I'd noticed there was a serious craft beer selection downstairs in the Mardyke. I guess that's going to be rebranded as the Porterhouse?

Already there <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) --> And don't forget The English Market and O'Connails Chocolate- there's lots to love about Cork.

The Porterhouse Cork are having their official launch on Wednesday 6th. They're having competitions on Facebook for invites.

There was talk before Christmas of a regulars night as well. A reward for the people who were coming to the bar before it became a Porterhouse and for sticking with it after. I don't know if this is still on or if it's being merged with the official launch.

What a fantastic pub.

Shuffleboard!

I called in here on Saturday for a pint and some lunch before the FW Festival. Wasn't open till 14:30. Thought they'd be open for lunch on a Saturday. Don't know if the location will work. Although only 5 mins from the city centre there is nothing else around it to draw a crowd. The Woolshed next door is a student type barn of a pub (no offence to students)we had one drink and left, not aimed at our age group <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

Had a great pint of Murphy and a sambo in the Long Valley, lovely pub.
