Sam was our waitress/bartender, and soon after another, Sam joined her of the male variety which he will not be pictured here. They are TVs showing traditional games and plenty of seating at the bar as well as outside of the bar. The restrooms are typical of the pubs, very small with tiny sinks, so be prepared. I would consider this another traditional pub, with a twist of Americano and European . I can certainly understand that they would be busy on popular nights if not most nights, and the ambience would be loud but expect greatness from this place

I was finishing up a call with friends I was giving directions to and it was cold outside. I wouldn't mind but I was in the pub for less than 5 seconds! I'm not a child, I'm 44 years old. I was popping in for a pint with friends not to talk on the phone. Couldn't believe how I was treated. I've never had that happen anywhere in any country I've been. I love Ireland and I really loved Cobh, but the rude old boy behind the bar left a bad taste.

The bar is fairly small with most of the tables for 2-4 people so it's probably not well suited for big groups. If you have a choice, grab the table by the window -- you can listen to the music and watch people stroll by outside. There's a selection of 6 beers on tap, plus bottles, liquor and even a few wine choices. What more could you want?

Mostly burgers named after famous Waterford hurlers. (I can only imagine the late night drinking session arguing whether John Mullane resembled a bacon and cheese burger or Brick Walsh sounded like a Brie man) Anyway, the burgers were pretty good, service was excellent and they were even able to magic up a couple of decent cocktails not on their menu. We'll be back.

This place rocks. I love Blackbird of Ballycotton…read more We were here for a post wedding party and it was the perfect venue. Upon entering I was impressed by the somewhat typical Irish pubness of the bar, but yet it had a cool style all of its own that sets it apart from all other Irish pubs. Venturing further back, we had the back room reserved off to the left, but more on that later. It was out to the coolest beer garden in County Cork, nay in Ireland. It's on two level, the back wall made up of the shell of an older building. Picnic tables a plenty, because the beer garden also has a food truck. A most excellent food truck called The Field Kitchen. We had stuffed mussels and fish n chips. Both excellent. Later as the night drew in we retreated to our reserved room, which had a handy window into the bar and wood burner in the corner. We revelled the rest of the night away, retailing each other of the great wedding the night before. It was a great weekend, which was enhanced ten fold by our party in Blackbird.
