Cozy restaurant feel with a great history posted on the walls throughout the restaurant. We had the cod and plaice and it was unbelievable.

The food is divine...the seafood is spot on and the servings would put American portions to shame. The menu never (and I mean NEVER...in the 10 or so years that I've been going there) changes, meaning that it's not necessarily one of those places you could go often, but my God when you do! If you're there in any way regularly, for drinks or dinner, Dinty Collins himself will remember you and gruffly acknowledge your presence. Even cooler...if you've seen the epic movie that was 'War of the Buttons', then it's outside Dinty's that the boys were embarrassed in front of the whole village. Pretty cool hey?!

Perhaps the best thing about the Corner Bar -- just up from the West Cork Hotel -- is the trad music session Monday nights. The best place to spend a Monday night or for a quiet pint at other times.

The walk from the dock to the hotel was quick and lovely with beautiful views around along the way. This is a very comfortable establishment, ready for anything: lots of picnic tables outside, boat dock, inside pub area.

Just a wonderful old hotel in some parts and absolutely convenient in others. Re food: fish and chips are delicious, catch of the day was sea bass (delicious!). Also, love the freezer of ice creams available! I was very happy with my delicious dinner and thrilled with the experience.

Rosie's is definitely the place to go for live music on the weekends! The bar is a traditional Irish bar in the front, and a music venue in the back room. There's also a cool beer garden out the back door. It's definitely cozy, but that adds to its charm. The staff is super friendly. I've seen the local cover band Loose Change a couple times, and they are excellent. If you are in the area, and want a taste of true Irish craic, visit this place on a Friday or Saturday night when there's live music on! You won't regret it.
