Soho got the ribeye just right. Pro bartenders; great drink selections. Comfy seating; sports bar, but not too loud on the volume. Soho's an all-around good time for a Saturday evening in Cork, Ireland. read more

I will never eat at or visit any of the restaurants associated to Soho. I've visited this restaurant 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. read more

My party of 14 was shown to a nice table upstairs. As we arrived in small groups, some ventured to the bar and returned. We had a nice pre-meal gathering...and we enjoyed our company and conversation throughout the evening. Unfortunately, few enjoyed their food and nobody enjoyed the service. The comments on the taste of the food ranged from practically "inedible" to "OK, but not good." Those happiest with their food had ordered burgers. It took over 30 minutes from the first of our party to be served until the last. That's way too long. The people who were served first were done before the last 2 or 3 were even served. It might have been an off night? Nevertheless, I won't be back and I can't recommend this restaurant. You can do much better. read more

Food was good. I ordered a prime cut steak on rock which means I cooked my own steak at the table. I kind of wished I had just let them cook for me, but it was still delicious. The beer is good but they do not give large glasses to people who look younger. (I am 19 so it is legal for me to drink here. I ordered the same thing as my mom and yet they gave me a wine glass full of beer instead of the traditional pint...?) good atmosphere and staff was friendly. read more

if you come out on Monday nights just be prepared to wait 1 hour before you sing your first song for karaoke nights! The DJ is very crappy and unfortunately he does not understand the flow of people into the establishment. You maybe the first person in the establishment but you will be the 5th singing your song and any after 9th just FYI read more

It's kind of dark here with a nice atmosphere. There is music and it's upbeat. The bar is really busy downstairs. Waiter, Robert, is really nice. He even changed our bottle of water so it was colder. Michelle readied our places for dinner course and I asked her about the English Market across the way. She said that to make sure she'd check and see if it was opened since it was Easter Monday. She did. My husband said he had the best Cesar Salad ever. My Katsu curry was wonderful. The Panko chicken was awesome and the curry was off to the side so you didn't have to have much if you didn't want to. It was superb. It came with a very small pinch of salad. My husband had a cheeseburger with spinach and left off the mushrooms and onions. It was great. My dessert was flourless brownie with vanilla ice cream. At first it seemed dry but with the ice cream it was delicious. The special was an entree with either appetizer or dessert for $20 and 3rd course for $25. I'm so glad we could 't get into the pub I had wanted to. Excellent food with really nice people. Be aware that you have to climb stairs to get to it. read more

When we went to Bar Soho it wasn't rocking yet because the last ten minutes of the footy was showing on the biggest screen in Munster. It was promptly rolled up and out when the game finished, and the DJ got into the act with a bit of house music. It was a nice place, and we all started with cocktails that were quite posh, but they do a lot more than just drinks. You can serve your own Guinness, and even have a nice breakfast, lunch and dinner there before it turns into a party place. There are also corporate and private rooms for hire, and live music on certain nights. read more

SOHO WHAT? SO GOOD Downtown Saturday about six. Started at Lapps Quay to see the tailend of the annual Ocean to City Rowing event. Quite a buzz, a few hundred people, bars and restaurants busy and food stalls doing a roaring trade. We had to leave the food as we were heading for the Soho Bar & Restaurant. Called into the Clarion to show my advisor the Atrium. While there, accidently met one of the management staff, a very pleasant fellow who gave us a little tour, that included the impressive Synergy Restaurant. It can seat up to 150 but which is well laid out with little semi-private areas where a couple would not feel overwhelmed by the crowd. So we said thanks very much for that and started out for SOHO. We went through Patrick Street and came across a ragged looking Eastern European band (not really sure where they were from but their literature was in Cyrillic script) playing what sounded like gypsy music. They were very active and an entertainment in themselves (they play The Roundy this Wed June 3rd) and then they were unexpectedly joined by a guy wearing his CK underpants and a ball and chain. He danced and they surrounded him as they played and we all had a laugh. The feel good experience continued in SOHO. Starters were pan seared scallops followed by Pan seared duck. Both were top class and so too was the wine, a Fleurie AC Beaujolais Cru, Gamay 2007 (by Mignot). Desserts didn't disappoint either and they were a Lemon Tart and a Sticky Toffee Pudding. There is quite a range of prices here so you can stick to a budget or go for broke. The atmosphere, the lay-out and especially the service - we had our best waitress in a long time, friendly and helpful - were all excellent. read more

