Voted Cork’s Best Beer Garden – Cork Beo, May 2025
We’re absolutely chuffed to share that we were voted Cork’s Best Beer Garden by the public on Cork Beo in May 2025—and we’ve been working hard to live up to the title. Huge thank you to everyone who voted!
Our beer garden is looking better than ever with a few exciting upgrades, including:
- A brand-new raised area to make the most of the space and give even more room to chill out.
- Stylish new tiling underfoot for a cleaner, brighter feel.
- Flowers everywhere adding colour, charm and that unmistakable summer buzz to the whole garden.
We’ve also added extra greenery, comfier seating, and a few subtle design touches to keep the space feeling relaxed, welcoming, and full of character.
So whether you’re a local legend or just passing through, come and enjoy one of Cork’s most unique outdoor spaces. Raise a glass, grab a slice, and make the most of the sunshine at the Franciscan Well.
