We know where we’ll be heading for cocktails this weekend.

The River Lee Hotel’s new River Club is open for business and the interiors are very plush indeed.

The busy Western Road hotel shut down its waterside bar for a major makeover earlier this summer, with hoarding keeping all the goings-on inside a big secret.

Now the curtain has been drawn back and Cork revellers are invited to pop in to view the stunning, Deco-style interior for themselves.

The River Club boasts a beautifully tiled bar with stylish upholstered bar stools, a grill and a terrace for enjoying those summer evenings with dinner al fresco.

Cosy seating areas with marble-topped tables are ideal for group get-togethers and celebrations.

We can’t wait to pop in for an Old Fashioned or two.
