey enthusiasts, but also to history lovers and anyone interested in Irish craftsmanship. It's a well-paced, engaging experience that combines tradition, storytelling, and flavor in a beautifully preserved setting.
