The Old Oak, Cork
Although seemingly modest in size from the exterior, the Old Oak is quite large inside, ranking among the city’s largest pubs. Inhabited by plenty of friendly regulars, this pub also gets a fair amount of tourists and though there is plenty of space inside, it can get quite busy, particularly on the weekends. The bar is amply staffed which makes it easy to get a drink even when it gets crowded, and the selection is good and diverse enough o please any guest. Rock and pop music is played here, mainly geared towards a more mature crowd, and live acts occasionally play at the Old Oak as well.
