AN SPAILPIN FANACH

(The itinerant labourer)

An Spailpin Fanach is a traditional music venue in Cork City; not surprising then that some of its lunchtime food is traditional.

Tomorrow it will be bacon and cabbage in this city centre pub but today (Wed 23 Sep) Irish Stew was high on the lunch menu.

We had started with a smashing vegetable soup, tasty, straight from the pot and no extra salt added. Then came the stew, a plateful of smashing food. Loved it and finished it off before staying on the trad path with a well made apple tart. A cup of decent coffee rounded off an enjoyable hour or so.

A great bar for live music - whether traditional Irish, or jazz or swing - they’ve a very varied line up. Good beers on tap too, and friendly service. A good bar with the right kind of atmosphere to start your evening off before moving on elsewhere.
