Great brewery with a good beer selection. I loved the outdoor space and they had a pizza spot that looked good. We didn’t get food though.

Fabulous beer brewed on the premises, wonderful pizza cooked from scratch.
This bar is amazing. Delicious beer brewed on the premises, husband loved the fruity IPA. Staff are just lovely and so welcoming, and there is a wonderful beer garden with fabulous pizza made in a proper oven. So good! Just the best bar we found in Cork. And traditional Irish music on a Tuesday too! We loved it. Thanks so much for an amazing night, lovely peeps! X
