This is the first pub review to be undertaken in a residental estate. Mount Oval village is an exclusive development of houses located in Rochestown, Cork. Myself and Jen paid a visit to the Mount Oval Bar. It is situated in an attractive cul de sac surrounded by shops and other facilities. It is an impressive and modern building from the outside. As you walk in the bar is straight ahead and there are comfortable seating areas to the left and right. I was very impressed with the decor and design of the pub. It was quite busy inside. I ordered a Murphy’s and a white wine and it came to 8 euro. The bar man was extremely polite and brought the pint over to the table. We sat over to the right on a very comfortable couch. They have one of those plasma tv’s on the wall. The Murphy’s was a good pint and Jen stated the wine was very nice. I thought it would be very posh but it certainly wasn’t that. I would have happily had a few pints in there. We only stayed for the one though.
The toilets are over to the right when you walk in. The ‘male toilet’ is fine and was in very good condition. There are some interesting lights on the mirrors. The cubicles were very clean and there was a nice smell of air freshener. There is a restaurant near the bar and they also serve bar food. It is a very nice pub to sit and have a chat in. It is a modern, comfortable and friendly bar. I will go back again and try some of their cusine.
Toilet rating: 8 and a half/10
Pint rating: 7/10
Overall rating: 8/10

I’ll admit the toilets were in good nick, but to be honest the pints are horrible and it is a nice place but wont be going there again. I went there for new years and we were the youngest there, and were getting looks all night.

His name is Adrian and all the female staff love him!!
cool place, i love it and the staff is great, Gregg the manager is awesome and so is Adrian, the bar manager, pity their website is gone though…
i warmly recommend on this exclusive bar, if you’re into great food and a pint, that’s the place!
