This Cork pub is the BEST craft beer spot in Ireland
Cork is officially the best county in Ireland for a few pints.
Rebel pubs took all the top gongs at this year’s Bar of the Year Awards, presented at a gala awards ceremony in Dublin, hosted by Newstalk’s Tom Dunne.
Cork cocktail mecca Cask won big, scooping the overall Bar of the Year title for the second time in a row, Cocktail Bar of the Year and a personal gong for manager Andy Ferreira, who returned from a well earned family holiday in Egypt to collect Bar Manager of the Year.

It was a Cork newcomer that secured the Best Craft Bar for Leeside however, with Impala scooping the top award in a hotly contested category.
The Liberty Street bar, a firm favourite among craft beer fans, is home to 22 rotating beer taps, a fun cocktail list and a tasty selection of natural and organic wines.

It’s even dog friendly, so you can take a canine companion for a pint after your evening stroll.