Haven't ever eaten here but have the had the cocktails and enjoyed them It's close to work so popped in for lunch Very disappointed. We had to search for a server, despite being seated Now the waiter was friendly and polite so canf fault him But the food was terrible Took a long time to come Mine tasted of something I couldn't put my finger on I had a steak sandwich with tasteless meat, a soggy bun and slime mushrooms and pepper sauce that was very watery Friend also didn't like her lunch, so full of onions she couldn't taste anything else Veey disappointing and had to search for someone to pay! I can't say much else really only the food was horrid to be frank and I'm pretty easy going Have been speaking to.people since who say it was good and used be lovely but it's slipped massively in recent months Hope they pull if back.together as it's such a shame read more

Always have a great time when i come here. There are 4 levels the ones you need to know are the bar on the ground floor and the restaurant on the first floor. Lots of atmosphere and will often have bands playing on a saterday night. If you book in advance you may be able to get a table where you can pour your own beer which is always fun untill you get the bill :) Also alot of fun for sporting events as they have a big projector that shows the games at the front of the pub. Awesome pub Now I have eaten at the restaurant and I must admit i am really honestly disappointed. The service took quite a long time (It was new years eve so this will be forgiven) But when one of the girls at the table asked if she could get the Blackened chicken quesadilla without peepers he advised that they are pre made.......Not good.......and they were not nice at all to eat, they tasted microwaved and the tortilla was soggy. Then I got the fillet steak with (cold) cooked mushrooms and onions and sweet potato which no one at the table ate. The steak was of good quality and it was enjoyable except the fact that it was as thick as my fist which made it difficult to eat. I feel like I am bashing them alot but it honestly was not a good meal at all and it was very expensive (triple digits) and it made me wonder why i didn't go to captain Americas and get a much nicer meal for about 50 euros. Avoid! read more

We had just had a couple of beers at Deep South, but given they weren't serving food yet, we had openings in our tummies, and elected to venture inside of this very hip-looking establishment. And we weren't disappointed, even if the place doesn't at all connect with one's idea of what an Irish restaurant should be like - it felt something a concept restaurant in San Francisco's South of Market District (a.k.a "SOMA" - get it?). Anyway, Soho has a full menu of both food and drink - I went for the Blackened Chicken Bap with an ice tea (this in spite of anything and everything under the sun being on the drink menu, to my everlasting dismay I really didn't need any more alcohol at the time). Chicken was nice and juicy, with enough spicy to give me a kick. Chips were enough of a meal in of themselves. I also regretted not having room for dessert, as that menu was in itself pretty enticing... if we had planned our lunch a bit better that day I'm sure we would have had more. Facilities were spotless - going to the toilet was better than going at home. So while this eatery has more in common with a disco than a pub, it is certainly a more than decent option if you ever get 'cultured out' (as has been known to happen). read more

The bar is pretty good, but my view of SoHo is tarnished forever by a meal I had there. We had recently passed exams and headed out as a group to celebrate. The menu is OK but service was pretty slow. I had a grilled chicken sandwich. It was cold and bland. My friend next to me had a stir fry. It was also tasteless and she didn't finish it. They have the gimmick of the hot rocks where you can cook your own steak. Nice meat (apparently from the English Market) but doesn't really make up for the rest of the food. Desserts were disappointing. The cheesecake was good, apple spring rolls were like some kind of baby food. The bill was enormous for the quality. I felt robbed! read more

