Oliver Plunkette CPA Review

Has to have one of the most distinguished smoking areas I've been in...it's very cool, live music is always exceptional! Great Atmosphere.

Beer, Irish music and live dancing, can there be something better? I loved this place!

A great pub with some fantastic music, particularly on Sunday night.

Very good restaurant, inexpensive with astronomical quantities. To eat well at least I recommend.

Great location,friendly service,great breakfast,what's not to like! !

We had a great time. Beer was good. I ate the clam chowder. There was a music show.

Amazing pub with live music. Problem are the waiters that are NOT so friendly.

Excellent place to have fun with your friends and family

Very likely with live bands on both floors. Mix of pop and Irish music.

A lot of beer, Irish dance and music, great enterier...

Brillaint staff, brilliant service, brilliant atmosphere, and every bar should have a security guard like Tommy!!

Good food, service and music. And the last swallow of my drink, I realized there had been a 1 Euro coin in the bottom of my glass. It was funny and gross. And yes I kept it!

Thursday night... Didn't try upstairs. Downstairs was very good. The band weren't on stage but occupied the seats nearby.

Have eaten their plenty of times, especially over Christmas. Wonderful good and atmosphere. Great staff.

Horrible experience ... unfriendly and unhelpful staff, completely annoying just because we were foreigners. We had booked by talking directly to the manager and then as soon as they arrived they kicked us out of the way saying that our tables had been given to someone else. Strongly not recommended.

Food has surprised us on both visits with at least one of our dishes exceeding all expectations. The place is spacious and hasn't had a wait when going in the evening. The only ding against it is that the music can be loud if you're trying to chat with your party.

I rarely give 5 stars! The Oliver Plunkett deserves it. The only pub in Cork that plays authentic live traditional music 7 nights of the week. Music Options. For more modern music stay downstairs, for more traditional music and dancing, venture upstairs. The food was really good. A simple selection of genuine Irish dishes that are very well presented and taste amazing. You ll not be dissatisfied with a visit to The Oliver Plunkett. Make sure to include it on your Itin when you visit Cork.

A live band that played classic hits and a great selection of beer. I would absolutely go here again!

Very ice food and coffee clean and staff are very friendly

Staff wer rude and took there time to serve you would swear you asked them for a kidney when you asked for a drink the look they gave you would give it a wide birth

Good live music. Friendly service, solid Irish beer and food.

As soon as I walked in, the guy at the coffee counter yelled "we are not open for lunch" and as I turned around to explain I just wanted to sit at the bar and have a drink, he saw my camera, assumed I was a foreign tourist and yelled louder and slowly "we are not open for lunch!" Not a great way to treat a guest, but I'm seeing Cork is by far not as friendly as other places in Ireland

Bright and cheerful lots of boutique shopping opportunities

Seafood chowder was nice but could do with more seafood and less vegetables in it.
Good value at 8.50

The best pub in Cork. They are two establishments in one, each with live music

Fun place. Good beer selection. Close.to.Elbow Lane.

The best night out in Cork by far. Great choice of drink, although why you would veer from either the Murphys or the Jamesons I don't know! The real draw here is the entertainment. Superb musicians and top class Irish dancers. This is entertainment you would definitely pay good money for, but there's no need - there's no entry charge and it's all part of the experience. Prepare to tap and sing and clap - Can't recommend highly enough.

Tasty food, very fast serving, lovely place and excellent music

We went here as a pArty of six and we really enjoyed it. The food was great and the entertainment very lively. Worth the money for a good night out.

Very good pub / Irish restaurant and very nice building.

Oliver Plunkett is to Cork, what the Temple Bar to Dublin. Fascinating every day, with live music, a very varied and cosmopolitan atmosphere and a smoking area so beautiful you'll want to enter even if you do not smoke.

KEEP ON WALKING BY!!! Started off well, got the tasty seafood chowder (hence the two stars not one) Service was EXTREMELY slow and poor from here. 15 minutes waiting for the plates to be cleared and then another 20-30 minutes for our mains to come. Steak sandwich was like eating cold sawdust and the fish & chips had zero flavour, stank of frying oil and enough batter to cover 2/3 fillets. Chips were obviously cooked a while beforehand and then just refried. Would not recommend at all unless you want to waste your money in a typical & traditional Irish tourist trap.

Great staff arrive early if your having food it fills quick

Great music for the jazz festival plus music all year round

Super place. Great crowd, excellent staff. I was very impressed.

A spacious two-story bar where live music can be enjoyed in the evenings.

Bar on 2 floors with lots of live entertainment, band, singer and Irish dancing. For smokers there is a spacious smoke room on the floor and super nice with a beautiful decoration.

Food was fine (tasty, generous serves) but service was impatient and not very friendly or welcoming. On recommendation of the hostess, we went upstairs for the traditional music and dancing with set menu (good options), only to be informed after ordering that our entrees and mains needed to come together as the kitchen was going to close (we waited ages to order and could/should have been told this while ordering as it would have influenced our choices).

Very nice and big pub on two floors, live music played on both, rock on the ground floor and Irish traditional on the 1st floor, loads of people and nice atmosphere, and very big smoking area witch has its own bar(loved it). Good place to go out and have some fun and enjoy the evening or come for some meal at day time(don't know do they serve food in evening hours). Definitely recommending if you are in Cork.

Pub is lively with a live band on Sundays. Staff not particularly friendly behind the bar. Also was sat at a table with full drinks and got asked to leave the table so people could sit down to order food. No mention of trying to get us different seats or any thanks. As a paying customer with a full drink I felt this was very rude

Visited here today with my mom, I had the vegetarian meal and mom had the fish and chips, decent plate of food, tasty, well worth the visit, will definitely come here again.

Amazing place with great food. And not all that expensive!

Live concerts everyday.
An amazing place to hang out with friends.

Lovely bar with nice and cosy sitting beside fireplace if you want!
