We went visiting Jen’s relatives last evening and popped into The Fir Tree in Watergrasshill. It was a very miserable night and there was a few people scattered around the bar. After visiting we were driving through Glanmire and decided to stop off at The Vienna Woods Hotel. Our last visit to this hotel was a good number of years back when a friend of mine got married and we attended the afters of his wedding. We headed in at about half ten and i ordered a glass of 7up and a glass of white wine. The conservatory area of the bar was empty and we sat just across from the bar. There were two people sitting at the bar and there was a bit of crowd in a big room off the bar, probably the lounge area. The bar man was very polite and efficient and we enjoyed our drinks in what are very pleasant surroundings. The hotel is in fact an 18th century country house that has obviously extended quite a bit. We enjoyed the drinks and stayed for another as well.
I went in search of the toilets and they are a good walk from the bar down past the restaurant. There may be toilets nearer but i couldn’t see any. The gents toilets were in very good condition and were a good size. Vienna Woods is set in very attractive woodlands and has a nice drive up to the hotel. The entrance for driving in, on the Glanmire road is a very sharp turn so beware. All in all an enjoyable hour spent in The Conservatory Bar. Check out the hotels website @ www.viennawoodshotel.com
Toilet rating: 7.5/10
Overall rating: 7.5/10
Final comment: This bar is quaint and would be worth checking out. If you are in the hotel at a function or staying at the hotel have a drink here.
