“Cork & Kerry is a Southside iconic pub. It has a great atmosphere, beer & drink selection. The service is great. It's the type of place you will run into someone you know. They don't serve food there, but they will let you bring it in. There is a great party room for any occasion. There is plenty of room for at least 75 people comfortably. You can bring in your own decorations, food, and desserts. They will let you run an open bar tab or customize the occasion to your price range. Parking can be tricky depending on what day of the week you visit. There is only free street parking. You may have to drive to a side street unless it's not busy. Overall, Cork & Kerry is a great Southside Irish bar to visit.“

“Visited early afternoon Fri 12/19. Felt sorry for the only woman there to serve, as she was covering both the bar and all tables. The place was packed. I hope she made bank in tips. I give her all the credit in the world for her exceptional friendliness and attitude. As our group was leaving, we did see another server, so I hope our original server got some relief.“

“Teresa was outstanding great atmosphere“

“Pretty good menu. Lots of grilled cheeses and at first I was skeptical but it really is flavorful. My favorite monthly sandwich I wish could be turned into a standard sandwich is the cubano. Loaded tots are also very good.“

“This is not your typical ‘bar food’. Everything we have tried there is higher quality Restaurant Food. Bartenders … especially Artie and Kristy are attentive, efficient and fun ! The 0wner, Tommy is usually hanging around and is friendly and accommodating. Sometimes due to allergies I have to alter the menu a little and he doesn’t hesitate to switch things around a little… Do yourself a favor… stop in for a great meal and enjoy a friendly atmosphere.“

“Always forget about this place. Dinner special was Blackened Chicken over couscous, poblano peppers & onions. Served with a roasted carrot and pickled red onions. It was truly delicious.“

“I don't know where to start, but I had a great time, and dinner was delightful. Most of all, my server was amazing. She did a great job with dinner recommendations, and her personality/vibe was spot on. She helped explain the different entrées and took the time for me to look over
everything. She was very patient and pleasant.
I would recommend this spot for anyone who is looking to eat alone or bring the family. If you're planning to eat here for the first time, I would ask for Deena A. to be your server. She made my experience a 10/10, and I will be back!“

“great great bar, the shark theme is awesome , great location, wish you guys had Lowenbrau“

“I was told by a friend about this place and how good their pizza is.... and lemme tell ya, I was not disappointed!! We ordered a medium pizza with sausage, onion, and green peppers. The pizza was absolutely phenomenal! One of the best pizzas I've ever had. They piled on the toppings and the pizza was cooked to perfection. We also ordered the fried zucchini and it tasted great as well. The ambience is very warm and welcoming along with the staff. So, if you are in the area and want pizza do yourself a favor and stop here! I highly recommend it.“
