The Roundy 1 Castle Street, Cork, County Cork T12 RX09

"On Sunday early afternoon 16/4/23, my brother was refused service at the bar, the barmaid said he had too much to drink, he "truthfully" told her he didn't have anything to drink yet, she didn't believe him. I went up to the barmaid to explain that he had medical incident when he was a child, and he had tubes down his throat for 3 months which permanently damaged his vocal cords, he also has problems with his balance, but instead of getting an apology, her response was - "I don't have time for this!" The place was not busy and there were four staff working behind the bar. She said my brother was rude, which is absurd, he is a very honest, gentle type of person, and he told us what was said. We were all very disappointed as my adult kids and friends are frequent patrons of The Roundy, and I also enjoy it, including the comedy. This was extremely badly handled, we would have been satisfied with an apology, but the rudeness of the barmaid left us no choice but to leave."

"The Roundy is one of Cork's famous pubs.This place is an icon in Cork City. The bar has a great atmosphere and the staff are very attentive! It is a uniquely shaped building with curved windows and leather couches that hug the curved interior wall that lend themselves to the "Roundy's" name. Its a great bar to have a drink with friends, be it for a quiet night or a place to start your night out. The music is played at the right level as it’s not overwhelmingly loud to the point where you can’t have a good conversation and hangout. There is a wide outdoor seating area to enjoy the outside during dry and warmer days and there is two level to the bar with plenty of room indoors. The bar has an upstairs area which offers live music. One time, I was at the Roundy with 3 friends and the bar man suggested to us to go upstairs and grab a table before the Jazz Festival started. It really made our nigth being able to sit down and instead of walking from pub to pub. We were there too early for that to start, and couldn’t get in, so I can’t comment on that aspect of the venue The bar can be a bit overcrowded at times but I highly recommend stoping by and checking this unique."

"The Roundy is a uniquely shaped building with awesome window views of what’s going on out in the wild and crazy streets of Cork (OK, I kid - it’s really not that wild and crazy in Cork - but the views from street level are great). Not only is it a good place to enjoy a pint, but it’s also a good location for a cup of coffee and chilling with friends during the day (or late into the evening). It really seems more like a comfortable lounge than a bar. Nice leather couches circle the walls with plenty of table space to hang out and converse with groups. Cool Mo-Town style music from the 60’s is piped in over the speakers, but it’s not overwhelmingly loud as to where you can’t have a good conversation and hangout. They have an upstairs area that offers live music or comedy on a rotating basis. We were there too early for that to start, and couldn’t get in, so I can’t comment on that aspect of the venue. Five stars for this place if we didn’t have to walk through the crowd of smokers on the sidewalk patio before entering the front door. Minus half a star for that, so this is actually a 4.5 star joint. Love it, and really enjoyed it! If I had to describe this place in one word, it would be "CHILL"."

"Great spot for a night out. Great atmosphere and the staff are sound. Music downstairs is great and there's a club upstairs that has bands and Djs. Drinks aren't too expensive and service is very fast. Would definitely recommend it for a few pints on your night out."
