Set in a handsome building at the end of Oliver Plunkett street in Cork city, our restaurant combines an in-house nano brewery with a smoke house serving exciting food and drinks including our own Elbow Lane beers.
Opening hours:
Open 7 Days a week, 5pm–9:30pm (last reservations)
We are taking bookings for indoor dining. Walk-ins welcome
We’re really proud of the beers that we make here in our tiny brewery. There are no additives and we proudly brew according to the principles of the German Purity Law which means that we use four ingredients to make our beer. Quality and taste are paramount to us and we formulated the beers below specifically to work with the food we offer in our five restaurants.
We hope you enjoy!

A speciality concoction that Joe makes in small batches for the pleasure of our guests and his own amusement. To celebrate our 10th birthday we thought we might let others judge it. We were delighted to get a silver medal from The World Drinks Awards for it and as a result it can now be tried in all of our restaurants. Let us know what you think and we hope you enjoy” #GoJoeGo

About this Dry Rub
This rub is a combination of salt, pepper, sugar, herbs and spices and can be used to flavour meat in any dish. Unlike a marinade, the dry rub will form a tasty crust on the exterior of the meat when grilled. If grilled, the sugar will caramelize and form a crust to seal in all the flavour and juices. Just about any meat can be rubbed before going on the grill or in the oven. There are people that would disapprove of you using this rub as a seasoning on chips, potatoes and indeed breakfast cereals, but we don’t know any of those people.
