The stew was superb,it had plenty of lamb and nicely cut pieces of potato and root vegetables. This was the best stew by far after having stew twice while in Dublin. The fish was good but not the best I've had and the chips were a little lukewarm. Once at the bar we enjoyed some drinks and stayed for the live music until closing. Also, Michael gave us some great recommendations for places to go in Cork. Glad we found this pub and I'd recommend it to travelers.

The food was delicious and the service was decent - could tell they were not expecting a huge rush from the cruise coming in as even the owner was out there delivering food.

The staff are nice, the drinks are reasonably priced and they serve DELICIOUS food! It is not the biggest place and at weekends it can get a bit too packed as it is so popular but during the week with a group of friends this place is alot of fun!!!!! The age group varies from early 20's to mid 40's and the dress can range from dressy jeans to full on glad rags obviously depending on the night! I would recommend this place for the yummy food alone. It is located just across the street from the South mall so not that hard to find. This is not a nightclub so dont go here if you want to dance but if it is a good night with food and drink you are after this is a pretty good spot!

Small pork pie's pastry had some slightly overburnt and had spots, but it was crispy overall. The filling was seasoned nicely, but could use a bit more gravy or juice. The blackberry sundae with ice cream was nicely done, silky texture ice cream, sundae was rich in blackberry flavor. Other elements provide a diversity of mouthfeel, but I felt some of them were a bit of nuisance as their textures sometimes did not feel harmonized together.
