This pub has closed down. September ’09
We went next door to Barry Murphys bar after we left Hannie Macs. This pub is in the Farran area on the main Cork to Macroom road. Sunday afternoon was our time of visiting. There is a good area available for parking outside. As we walked in we met a very pleasant man and discussed the awful weather we area enduring. As soon as myself and Jen stepped inside we knew immediately that this pub is very much a locals bar. We were noticed as strangers but that was about it. We got the odd stare but none that seemed unfriendly. I ordered the pint of Murphy’s and a diet coke and we sat near the front of the pub under the tv. There was a big crowd inside and i have to say that there was a great atmosphere inside. The pint of Murphy’s was excellent, very good quality. Some of the customers that we saw in Hannie Macs had come into this pub when we arrived. It is quite a good sized pub and there is a pool table down the back.
The gents toilets are small and there was quite a bad odour in there to be honest. There is a seperate smoking area available for patrons wishing to use this. Barry Murphy pub was another enjoyable visit and its your typical locals spot.
Toilet rating: 5/10
Pint rating: 8.5/10
Overall rating: 7/10
Final comment: I am not sure if the owner of this pub is Barry Murphy but who ever owns appears to do a very good trade from what we saw.
