That's because most of the pubs on Barrack Street are decrepit sh*tholes full of alcoholic lunatics who wouldn't turn away an axe-murderer.

Yes, it's magnificent. I served my time up-and-down Barracka as well, biy!

Southside, The Gallows, Sportsman's Arms, Tom Lynch's (which is a shame cos Tom's sound) and the worst of them all - The Brown Derby. If you're drinking in the Derby you've basically given up on life. In contrast to this, Annie Macs and the old Bradleys (before that langer Tom Barry took it over) were sh*t pubs that were also fantastic pubs.

Don't forget Moks, possibly the greatest of them all! :cool:

I don't like the Gallows but the rest of them pubs you are slating are nice pubs imo. Sportsmans especially, I'd drop in there plenty of times throughout the year. You didn't even mention Tom Barrys which is one of the best pubs in Cork.

Unfortunately the brown derby is closed.

Barrack street has some of the best pubs in Cork (and some great characters in them), you obviously dont appreciate proper "auld lads" pubs.

Excuse yourself right there. I f*cking love old-school pubs. There is however, a difference between an old-style pub with characters and a depressing p*ss-hole filled with people drinking themselves to death. The Gallows is just a rough-as-guts estate boozer, nothing too wrong there but it isn't my manor. Sportsmans and Southside are plain sh*theaps with the Brown Derby being the worst of them all by far and away. Thank f*ck it closed down. If you think Tom Lynch's is a "nice pub" then you're mental.

Tom Barry's is a good spot but it isn't an "auld lad" pub by any stretch of the imagination and it's geared toward trendy hipster types more than anything.

Moks, the Spáilpín and the Castle are arguably the best old-school pubs in town.

Hi all,

I'm sorry if this has been done before but I did a search and all I could find was posts on suggestions for 12 pubs etc.

I've been invited to a 12 pubs session with work (social club, not the company). I've never been on one before but I've heard about them. So today I get an email with the rules of it. This isn't it word for word but its the jist of it.

1. Eat before the first drink. No eating allowed after this until the 12th pub is finished
2. Each pub is 30 minutes and 1 alcoholic beverage must be consumed in that time (pints for men). If you don't you must down the drink before leaving the pub and do a shot in the next pub.
3. If you are caught cheating (i.e. not drinking/drinking a non-alcoholic drink) you must do a shot
4. If you fall/spill a drink/some other silly scenario you must do a shot
5. If you get sick you must do a shot after
6. If you get thrown out of a pub/cause the group to get thrown out you must do a shot in the next pub.
....

The rules are just a joke, nobody will actually enforce them or is expected to abide by them, especially as everybody would be too drunk to enforce them.

Although now that I think of it, there is always one idiot who tries to be really strict about it, but most people just laugh him off.

Good craic with a bunch of friends, but not appropriate for work or social club!

I just can't place Tom Lynch's - it's not Cissie Youngs is it? A Tom Lynch used to own that in my time. Another great spot back in the day was The Weigh Inn. Great Sunderland AFC pub if I remember correctly.

As for the whole 12 pubs thing. I go out with my mates because they are good craic. I don't need to invent a game to make them seem less dull. 12 Pubs is a game for people who don't really have anything interesting to say to each other!!!

Tom Lynch's is the Celtic pub opposite Tom Barry's, it's up the road from Keith's Barbers, which happens to be the greatest barbers in the history of the world.

Well we will have to disagree as I really like the sportsmans there was a time when I'd be in there at least once a week and there is something about the southside that I like too, for the once or twice a year I visit it. The sportsmans also undoubtedly has the best pint of Guinness in Cork.

You're quite open about the fact that you drink fúck-loads in general.
