Since 1988

A proper Cork pub, done right

Tucked in beside The Lough on Bandon Road, The Gallows Bar has been pulling pints and hosting the local for well over three decades. It's the kind of place where the beer is kept properly, the darts board sees more action than the jukebox, and there's always a match on somewhere in the room.

Whether you're in for a quiet pint, a Sunday session with the game on, or a competitive frame of pool, you'll find genuine hospitality and the same familiar faces that have made this corner of Cork a real local institution.
