Villages such as Riverstick are becoming more developed as people move away from the city areas. As far as i know Riverstick has two pubs. This one and Allens. It is an attractive building and we got parking directly outside. This is a pub that i have driven past several times and said that i would like to visit. As you walk in the door the bar is directly in front of you. From the moment you walk in you will see it is a very modern and comfortable pub. There is seating over to the right. If you turn left there is more seating here and also a very welcoming open fire. We sat straight ahead and it was fine. There is a a seat just before you walk out to the toilet on the left and it is a grand private spot. The bar lady was extremely friendly and offered several choices of wine. I had a mineral so i can’t comment on their stout. We were suprised at how modern a pub it is and in fairness nobody batted an eyelid as we walked in. There was a good crowd in there, both a mixture of locals and those who just wanted a drink. It appears to be quite a small bar but there is something about the place that is appealing.
The toilets are situated down the back out a door and to the right.
They are also very modern and were very well maintained. From the outside it appears like a very big building so there may be another
part to this pub. I can honestly say that it’s a place that i will certainly consider in the future. Jen echoed this sentiment.
Toilet rating: 8/10
Overall rating: 8/10
Final comment: The Babbling Brook is a nice pub. Even though it was our first visit, it was very welcoming and it is worth a visit.
This is my Mams pub. (hi Mammy)
Everyone who visits Cork should visit mammys pub. In fact, you should visit Cork just to see mammy in her pub. She does the best dinners and the fire is always lighting for all you thirsty visitors!
Hope to see you all down there.
Lots of Love and Kisses
