Stopped by for drinks and Rory came by and recommended a whiskey flight. For someone who enjoys whiskey we had two whiskey flights (6) total whiskeys and we did not like any of them and specifically told Rory what we liked and were disappointed. If you like a specific whiskey don't waste your time or money on a whiskey flight. read more

Definitely a more local spot but nice and upscale feeling, we came in for a nightcap. They have a huge whiskey selection but we both went with beer. They have the local beers like Beamish and Murphys and we tried both- both crisp. Service semi quick but not super attentive. read more

Lovely bar in Victorian section of town -- we just happened upon it and walked in for a pint or three. Lots of rare and fine whiskeys if you are into that. Bartender was very friendly and gave us a great tip for the best seafood restaurant in town -- Goldies (he wasn't wrong!). Poured us some nice draft beer and we did an Irish Stout taste test including the local Cork one -- Beamish. A bit strong tasting for me -- so Guinness was the winner. Surprised it only has 4.2% alcohol. Place is close to two amazing Irish Pubs with free live music -- so drop in here on the way! read more

This pub and people changed my life. Great service, amazing regulars. When in Cork, go to the Shelbourne for a lovely welcome and pint.

Great local pub, with friendly staff and great selection of beers and whiskey. Definitely a local pub where you can tell everyone knows everyone. Great experience. Would have spent more time here if I'd found it earlier in our trip. Highly recommend! read more

The Shelbourne Bar - Green Spot aged in Chateau Montelena barrels, can't be bested!! - Bars Near Me - Cork, Colorado

The bartenders and patrons make this bar truly special. I had an amazing time talking to everyone and learning about the beautiful city and hearing their thoughts on various topics. I believe that to truly get to know the culture, you talk to people. There's no better place to talk to people than over a pint. The bar itself is beautiful with very clean bathrooms and the prices for pints of beer were reasonable. I also found it very convenient being located right across the street from the hotel I was staying at. If you want to have a few drinks with stellar service and awesome characters at the bar who will surely engage you in insightful conversation, definitely stop in!! read more

Great spot. Friendly Bar Men, cosy atmosphere, lovely pints. MaCurtain street is hopping these days. Ask the Bar Man for the convoluted WiFi code. read more

The whiskey selection lured us in, but we stayed for the friendly service and patrons. The smoking area outside is also plus, even on a rainy night, it felt cosy enough. The interior of the pub is marked by a big central island bar, which probably helps with the good-humored and warm ambiance of the place. Even though we didn't order any food, I thought the signs advertising the chipper right across the street were pretty cool, you can basically order food in. When I visit Cork again, I'll make sure to make a stop here :) read more

Fab pub! The people here are friendly and up for a bit of craic. If you remember the show "Cheers", that's what I thought of in this bar. A woman next to me hugged the girls she was talking to as they left. I walked in by myself and got introduced to everyone. Bartenders and patrons were all one big family, and I was welcomed right in. If you feel like having a bite to eat, you can hop across the road to the chipper that will deliver right to the bar. Best fish and chips I've had yet and don't even get me started on the mushy peas... read more

What a cool place. The drinks were great and the bartender was kind and informative, walking us through all the whiskeys

Was an enjoyable place for the first two nights. No problem until tonight.... was waiting on service for a while at 10:45pm made signal for another beer got ignored? ... made it clear I wanted to order. When I asked for a drink After waiting was told bar was closed after waiting 15 mins to get served .. but the disappointing thing was seeing someone getting served ...what did we do wrong??? will I be going back now probably not out of principle. Rude. read more

Loved this place! Discovered it on first night in Cork and had a great time here. Cosy pub with a good range of beers/whiskeys/cocktails. Staff so friendly and good fun and were chatting to us all night and making us feel welcome in the city. Have a discount for if staying in Sheilas hostel as well which made it a cheapish night! Ended up here again next day for rugby, which had great craic! read more

The Shelbourne Bar - Bars Near Me - Cork, Colorado

Really amazing pub that caters in food from across the street that was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! We got a pizza and a pasta and they both way exceeded our expectations. The bartenders there were so kind and told us many things that we needed to do while in Cork. They had great service and a great ambiance. read more

Great bar with an amazing whiskey selection. Good spot to watch the sports with a pint in hand. Can't fault it.

THE SHELBOURNE The Shelbourne Bar in McCurtain is one popular venue, the crowd usually spilling out onto the footpath. But it was relatively unpopulated on Saturday afternoon when I called for refreshment after watching the Lee Swim. Quite an amount of bottled beer from abroad available but went for a pint of Carlsberg. It was cold and beautiful, the most welcome drink ever, after the heat of the streets. The pint and a half cost €6.80, a full fifty cent dearer than my suburban local. But that extra didn't take from the pleasure. Service is fine and the seating is comfortable. The stone and tile floor was also quite cool and the Gaelic football game on the telly did nothing to raise the temperature either. Things began to look up with the arrival of what looked like a Scottish stag party. I had been looking at a couple of old photos on the wall and the lady in black and white bore quite a resemblance to Gordon Strachan. Could have been his grandmother. read more

Decent beer selection and ok prices but only food is for 1/2 price take-away pizzas from another place. The environment itself is nice, very large particularly for Ireland, great booths and chairs, large TV in front and nice outside area. I'd run across the street to the fish & chips place for some food and eat outside for a nice combination. if just looking for relaxing pint this is great stop. read more

Any person can pour a beer and make a drink. What makes a good pub is its warmth and atmosphere. Though there was but a few souls here last night this is a pub that is warm happy and pleasant. The fireplace was hot and fierce and Colin the bartender and the people who were there were as nice and friendly as it gets! read more
