The Black Dog 53 North Main Street, Cork, County Cork T12 AE13

"Lovely spot. Nice bar, drinks and service. Food is good too and prepared in front of you. Can recommend tacos and cocktails!"

"Unfortunately I do not like people being rude and dishonest to customer. I have been their many time and it went good but today was too much. Clearly those people do not know how to manage their booking and calling clients liars coming to shout at us with attitude while it seems to be a misunderstanding on their side ? Please be professional and talk to your client nicely. At the end we all got tense and got into an argument with the staff in front of everyone… embarrassing. No gesture from the black dog in our favor and upon leaving, we still felt like we were seen as liars. We left and I will not trust this place again. Too bad because the food is amazing."

"We booked a table with friends for a birthday and specified we were 10. We got moved upon arrival at the restaurant as there was a double booking, until a larger table was free. We then got told we could go back to the original table of the booking, to which we moved. Later on a member of staff came to tell us we moved without their permission. We explained the situation and the staff quickly escalated and did not own to their mistake. The way the staff handled the situation and the tone used was deeply unprofessional. Mistakes are understandable but I really don’t get how you can talk to people in that way, working in hospitality. Good food but terrible service. I clearly don’t recommend unless you want to be treated like a lesser person…"

"Really Unique Spot in the city centre, The food (Mexican inspired) was excellent & filling, the menu is short and kept simple, definitely value for money! Great place for drinks and food, nice atmosphere, security on the door are very nice as well as the staff. I’ll certainly be back."

"Wow! The best authentic Mexican food I have had. The slow cooked birria beef tacos dunked in the sauce made my mouth water constantly. Flavors excite every taste tastebud on your tongue for full flavor. The atmosphere is cozy, classic rock style."