So this review is not quite a month late but I am fairly confident everything I am about to write still applies. If not, we can just chalk up my four-star rating due to the music nerd in me sharing a drink with the restaurant snob in me while The Pogues' "A Rainy Night in Soho" plays - it may be a bit apocryphal, but it was raining on the night we went to SoHo, and while that may have indirectly swayed me to the rating you see before you, this place has so much more going for it than coincidental climate and 80s music references. SoHo came recommended from our guide, and it is easy to see why. The place is located in the heart of Cork, not too far but not too close to everything else you would want to stop by (the university is a few blocks away, as an example). And the place is positively massive, with patio seating giving way to bar tables, a small venue for a band/DJ, lounge seats in the windows and even an upstairs. SoHo may be its own self-contained city within Cork, actually. We got a table right away on a Friday night in the windows, not too far from a band running through an interesting setlist of everything from Johnny Cash (yay!) to The Eagles (boo...) and even Peter Gabriel-less Genesis (...yay!). Our waitress was under attack by, I believe, six tables (both inside and out) but she could not have been nicer, more polished and efficient. A few of these reviews point out the somewhat slow service but we felt the pace was even and relaxed. Of course, it does not matter how smooth the service is if the food and drinks are forgettable, and I am glad to say SoHo has the culinary chops to just about justify the lengthy waits this place probably goes on during the later hours. We ordered a round of chicken wings and nachos to start with, and both were great precursors to the meal, buoyed by a fantastic array of bar drinks, from a strong gin and ginger ale, to a margarita and even some mixed concoction that came served in a red, working watering can - I ordered the drink in the watering can because come on now: how many times can you say you drank out of a gardening tool while your Mom looked at you questioning where it all went wrong? The entrees were good. Not great, not bad, but good. Salmon was fine, the salads were decent and my steak and cheese on ciabatta sandwich was almost too much of a challenge to finish. This is clearly a place that thrives on the bar crowd and the nightlife, so if you are coming here expecting an entree to knock your socks off, you may have to search thoroughly for it. I'm sure it is on the menu; I just did not find it. However, let's talk dessert. By now, the band had given way to a DJ spinning a pretty wide variety of tunes and the place continued to fill in. It can get loud in here but we never once found it overwhelming. You will not need to be doing sign language to one another to keep the conversation moving, which is good being that you will probably need those hands to eat what ended up being the best part of the meal: a strawberry shortbread creation that I imagine would have no trouble taking other desserts hostage in the great Baked Goods War of 2015. Really, cocktails and this dessert would make for a fabulous evening. And, incidentally, SoHo should be a place you try at least once some night. It's bustling with activity, the prices are fair, the staff are all sharp, the drinks are "out there" in the best way possible and the food is decent. Not a bad way to start, or finish, your weekend! read more

On rainy Sunday night of November I went to SoHo... One star for the doorman : From the outside, the place looks like any other pub. But then you step towards the door and a nice doorman greets you. These guys are very handsome from afar. From close, they are ever handsomer :D One star for the shop : The nice doorman opens the door and you enter. A few steps later you get to the bar. Around Christmas time, you can see lights and decorations everywhere. It gets you in a Christmas mood right away ! The armchairs are very cosy and you feel like staying forever. And you do ! One star for the ambiance : After a few Bubble Gum shooters, the place looks even nicer and life gets sparklier ! One star for the service : The waiters smile and it doesn't take long before I get my shooters. I feel happy and I will come back for sure. Too bad it's only Sunday otherwise there would be some partying tonight ! Anything else to add ? I am just rating with 4 stars because I didn't party fully. So I will wait until this is done and then I will be in proper condition (if I can say :) to review and rate to the best XD read more

The SoHo seem to be a place-to-be, but I ask myself, what for... 1. The music is always too loud. 2. The food is just average quality, the prize for it much too high. 3. In case you get the food you ordered, you waited much too long for it. 4. The staff is always on the run, you have not even finished talking to them and they are already gone. 5. There is not enough staff on weekends. That is the time a bar makes the money! 6. If you are standing at the bar, it might be that the staff behind the bar ignores you. All in all, I gave them a few chances to change my first impression and experience, instead they confirmed it. I am done with SoHo. read more

No shortage of great restaurants to check out in Cork. If you're looking for a great meal, and want some "atmosphere" with it, then SoHo is the pick. 4 levels divide this bar (1st level) with a restaurant (2nd) and function/meeting area (3rd) along with a new BBQ deck (4th). The service, and the food/drink were all excellent. read more

