Unless of course he is on the spectrum, in which case I forgive his lack of social skills. He seemed less than thrilled to have two middle-aged American women in the pub tonight. No worries, we struck up a conversation with a local, Luiga(sp?). It's a cool place. And I suppose if it were a weekend, it would be great. But tonight, well it was unfriendly and not very welcoming. Too bad because most of the rest of Ireland has been pretty nice.

5 stars for the memories alone. Cyrus Avenue has been doing it longer than anywhere in Cork. Odds…read moreare that most Cork people's first gig was here. There are generally three types of gigs you'll go to here: 1. That band you love in college but are a bit embarrassed by years later. 2.

As a venue it's nothing special, but they've always put the effort in to their bookings. An institution.

The staff also mistakenly thought we ordered 2 orders of the wings, but gladly took it back (and off our bill) when we cleared up the mishap. Didn't get to try their "famous" burgers, but looking around the restaurant, the burgers looked very good too.

The place was still hopping when we left at 10 pm.

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.

Rosie's is definitely the place to go for live music on the weekends! The bar is a traditional Irish bar in the front, and a music venue in the back room. There's also a cool beer garden out the back door. It's definitely cozy, but that adds to its charm. The staff is super friendly. I've seen the local cover band Loose Change a couple times, and they are excellent. If you are in the area, and want a taste of true Irish craic, visit this place on a Friday or Saturday night when there's live music on! You won't regret it.

The service is johnny on the spot and the bartenders are welcoming with humorous slogans and stories. There's plenty of room inside the front of the restaurant as well as all along the sides and the back. The further back you go the less you want to know of the front. It's kind of cozy and sweet. So, come on out the next time you're in Blarney, County Cork. It's a lovely town, and inside is so colorful with songs, stories, decor and all sorts of delicious foods and libations. It couldn't be any more friendly here. So, come over and enjoy yourself but don't mind yourself...not here. Chris McGrath was the entertainment and with a lovely voice and an inviting soul. Mel
