This 125-year-old Cork pub has a stunning Airbnb hidden above it

By Katie Mythen-Lynch April 1, 2019April 1, 2019

You’d never even know it was there.

Nestled in the heart of buzzy Victorian Quarter since 1895, The Shelbourne bar is a must-visit on any trip to Cork, but did you know you can stay the night?

If you like to be in the heart of the action, there’s a pretty three bedroom apartment directly upstairs… and it’s an absolute bargain for small groups.

The apartment is accessed via a private door and situated over two floors, plus a master bedroom in the loft with its own bathroom.

There’s three double beds and one couch which turns into a bed suitable for a child and wifi is provided free of charge so you’ll have no problem posting all those staycation Instagrams.

The beautiful window shutters open wide so you can sit with a glass of wine and watch the vibrant Victorian Quarter come alive in the evening.

When you’re finished exploring the city, grab a cosy snug or a high stool for dinner and drinks at the Shelbourne – the bar is home to more than 300 bottles of Irish whiskeys, the largest and best collection in Cork.

The property has a solid five-star rating from previous visitors and it’s a very reasonable €170 per night, book here.
