Favourite pub in Cork. Lovely staff and always seems to have a friendly, quirky crowd. Unfortunately, the great interior was closed during covid but I've drank pints in a lane-way before and I have no problem doing it again.

Just came here to meet a friend and leave but got talking to some of the bartenders and the patrons and I decided to stay. Great atmosphere. Two of the staff I remember are Sarah and jacky I think. Very helpful, good Craic, definitely will be returning. Keep up the stuff lads

We walked past this alley and I couldn't help but be intrigued by the colored lights hanging overhead and decided we MUST see what was down at the end. Moments later, my friend who had visited the month before messaged me to tell me I should go to Mutton Lane. We looked up the address and started walking and, what do you know, THAT WAS THE PLACE! So with no further ado, we went down the alley and entered a dark and lovely little pub with cute little seating areas and the usual beers and ciders on tap.

Been here a few times as I am a native corkonian. Would make it more regular as it is a fantastic pub and atmosphere...However, today I had to get myself a TripAdvisor account just so I could warn others off the issue in this bar. Every single time I have gone there is a small but with a short beard that is beyond unprofessional. Rude and arrogant like the heading says. Dies not greet shirt smart answers and gives a look like people are stupid for making any enquiries. Guy who has a chip on his shoulder and should not be working with people. There are many reviews here that name him as being an issue and yet he continues to be employed. You'd wonder why the owners allow their brilliant bar and the experience to be pissed on by this guy for years, huge oversight. I won't be returning anytime soon as usual. Sad as other barman there are really nice.I was there Saturday 13th Jan 2018 at 12.30pm.

Went on a Monday night but it was quite busy with a wide variety of punters. Lively place worth a visit and very near main City thoroughfare

Was recommended by a friend that this pub was an ideal spot to while a way an hour or two, they were right, quirky atmosphere lends itself to reading a book, people watching and a fine selection of beer. I was there during the day and it was constantly busy but staff were friendly and fast. The candles and outdoor seats were great and crushed ice was a nice touch for the craft cider. Place was dark hence candles, fairy lights etc which added to the atmosphere of a old premises doing what a pub should do without the distraction of food. Long may it flourish and please God I will be back to visit again. Highly recommended

Really got in touch with my Irish ancestor roots in Ireland and loved the history of this pub!! Great overall atmosphere which was filled with a great mix of music. I was made very welcome by the staff, especially by a colorful and quirky bartender called "Jackie" I believe who made my day - impressing me with multitasking a knowledge of the bar whilst serving many customers at once! Overall a great place to take a step back from the hustle and bustle of the city streets!!

Love this little bar, down a little alley leading to the English Market. It always seems to be night time inside, with dim lamps and candles. A wonderful atmosphere. They serve a great range of Irish craft beers, ciders and stouts. There is wi-fi, lovely dogs and oodles of charm.

Came accross this little place just off Particks Street in Cork City. I was actually looking for the entrance for the English Market when i saw the sign for the Mutton Lane Inn. The place is amazing and full of character as is the litte land leading to it. Lovely pint and lovely atmosphere. Well worth a call if you are in Cork.
