    I'm heading down to your fine city for the June Bank Holiday and I'm looking for recommendations for good places to go to A)eat out and B) go out at night to i.e. pubs and clubs.

    I've never been in Cork before so I haven't the first clue of decent places. I'm staying at the Imperial but I'd take a taxi further afield if need be...

    Cheers :)

    Restaurant: Hardwood
    Bar: Bierhaus (next door to Hardwood)
    Nightclub: Havana Browns

    This contains all your essentials for a good night: good food, good beer and loads of women.

    Your hotel is the most central hotel (that isn't crap) in the city.

    Thanks for that... Although I am a girl myself so the 'loads of women' thing doesn't really count :D;)

    Soho for food and beer
    Havanas for later

    Or else try the Bodega if it is open by then

    We're a couple in our mid 20's.. Into chart/dance music and we're open minded about the food, once it's nice and not astronomically priced we're not fussy..

    Kick off in Il Pradino for a nice Italian.
    Head to Rob Roy for pint to digest the meal.
    Head down to Chambers on Washington street.
    If you have to go dancing you could go to the evil Havana's!

    I'm mid 30's so don't have a clue though:D

    Mangans?? Do NOT go there.

    A glamorised halting site.

    I'd recommend headin to aroma if u want chinese or il padrino for italian.

    Then for a pub head to the bailey or chambers.

    Classic for night club or else havanas.

    I'm 20 so my choices could be different to yers.

    you could goto captain americas resturant on north main street, they then have a bar upstairs called soho, which i think is a pretty cool spot

    chambers would be another good spot for a pub, its on washington street, not too far from north main street

    and for a club i would say the classic on north main street


    i dunno why everyone thinks havanas is great, its an alrite spot granted, but their music is just shocking, all u can hear going on is massive sub woofer and base THUDS

    Did they leave them on their seats whilst dancing/at the bar? It's not just the palce, you don't leave your bag down/out of your site ever.

    steady on there, magnans IS known by any normal person of in and around twenty years old, that it attracts masses of knackers from all walks of life

    there must be a reason why on duty police are stationed inside of the place... :pac:

    keep away from mangans, whatever you do, keep away from mangans

    its tripe. and it clientel are less than desirable

    I can't wait to go clubbing and not have a coat and just a tank or summery dress :D

    I'm not from Cork either *technically* :p I dunno, you get used to it! It's rubbing off on me!

    I always lose my bloody coat ticket as well! It always falls outta my clutch when I'm at the bar! I used to work in a club *briefly* and I know how awful it is on the other end, cause even if you remember them wearing that coat they can describe perfectly, club policy is that they usually have to wait just in case we give it too the wrong person :(
