Situated in the excellent Gresham Metropole Hotel, this bar is a friendly, well-run establishment. The building has recently been totally refurbished and the plush, relaxed atmosphere of the hotel spills over into the delightful, well lit bar area. The walls are adorned with pictures of jazz legends; many of whom have played at the hotel in the course of Cork's famous Cork Jazz Festival. An interesting range of clientele assembles every night, from hotel guests to local business people, to enjoy the classy but unpretentious atmosphere. Check website for restaurant timings.
