Dog friendly in Cork

Evac101

Was down in Cork over the weekend and discovered the following spots which were very dog friendly:

The Friary Lodge
In Kinsale (and apparently just around the corner from somewhere called "Fishy, Fishy" which many of my friends gave out that we didn't visit while we were there), this is a lovely B&B with large rooms, friendly staff and a really extensive breakfast menu (e.g. catch of the day with smoked salmon or Baileys porridge). Were lovely to us and our 70kg of dogs (2 of).

The Roundy Bar
Just on the corner of Grand Parade and Patrick Street (just opposite McDonalds there) the staff were happy for us to chill out in the outdoor seating with our two and a friends dog.

Lastly, there was the wonderful Fionnbarra Bar where the staff graciously left us bring the dogs through to their heated, covered beer/smoking garden area and came over to pet/adore the dogs, offer us water, etc for them. Couple that with their fantastic accents (real, thick Corkonian blas!) and we were happy as clams there through about 2 hours of rain

The raven up from the roundy were always happy to let me bring my dog in! The first day I had her tied up outside while I was ordering my pint and the girl actually told me to bring her in!

Fair point however when I tried contacting many of the places which are advertised as pet friendly they seemed to have weird restrictions regarding size/nature/number of the pet(s) and quite a few of them are now out-of-business (e.g. Glencairn Inn). Just thought it would be useful for others to give personal experience recommendations
