Entry is all very well managed and you then go through a crude courtyard where all the smokers are penned in. On entry the place was full but comfortable to move around in. Decor is Devil based and very well done. 4 bars and 2 dance floors so getting drink and a space for a boogie is no problem (not that dancing is my thing!). My kind of music, more dance remix than main stream. Seems to be the only decent club for miles around and have regular Big DJ's and promote also on the national Irish radio. Overall I'd go back.

They practice social distancing and covid protocols. Vaccine cards are checked at the door. We sat at a table rather than at the bar and had great service. Our server was coming to the table faster than we could even keep up with drinking the drinks! Pricing is reasonable & the offer touchless payment where the server brings a handheld payment machine to the table and you just tap your card to that. Voodoo rooms also played good music. Great place to grab a drink & catch a vibe!

I often get into there but when there's that one manager on I can never get in. shame on voodoo absolute shit show of a night club !!

My friends and I were excited to visit this only gay bar in town on a Sunday night September 17th…read more It was CLOSED. I do understand a bar sometimes are closed but please leave an auto voicemail saying it's closed .

Unsatisfactory experience…read more I had never been in this bar before but I was feeling rather curious about trying it. Firstly let me just say, none of the girls in there seemed to want anything to do with me, I was honestly a bit taken aback. Especially considering any other day of the week, I'm straight slaying pussy. Guess they must've been gay or something! Jokes aside, it must've been about 1am and I was really starting to get some strange vibes from a lot of the guys in there. Now I'm naturally a pretty non confrontational guy so I was awfully surprised just how many dudes wanted to fight me. Every single one of them had this sly smirk on their face when they were talking to me, as if I'm zero threat to their well being. If only they knew I train in kickboxing and could've absolutely obliterated their head with a single head kick if they made a single move on me. I guess it could've just been bad luck because my 2 gay friends were having a blast.

I'm having a hard time making a call for Havana's because each floor seems to be a different venue…read moreand I'd mark them each with a different rating. The regular Havana's floor is a bit of a nightmare, typical ancient nightclub in Cork and can draw a bit of a rough crowd. That one gets no more than a two star. On the other hand the two floors above that are completely different in vibe and music and everything. The middle part is the Hidden Attic and it's a bit hipster and the vibe is a little dull. Great place to sit around with a drink and still listen to the same kind of music that's playing in the other two floors without the pressure to be up and dancing, but I'd prefer a quiet pub if you're not going to dance. Then the third floor is the golden egg, the Secret Garden. It's a super cool venue, part beer garden, part old fashioned sitting room. The key night is a Monday-- very studenty but a great vibe. It's not massive and it gets a bit rowdy on the dancefloor by the end of the night-- plus the bar is always three deep at least. However the music is by far the best I've ever heard in Cork, total mix of oldies stuff, hip-hop and the decent chart stuff- no ridiculously long dance intros and no cutting the songs off before the best part. I had an absolutely brilliant night here. So I'm giving a three star for the overall venue but definitely check out Secret Garden for their Monday nights.

If you're into cheese (not of the Swiss variety), you might be all over this place like a rash. Just tisn't for me...!!! Tip for the wise: lots of shots will get you through. I saw they're starting Casino & Cocktails Night on a Friday though - hate to say it, but sounds kinda fun...!

I will never eat at or visit any of the restaurants associated to Soho. I've visited this…read morerestaurant earlier this week with almost a dozen of my staff members. During dinner, we noticed a confederate flag had been drawn on the daily menu board to support Cajun wings. There was even a suggestion to like the photo or share it on Facebook and Instagram which is horrible. Everyone in my party was absolutely disgusted and became uncomfortable and wanted to leave. I asked for the manager and told her how inappropriate it was to have a flag that in the United States is parallel to a swastika on their board. She apologized and stated that it was the general managers idea and they had received several complaints that day. Seeing something of this nature is a bad look for Cork and Ireland. The fact that the general manager thought this was OK is very clear that the general manager probably shouldn't have a job there. SoHo, you can do better and so can the city of Cork.

Sure look, it's a town nightclub, so it's not going to be a five star place. It's kept reasonably…read moreclean, and it's grand. It's quite small though, and it can often be a tenner to get in-- which is more than I've paid for far better nightclubs in Dublin or other cities! Very limited bar here, just spirits and really a set 10 drinks that you can get, plus a few shots. The music is pretty typical for a place like this-- the DJs tend to stick to their own taste instead of playing the crowd pleasing music, aside from the top 10 of course. I've been here more times than I care to admit but it's really not for my age group anymore. It's really just the 18-20 (dare I say 17-19? That would be more realistic...) age group that will maybe enjoy here. On the bigger nights it's great for a bit of a Mallow town reunion, you see faces you haven't seen since they left for college/London/Australia or whatever and it can be great fun, but I think I've pretty much outgrown the place.
