Lovely Local Lagerhouse!…read more As a student, I tend to eat, drink, and essentially live quite frugally. While exploring the city of Cork during my first week in the country, my friends and I popped into close-by Preachers, whose outdoor boards boast of 3 euro daily pint deals. My night was made complete when I realized they serve Hoegaarden - one of my favorite intoxicants! Furthermore, they offer it in full pint glasses, a feature that I had yet to experience the wonders of. My friends and I had a great time sitting and standing by the bar, although after further visits, I've noticed that the place can get a bit too crowded. However, the regular bartenders are wonderful to chat with, and close quarters can always make for new and unexpected friends! Essentially, Preachers is a fantastic bar - great beers on tap, rockin' music, and good company!

I was in town on business, after having a great dinner at Soho, my co-worker and I were walking…read moreback to the B&B. We came across a few students of UCC, standing outside this small bar, Preachers. So a conversation was started, and as is the usual Irish custom....we were invited to share a pint or two over the talk. Into Preachers we went. If you are claustrophobic, you don't want to visit Preachers. It will be packed (this was a Wednesday night). But as for the students and the bar? It was GREAT! The Guinness was flowing, and so we had a few (we each had to buy a round of course). I'll have to admit, I normally don't do things like what happened here, and maybe it was the beer talking, but it was a whole lot of fun meeting those 5 students from UCC and talking. I'm not sure how much the drinks cost, because my co-worker "bought" my round....so I never paid for any of the 5 beers we had each. I'd have to guess it was around 3-4 Euro per. If you're in Cork, stop by Preachers for a pint. It's full of locals and the best way to travel is "being a local".

This is the perfect place for a summers day. Theres a massive beer garden to the side which is…read moreperfectly safe for children. The pub is situated by the water side and the location is beautiful. During the summer weekends there are bbq's and live music to keep you entertained and food is served all day. The menu is quite big and a tad expensive for what you get but the location is fantastic.

Sure look, it's a town nightclub, so it's not going to be a five star place. It's kept reasonably…read moreclean, and it's grand. It's quite small though, and it can often be a tenner to get in-- which is more than I've paid for far better nightclubs in Dublin or other cities! Very limited bar here, just spirits and really a set 10 drinks that you can get, plus a few shots. The music is pretty typical for a place like this-- the DJs tend to stick to their own taste instead of playing the crowd pleasing music, aside from the top 10 of course. I've been here more times than I care to admit but it's really not for my age group anymore. It's really just the 18-20 (dare I say 17-19? That would be more realistic...) age group that will maybe enjoy here. On the bigger nights it's great for a bit of a Mallow town reunion, you see faces you haven't seen since they left for college/London/Australia or whatever and it can be great fun, but I think I've pretty much outgrown the place.

Staff are really good too, they are friendly but not overbearing and are knowledgeable about their drinks giving me a great recommendation on some new spirits.

Staff are great very respectful and will help you as much as possible, same goes for their friendly door staff. Definitely making it me regular

Kelly S. and I were a little taken aback by the quick response, "Why?" In short, it was a place for douchebags, The kind guy explicitly told us not to go to Reardens and what do we do? We go to Reardens... Partially because no other bars were really crowded after dinner and partially because we were simply curious. Surprise surprise, our waiter was right. Reardens reminds me of my old college dives. Dirty, loud, and yes, full of men who all behave as if they belong in a rowdy fraternity. My ass was slapped at least 3 times while walking to and from the bar. Beer was spilled frequently in beat with the Top 40 music spun by the DJ. If this is what you're looking for, come get it. That scene lost its appeal for me years ago.

We saw a "no phone rule" on the door and liked the idea and everyone inside took it seriously which created tons of new friendships and interesting conversations with people of all ages and backgrounds. Apparently it is more touristy during the day, but at night it's all the locals. Everyone was incredibly welcoming and friendly to me and my 3 American friends who walked in. We loved it so much we stayed until the very end. Jolene was the most friendly bartender I've ever had and everyone at the bar took turns choosing a song to play which enhanced the community feel. Next time I go back to Cork I'll be back for sure!
