Bru Hostel

Please have a look at Events section (top right) for up to date information.

Bru Bar is an ideal way to relax and unwind after a day of hard traveling or after exploring the sights and sounds of Cork and its surroundings. Every guest receives a voucher that entitles him or her to a complimentary glass of White Gypsy Lager, winner of best Irish lager for the last two years.

Bru Bar dates back to the late 1700's and the original stone wall is still visible behind the bar itself. Nobody can really claim to have experienced Irish culture until they sample a pint of the black stuff, be it Guinness, or Cork's own superior Murphy's Irish Stout and Beamish's Irish Stout, so make our bar a part of your travel memories. Guests of Bru Hostel can also take advantage of our residents bar that carries on late into the night.

We have a range of Premium bottled beer from around the world to compliment the 14 different beers on tap, so you'll need a bit of time, not to mention stamina!

We also love our wine and have unearthed a few hidden gems such as Cazalet's Syrah from France.

We have a traditional Italian Coffee Machine too which puts out a great cup of Segafredo's Buono coffee.

The ambience is rounded off with an open fire, live music, BBQ's, big screens for the matches, pool table, Juke box, a warm welcome and loads of drink specials and prices, which are amongst Cork's most competitive!