My fella took me there for my birthday. A bit expensive. Very Irish made food :-) taco starter very nice quite generous. I had steak (rare) and king prawns on sauté potatoes. Potatoes and steak very nice. Prawns too rubbery (grilled too long?) Spanish chips very tasty I would come back just for that! It seems that they are understaffed but it's a Wednesday night maybe they didn't expect that many? Staff very busy running around but still friendly. Great bar! read more

This is a great bar & restaurant in the centre of Cork city. It has 4 levels too it. Level one is where you get get served mid-morning coffees & pastries, lunches,and through to late-night DJ's and live bands where they perform on stage. Level two is the restaurant, all there food is fresh and tasty too. Level three is the VIP room where they provide you with full conference/IT facilities, private dining and full bar. Level four is a private barbecue deck and bar. All you need on a night out is in this one place, food, bar and music. To start the night my friends booked a cocktail making lesson on the top floor of the bar, they give you some info on cocktails, show you how to make them and best of all test one each when they are finished. There is a good disco bar on the ground floor to continue on your night. I had a great night out here, fab place to go too. read more

The food was decent, but a bit bland. The waiter we had was nice, but the overall service was slow. The manager came to our table to awkwardly tell us we couldn't swap out a salad on the early bird menu. Not a big deal, but awkward and inattentive overall. read more

In town for one night and Soho was recommended by our cabbie. We enjoyed it! Nice, fun, club-like atmosphere with a good looking menu! We had the monkfish as an app and then the meat sampler rock with Pinot noir. Very pleased! Would love to come back and try more. read more

SoHo - French toast with bacon - Bars Near Me - Cork, Colorado

Loved the steak on a stone with chive butter and gravy on the side. We split the three course meal and it was delicious and the perfect amount of food read more

FOOD and cocktails are consistently top drawer, especially the food. Love the ambience, the seating arrangements, great place for every occasion, but. It has to be said. 1. The floor staff are slow and disinterested. 2. And the girls are made to wear AWFUL uniforms. Two points that have been made about the place time and time again by everyone I know who goes there on a regular basis. Such a pity because it could be potentially the best place to eat, drink and be merry in Cork otherwise!!! read more

I have been to SoHo on several occasions. I have not been impressed. On the last visit on an early quiet afternoon after waiting for quite some time before we could catch the attention if a waiter, we asked if there was seating upstairs available. The server's response was "Which upstairs?". The place advertises having four levels. We were then guided to a table that had broken glass shards on the chair, probably from the previous night. No effort was made to remove these by the waiter. Appalling service and the food does certainly not make up for it. read more

Went of for a bit of a girlie night out beginning with a meal here. Food was lovely, staff were really friendly - the wine must have been pretty good as we got through enough of it. We didn't stay after the meal so not sure what bar is like.. read more

Fine place to eat dinner and drink. We had the Sampler Rock. They bring out a 450F polished lava rock for you to cook your own meat on. It doesn't sound so cool there, but it is. IIRC, there was lamb, duck breast, and beef tenderloin. It's served with three very tasty sauces, and two sides. Nice atmosphere, friendly service, and classy establishment. read more

I would consider SoHo one of the few cocktail bars around cork and I appreciate that aspect of the restaurant, but I went out for dinner a couple of days ago and my Cajun burger was extremely dry. It lacked flavour! My boyfriend had the mussels linguini (sorry if that name is not correct) and it literally came like a soup! I expected better from such a beautiful looking restaurant. read more

Expensive and too exclusive I felt looked down on and uncomfortable I know it's known as a high end bar I showed up in a suit after work but I still got looks from staff and regulars read more

Food was amazing. Early week menu great value for money. Cocktails however were 80% lime juice. My margarita was undrinkable. Tried the long islad iced tea and had four slices of lime crammed in and squeezed into it. read more

My first thoughts of SoHo (which were from the reviews I read online - also, as an American I might add, for better or for worse for those reading) "This place looks like a fun place to get a drink and get some good food". Even with all the 4 star reviews (how did these people give it 4 stars? Have they ever been to a restaurant/bar in their life?!) I give it an 1.0 without a question. First of all, I get in there and go straight to the bar. Thinking that: "Because this place is dead (at 7:30pm oddly), I'll be able to get a drink. WRONG. The bartender was too busy chatting with a server to come over. Finally I get a drink and grab a seat. The server takes my order rather promply (within 20 minutes), which was a nice change of pace, and then disappears. I wait for nearly 20 minutes for my Guinness and then have to flag her down and remind her. 30 minutes later she shows up with my drink and food and I finally realize - WHAT A TOURIST TRAP! The food was decent at best, which, for the huge bill, was quite underwhelming. Overall, definitely not work going to - coming from someone whose company was paying for the meal! Much better places to eat and drink at! read more

