Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- crcurtis31Boston, MA15 contributionsStopped in on a Sunday night and absolutely loved this pub. Was very quiet until the live music began, then wonderful. The musicians sat at a table and encouraged everyone to chime in, and by the end of the night everyone was singing and dancing in one big group. Felt welcoming and extremely fun, like going out with people you’ve known forever, even family. Highly recommend!Written 4 March 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- chepaddyEdinburgh, UK6,999 contributionsLocated on the docks in what is becoming a major spot in city with Goldbergs and The Sextant either side of it.
Of the three very much a locals bar but friendly nonetheless.
They like their sport especially the horse but since it is owner occupied it has its own quirks - they go big for Eurovision and love the magazine rack full of glossy travel mags.
My mum & grandparents came from the nearby 'Jewtown' so love coming back here when in town.
As you can see from pics a working pirt just outside.Written 24 June 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It’s a Cosy bar with a great atmosphere on Oliver Plunkett street . It was particularly busy the night we visited , but a great buzz was palpable . Well worth a visit .Written 23 December 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Mary Kkilkenny10 contributionsWe called into The Cork Arms last night on our way back to the accommodation. What a gem in the middle of a busy city. We were entertained with ad lib singing both from the barman and the customers. The drinks were great too. We'll definitely be back.Written 7 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- LDLDapto, Australia173 contributionsWe came here with the family, 7 of us all together. We had to pre-book for dinner and entertainment. The food was great with all the Irish favourites on the menu. The entertainment consisted of musicians playing some great traditional Irish music who were happy to take the odd request. During the set some young Irish dancers came out to do their stuff. While not Riverdance quality they were clearly enjoying themselves and their joy was infectious. My only criticism was the stairs to the 1st floor were difficult for one of our party who had mobility issues. Other than that a very enjoyable night, great atmosphere and a terrific point to kick off from if you want to hit the town afterwards.Written 22 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Warm welcome from the staff too, would definitely recommend to anyone passing in Ballincollig.Written 16 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
