Been coming here for a while now, and the fish and chips never let me down. Cod&#39;s always flaky, batter stays crisp without being greasy. Kids&#39; meal deal is decent too, keeps the little ones happy without breaking the bank. Portions are fair for what you pay. Not the cheapest spot in town, but you get what you pay for.

The tasting menu was lovely &mdash; the cod in champagne cream sauce really stood out. Duck was great too. Only thing is the room felt a bit cramped, but the food made up for it.

The tandoori chicken special with Indian fried rice was a decent feed for the price. Portion was fair, didn&#39;t leave hungry. Service was quick enough too.

Stopped in for a late lunch and went straight for the fish and chips. Massive portions, the batter was properly crispy and the fish was flaky. Mussels were fresh too, no complaints there. Place was busy but we got a table quick enough. Wouldn&#39;t mind going back to try more of the menu.

Stopped in for a quick drink and ended up staying longer than planned. The bar itself has a proper old-school feel, wooden stools and all. Service was friendly without hovering. Just a decent spot to sit with a pint and not be rushed.

Loved watching the chefs at the open kitchen while we waited. Wood-fired pizza was solid, though the place got a bit loud by the end. Staff were friendly enough without hovering.

The falafel bowl and flatbread were both really tasty, loved how fresh the veggies were. Great spot for a lighter meal with friends, though it did get a bit busy.

Came back here again last week&mdash;still my go-to spot for a proper pint. Guinness was spot on, and the live music had the whole place singing. Staff remembered me too, which never hurts.

Handled our group of 10 no bother, even with kids and a coeliac. Butter chicken was the standout. Service kept up the whole night.

Stumbled on this place walking through town. Pizza was solid, fish and chips was the best I had all trip. Staff knew their stuff, even pointed us to a few spots worth seeing.

Been coming here for a while now and the steak sandwich keeps me coming back. Thick slices of beef, proper gravy, and that portobello mushroom on top just works. Loaded fries are decent too but the sandwich is the one I always order. Still as good as the first time I had it.

The trad music and general buzz in here made it feel like a proper Irish pub. Guinness was poured well and the spice bag had a decent kick. Seats near the window were a bit tight though.

Came here with a few friends last week and honestly the chicken and burgers were spot on. Chips let it down a bit though, some were a bit sad and chewy, like they&#39;d been refried. Fresh ones would make such a difference. Still, decent spot for a catch-up, wouldn&#39;t say no to going back. 😊

Chicken was proper good, staff sound. Retro decor gives it a bit of character. Price was fair for what you get. Solid enough spot for a feed.

The seafood risotto was the standout&mdash;prawns, mussels, and monkfish all cooked properly. Rich base, not too heavy. Cocktails were decent too. One of the better spots around for that dish.

Grabbed bar seats without a booking and the corned beef was proper tender. Staff were sound to chat with too. Decent feed in Cork.
