We came here while waiting for a table at Gallagher's Bar. It's a beautiful bar, on par with the…read morefancy cocktails that I've seen in New York. The interior of the bar has upscale booths across from the bar as well as a larger room that can fit larger groups of people. The bar is known for its wines, but to me, it also had some super delicious cocktails. I got a gin and tonic with UK/British ingredients: Kinsale gin and elderflower tonic. DELICIOUS. We also ordered the charcuterie plate, which was filled with delicious meats and dried fruit. The only area of improvement would be the consistency and speed at preparing the drinks. Since we were waiting for a table at Gallagher's, we only had about 30 minutes at the restaurant. However, either due to an inconsistent kitchen or too much care with the food, the drinks and food took quite a while to get out and delayed us from getting to our table by about 20 minutes. Still, I do think this is a good bar to stop by and would do it again!

There's a front bar where you can grab food, there's a back bar with a smoking area that sometimes has a DJ, and an upstairs that feels more like a proper cocktail bar - and probably more areas I've yet to explore. The food smelled delicious and I would've totally tried it had I not eaten before. I explored around a bit and ultimately hung out upstairs at the bar. The bartender that night was so friendly! We talked about everything from art to travel to politics. She was the best and made a mean cocktail. Not to mention, the entire place is decorated fantastically. It used to be an old pharmacy and ties in a lot of that history into the decor, including a bar made of old pharmacy ledgers. You could spend so much time just looking around at all the details and exploring each room. I hear it gets pretty lively here on weekends, especially with the college kids, but this particular Monday night was fairly quiet. I would definitely return if I'm ever in Cork again!

The second night I had an appetizer of seafood chowder and the John Dory fish. The cheese cake was unique, , very satisfying taste of cocoa, and the crunchy and gritty texture really felt like Ferrero Roche. For the other dishes I found something interesting. The prawns and crab sandwiches tasted standard, but the oily sauce (prawns) and the sweet and sour puree (crab sandwiches) had exquisite flavor that made one want to finish them all with a piece of bread (which I did). On the other hand, the John Dory was nicely done, texture spot-on, juicy and savoy flavor, but the white sauce looked broken and watery, and the taste was a bit on the bland side. In general I enjoyed my experience, but I wonder if they could match the quality of the sauce and the main ingredients better :)
