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 first floor is where they do the music and it's pretty small, so if you come for the music I would come early to snag a seat. The beer is also very good.

Anyway back to the food! The steak sandwich is out of the world and the peppercorn sauce goes so well with it! The seafood chowder is super filling and fresh and whenever I've taken it home (for me it can be hard to finish) the staff has been kind enough to write a consume by time on the box. The chicken burger is another show stopper as well. I also think this place has the best bramble in Cork! The bathrooms are a little bit of a hike away with multiple stairs to conquer, but well worth it for this place!