5 of us came for a dinner. Last time I was in Soho it wasn't the most pleasant experience, but we decided to give it another chance. For starter we have shared chicken wings - wings without sauce or any salt/spice. They were just fried, tasteless and too crunchy (i guess they were fried for too long, as it was just all a crisp). Then there was blue cheese sauce, usually the delight that compliments the wings. Not in this case. It looked like milk in a jar with taste. And the taste wasn't the one of cheese. We said it's okay, maybe things will improve with a steak. I'm sorry, but medium cooked steak was cooked the whole way through it wasn't even a well done steak, It was over well done. Then we also had a medium-well done steak at our table and that just looked like a piece of leather and was difficult to chew. We have ordered a cocktail to share with a partner, that looked and tasted like a washed off glass. Our waiter looked like he was annoyed by everyone, maybe chewing the gum all the time with mouth opened helped him to not hit anyone. When we came to pay, our bill for 2 people came to 93 euro and we were also ASKED by the manager to leave tips to "lovely waiting staff". To be honest, I was outraged by the whole experience. No wonder no one in this restaurant even once asked us how was our food, as they probably also knew the only thing worth eating there is chips. Would never go for food there again. It's way too overpriced, food isn't even worth paying third of the price, staff is just in their own world. Waste of time and money, just felt robbed. read more

Great place to have a bite and a drink with friends. Keep it casual in the bar or go upstairs to the restaurant . Not the cheapest but I've yet to have a bad experience there. It's clean and modern and can be a lively spot at night read more

I was going to write this review a while back as I had a bad experience in the restaurant but as it was a one off thing I decided not to bother. Then what happened last night really annoyed me. On the first occasion 2 of us went to order a large portion of the chicken wings to takeaway but the restaurant was all out of take out containers which was fair enough but we were blatantly told by the American dude at the door that there was nothing he could do for us until we suggested that he just wrap them in some tinfoil and a bag as we lived nearby, this seemed to baffle him and he actually thought we were joking when as a matter of fact he should have suggested something like that to us himself, you always accomodate your customers. Then last night we went to order a large portion of the chicken wings and a portion of the nachos, again to takeaway. It was the same American guy on the door and the first thing out of his mouth was "Oh we might be too busy to do a takeaway" which was an absolute joke but then he told us it was alright. He then turned to us and said in such a snotty tone "chicken wings I presume" (he obviously remembered the last time we had been there). It seemed like such an ordeal to him it was as if our custom wasn't wanted because we weren't sitting down to have a 4 course meal and a bottle of wine. Even though we still spent €23 in there. 2 bad experiences not sure if I'll be returning here. read more

Great place to stop off for a drink. They have a good mix of different age groups.Would recommend.

We came across this restaurant/ bar on New Years Day. There wasn't a lot of places open so we were grateful for somewhere to eat. The decor was very nightclub looking but it didn't smell like last nights party at all. The young waitress was obviously on her own and she was amazing. There was a slight wait for stuff but it was jamming so she was doing her best. We got Irish Breakfasts and tea but I noticed the presentation of other people's meals and the chef really was great and the attention to detail on the plates was impressive. I for sure recommend this restaurant based on the food and the service. read more

Every time I'm in Cork, I go by SoHo. It can be a little slow and pricey, but the staff have always been great and the food is outstanding. This time, I got the bacon cheeseburger and had them add the black pepper crust. It's not on the menu like that, but should be. It was exceptional! The beef was juicy and cooked perfectly, the black pepper worked nicely to balance the cheddar and bacon. I've had the Rocks - where they bring you raw meat and a hot rock - it's good, but kind of a gimmick. Their steaks are fantastic and cooked much better than if I try to do it myself. The bar has a huge selection of liquors and the clearly experienced bartenders can make anything. read more
