r/cork

I (reared in rural Cork) could have been thrown up a full fry with all the fixins at any time of the day and would gladly demolish it. My boyfriend, on the other hand, brought up in the city, claims that the meal should be limited to breakfast time and deems it’s absolutely preposterous that I should even dare float it as a dinner idea. He attributes this to the difference in dining habits between city and country folk. Would be curious as to what is deemed acceptable in other urban and rural Cork households. (For clarification, the only difference that would’ve existed in my house between what was dished up in the morning and the evening was the occasional inclusion of the liver in the evening.)

Amazing news!

I will be in Bandon for 3 days later this month. Will want to visit a few pubs per night, so what are the best pub recommendations please? I don't mind travelling outside of Bandon if there are a few gems a little further away. I'm a Brit so I guess I'll maybe skip the rougher pubs 😂

Are there any places I should visit while I'm there? I want to stay in/around Bandon if possible (been to Cork several times) so nothing too far away please.

I'm used to sport (mainly football/soccer) on most nights of the week in the UK. Is there any local sport that I could attend on a Wednesday/Thursday/Friday nights? Keen to watch anything GAA related if possible.

Appreciate any suggestions 👍

Does anyone have recommendations for barbers/hairdressers in and around the city who are queer friendly and mullet-savvy?

I've been going to QueerHawk in Dublin when I've been up there, (adore them, 10/10) but it means a return train journey and just a lot of logistics and want to have it nice for an upcoming holiday.

Hey, I’m a woman in my mid 20s looking to join a martial arts club. I honestly do not mind what type of martial art it may be (kickboxing, MMA, boxing, muay thai, etc). The main priority for me is:

- friendly members, preferably a younger crowd (20s, 30s)
- regular training for beginners (up to 2-4 times a week)

Would anyone here have any recommendations? Thanks :)

Anyone know if dispos are sold in Cork Airport in the WHSmith after security. I feel like I have a vague memory of there being some. Also if anyone knows what kinds there are. Cheers

Relatively new to cycling and my brakes have failed (nearly killing me in the process). Any recommendations for decent bike mechanics in city/suburbs? Thanks.

I must get the train to Dublin at 7am tomorrow, I am planning to park in the station as that is the only way to get there from where I live really.

For those who park there, what time does the parking usually fill up at?

Hey everyone! It’s my birthday today and I’m looking to celebrate by getting a small tattoo just a small symbol with a bit of wording/lettering. Looking for recommendations on reliable spots or artists in the city center who regularly accommodate walk-ins on short notice for clean, quick pieces. Appreciate any suggestions!

I know nearly 2 years has passed, but is there anywhere that comes close yet? What I wouldn’t do just to taste one more Jackie Delux and chips, maybe a cheese and onion pie, some curry sauce.

I was in cork for over 10 days. Loved loved loved the city, weather, people, food. Realized early into the trip that something is always going down in the city - mostly the oliver plunkett street - man that street is entertaining. But ‘twas not all jolly. Twice, on two different occasions, some random dudes (in a car) screamed, like they were trying to scare/harass us (all women) when we were heading down to our hotel after dinner. Later over the weekend we headed to the fitzgerald park for breakfast at the tria cafe, we took a walk in the park later and towards one of the exits, a grown ass man was climbing a tree like a fucking chimpanzee and when we got closer to the damn tree he hopped down and started saying I love you, we all got so scared because he kept following us. Thankfully we found a security guard at the exit and told him about the crazy fucker. Other than that it was a pretty amazing trip - def love cork more than dublin. Had the bestest meals at Hayfield manor, spitjack, cornstore and the yummiest cocktails at the rearden.
