Reviews of Costigan's Pub

I wish you could leave reviews without rating sometimes. So much depends on the night you show up. We were there last Saturday night and it was spilling over with loud, arguably rude youth. (20ish-year olds) I got a half pint of Beamish and tried to get out as quickly as possible. Maybe another night I'd of liked the place. It vibed bad intentions, like high school angst. I don't know a better way...

I love this Pub. We spent there three evenings in a week when we where in cork. Lovely people and good service. The ambient is also top. Live music was very good. We will see us again in August.
Matthew Love
It's a good pub with a nice atmosphere. The live musicians are very loud but that's the same everywhere these days. Drinks prices are odd. I bought a Cronins cider twice and was charged €7.80 the first time and €7.10 the second.
