What a great fun pub that is full of Character. I had the full Irish breakfast and it was great value for money. It even offers free wifi and has a large screen for events. If in the area of getting of the boats and would like an authentic local taste of Ireland. I would highly recommend taken a little time out of your journey and visiting here. It has a great selection of food and beers, a little shop next to it and a large beer garden with plenty of seating. The staff are friendly, service is fast and it's great to see a pub still open in Cork like this with such fair prices and value.

Friendly staffAtmosphere
Stopped for lunch before boarding the ferry. Lovely lunch food excellent as always staff super friendly. Highly recommend.
Had lunch here on a very busy day, the place was filled with French (motor) bikers and so I wasn't expecting service to be so prompt.
Great atmosphere, good food and service...sad that this is the last pub in the village but hopefully it can keep going for many years yet!
