“Awesome experience. This is an insanely enjoyable (and delicious) evening of food and drinks, stories, songs, and history, all with Local artists involved. You hear an entire history of the city in hilarious bite-sized chunks. The pub itself is the oldest one in Cork and a landmark. The whole event was delightful from start to finish. Recommended for all ages! Tripadvisor review 2022
