What Лидия Емельянов dislikes about Cask:
Lovely food/cocktails and great service. But they won't allow bill to be split more than ways. Very difficult for our group of especially as most people now pay by card. Would discourage me from going with a group again. View all feedback.

Harry was our server, he was very friendly, attentive but not over bearing. The food and drinks came out quickly. The portion size was perfect for 2 people. We shared the charcuterie board and wings. Outside seating I think calling ahead would be best for the patio. We were seated in a nice spot close to an open door. Perfect for a breeze. Nice place!
Superb service coupled with great food, and wrapped in a picturesque setting. The waterfall certainly adds to the overall experience. I’m not typically one for shared plates, but there was more than enough to go around, and each plate, being so tasty, was difficult to ignore. This would be great for a date night.
Well what a little gem cork has to offer.I think you would have to travel a far to find a better Cocktail bar that here. The Cocktail menu is sourced from local ingredients but they will also make you whatever you like, a bonus was the food it was delicious and the service top notch also what a great vibe the bar has if your in cork it’s a must but try book cause it’s busy can’t wait to go back
What an incredible night at cask!! Both the food and drinks were top class. Ethan introduced us to some white lady cocktails and my go they were amazing ! Thanks Ethan and the team at cask for being the best hosts !!!

Cask is definitely our favorite place for food and cocktails in Cork. The staff is always so friendly. Love their selection of cocktails and their food is always amazing! I would recommend booking here in advance.
Great spot to get a drink or a few! Beautiful inside garden, attentive staff who will make you feel welcome and overall great vibe and ambience! Special shoutout to Clara who made the effort and got me a left behind umbrella that I could’ve used as it was pouring down the rain. Thanks!!
Everything about Cask was absolutely lovely besides the beef dish that had very little meat and was mostly fat and gristle which is why I couldn't give it the full 5 stars. The ambiance is a 5 star so it's a great place to take a date. The tapas are high quality but I have had better for lower prices locally.
3.5/5 Food was good, cocktails are nothing to brag about. Waiters seemed a bit frazzled and our table ended up waiting around 40mins for a plate that they forgot. It also happened with a drink order which they charged us for, but then took off as it never came. Service would need to be improved for me to go back.
I liked this cocktail bar. very trendy, cocktails are higher end expensive, but beautiful. the staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. it is in a beautiful location. beautiful for a tasty bite!

Had a wonderful time here last night. Great tapas, wine and especially the cocktails. We had the most comfortable spot by the window. All the staff are fabulous, a special thank you to Meave, Dan and Aoife for taking such good care of us. One of the best places in Cork, can’t wait to come back. 5 stars all the way !!
Sound bar staff ! shout out to Dan ... gorgeous food even better cocktails �definitely worth a visit ! Well done to all involved in making this a pure dacent place to go !
Waitress and waiter were extremely helpful explaining the menu and helped us to choose wisely. Loved the food. Road works were noisy but we enjoyed the meal despite the digging. Will certainly return to the Cask again ....and again.!
Fantastic service really A1 ! From the girl who served us for the night to the bar staff and bouncer just so nice. amazing atmosphere, the music was class(go DJ) and the food is great. Great night overall and would highly recommend it
Had a fantastic experience in here. Everything was A1. Did the 'Donkeys bollox ' on it. Carl and Brian were very welcoming and put a smile on my face when I had no smile on my face. My new favourite place to drink. Cocktails, good music, good company and good looking lads. Would highly recommend to anyone who loves cocktails.

The restaurant is just off McCurtain Street. The service was fabulous and the food was amazing. The whole vibe in the lamest from the bar with a DJ into the very relaxing restaurant was very pleasant. The food was really good. The steaks are amazing and had a cocktail after. Can’t recommend enough.
A brilliant restaurant great choice of menu and reasonable. Friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely visit again when I visit Cork.
Small menu but no need for ANY expansion, portion sizes are perfect and the general ambience and service is incredibly inviting, professional and catering. Not as expensive as it looks, you feel no pressure dining in this luxury. 20/10. Also if you get a seat outside with the waterfall in the background you’re laughing
We celebrated our son's engagement at this beautiful restaurant. I chose it for the waterfall view and we were not disappointed. The food and drinks were wonderful and I highly recommend it for a special occasion or just a lovely meal.
