Though many were sceptacle at the start, the new building is a breath of fresh air. Though the building may be modern Pa's still holds a historic ambiance with pictures and memorabelia decorating the walls, from music to sport and Cork memorableia. Even though it is a small establishment, the ambiance that fills it speaks for itself. With a mix of regulars and visitors to Cork mixing together, accompanied by live music throughout the week, Pa's has stood the test of time to keep it's well earned title as one of Cork's most treasured pieces of history!!

The word doesn't cover it. The building that was Pa Johnsons for years beyond reckoning was demolished and removed and a complex built over it. For quite a long time Pa Johnsons wasn't. Now, in the newly erected building, it has been reincarnated. The shock of seeing this for the first time yesterday was a bit much for my frail brain. It brings about questions on the nature of identity that I can not fully comprehend. A brand new licence would be needed for the new bar, not just a renewal of the old one, this can't be what the bar was; the original building was destroyed, so Pa Johnsons isn't confined by physical limits; is it the same owner and/or staff - is this where we can find the identity of the bar? Or is it more delicately scattered among the denizens of the city who in the past have enjoyed the surrounds, and in the future will coalesce to drink in the nascent scenery? Renovations?

It was better then, but wasn't everything. It's still a great locals bar and the best pint of Heineiken in Cork. Also, the piano gets used on a regular basis and makes for a good night.
