We were at a wedding last Saturday in Cork. The church was the beautiful Honan Chapel at UCC and the reception was at the Imperial hotel on the South Mall. We decided to go for a pre reception drink with another couple in Kudos bar at the recently built Clarion hotel. We sauntered into the bar and i was immediately impressed. It is a very modern, funky and extremely comfortable bar. It is very spacious and is over looking the river Lee. I ordered the drinks at the bar and they are a bit above the city avarage for a pint but the lady serving at the bar was very pleasant and provided service with a big smile. There was a big crowd in the bar watching a GAA match on the tv’s. The pint of Murphy’s that i had was a very good pint and i had another which was just as good. We didn’t stay in the main bar but instead decided to sit in the lobby area. We decided to get some sandwiches and we were served by a very polite man. The sandwiches were very tasty and we paid for them at a small bar in this area.
I didn’t check out the toilets but the ladies saw them and said they were in good condition. I was very impressed with my first visit to Kudos bar and to the Clarion hotel in general. I will most definately head back at some stage. You must check it out for yourself. If you want to contact the Clarion hotel phone: 0214224900.

Final comment: The Clarion hotel has built up an excellent reputation since it opened and from my visit, Kudos Bar lives up to expectations.
