WHAT OUR AUDIENCES THINK:

 “An absolute must see, highly entertaining dinner show. The cast was energetic and engaging. The show was original, informative, and hilarious, and held the attention of the entire family. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Cork.”

Tripadvisor review June 2022

“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

“Great Food! Great Fun! Honestly really wonderful people who did more than serve and entertain us they engaged with us. This should be the first thing anyone does when visiting Cork”
