Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- AlbertSalichsManresa, Spain22,446 contributionsThe English Market is the main food market in Cork, the second largest city in Ireland. In the market, there are a.lot.of food shops, where you can buy almost all you want. Also, there are some bars and restaurants, where you can eat fresh products from the market. In fact, we visited the market at the early morning and we.could breakfast in Farmgate restaurant an Irish breakfast, which was very good. Also, we returned here in the evening to buy some products to have dinner (cured meat, smoked salmon, marinated sardine and some bread) in our accommodation and it was excellent!

- Amanda D4 contributionsLoved the castle. Loved the tour (be prepared for 100 spiral stairs!..you have been warned!) and learning of the history. But the astronomy talk was my favourite! The guide was clearly super interested in her subject matter and was engageable with the kids. A great and unique way to learn about Cork!Written 22 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- AlbertSalichsManresa, Spain22,446 contributionsButter Museum is located in Cork, the second largest city in Ireland. It is a very interesting museum, where you can learn a lot about the industry of butter in Ireland, his history and why Cork is a very important port in Ireland (in fact, the port is located in Cobh, near Cork). Really, here you can read about why butter is a very important food in Ireland and how Ireland was the main country to export this food.Written 29 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We all tried different things: corean, burger and hotdogs and nothing was really good.Written 14 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- PhilKateCaseyCork, Ireland54 contributionsGreat selection of shops - very clean and very friendly staff in all of the shops. I was there on a Thursday and there is an outdoor market - which offers wonderful products... On the day of my visit - a lot of cars but didn't appear crowded in the Shopping centre which is great for people who don't like crowds.Written 8 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Marzia DFItaly63 contributionsGreat experience, very interesting and informative even for our 5 year old! The girl who guided us through the engine room was very well prepared and entertaining, dedicating lots of time to us even though we were the only ones. She told us lots of interesting facts about the waterworks and its history. We appreciated the emphasis on energy saving too.Written 8 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Rod1015Cork, Ireland68 contributionsMy husband and I avail of any opportunity to visit this beautiful Venue. The intimate coffee/wine Dock is a welcome stop off before the Cinema. The patrons who visit appear to have a genuine appreciation of the arts, as there is no popcorn munching, unwrapping of sweets or mobile phone intrusions. The City Centre venue makes for convenience and the staff are always helpful and pleasant. We look forward to receiving the weekly Schedules so that we can plan our next visit.Written 6 March 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- LorenzoGBMotherwell, UK24 contributionsWe visited the Museum at Michael Collins Barracks, Cork.
The Museum is small but very interesting and tracks the history of the Irish Army from rebellion against British rule to its current roles, including a variety of United Nations deployments.
We were especially taken by the Michael Collins room with its fascinating selection of artefacts and written memorabilia from Collins’ personal, military and political life.
The visit was guided by Sergeant Denis McGarry. His guidance as curator of the collection was outstanding. We appreciated his broad-sweeping as well as detailed knowledge and his ability to tell a story of Irish history and the Irish army, covering over a century, which significantly enhanced our knowledge.
I can’t speak highly enough of this opportunity to visit the Collins Barracks Museum, Cork. It is a small Museum but it is a Cork and national treasure, as is Sergeant Denis McGarry.
Thank you Denis for a wonderful 2 hour visit.Written 24 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
