SoHo Bar & Restaurant

great food

Great bar for food, beer and watching sports on the big screen. had a lovely duck breast served on a hot stone so I could cook it how I wanted.

Went of for a bit of a girlie night out beginning with a meal here. Food was lovely, staff were really friendly - the wine must have been pretty good as we got through enough of it. We didn't stay after the meal so not sure what bar is like..

SOHO WHAT? SO GOOD

Downtown Saturday about six. Started at Lapps Quay to see the tailend of the annual Ocean to City Rowing event. Quite a buzz, a few hundred people, bars and restaurants busy and food stalls doing a roaring trade. We had to leave the food as we were heading for the Soho Bar & Restaurant.

Called into the Clarion to show my advisor the Atrium. While there, accidently met one of the management staff, a very pleasant fellow who gave us a little tour, that included the impressive Synergy Restaurant. It can seat up to 150 but which is well laid out with little semi-private areas where a couple would not feel overwhelmed by the crowd. So we said thanks very much for that and started out for SOHO.
We went through Patrick Street and came across a ragged looking Eastern European band (not really sure where they were from but their literature was in Cyrillic script) playing what sounded like gypsy music.
They were very active and an entertainment in themselves (they play The Roundy this Wed June 3rd) and then they were unexpectedly joined by a guy wearing his CK underpants and a ball and chain. He danced and they surrounded him as they played and we all had a laugh.

The feel good experience continued in SOHO. Starters were pan seared scallops followed by Pan seared duck. Both were top class and so too was the wine, a Fleurie AC Beaujolais Cru, Gamay 2007 (by Mignot). Desserts didn’t disappoint either and they were a Lemon Tart and a Sticky Toffee Pudding.
There is quite a range of prices here so you can stick to a budget or go for broke. The atmosphere, the lay-out and especially the service – we had our best waitress in a long time, friendly and helpful – were all excellent.

This is a great bar & restaurant in the centre of Cork city. It has 4 levels too it.

Level one is where you get get served mid-morning coffees & pastries, lunches,and through to late-night DJ’s and live bands where they perform on stage.

Level two is the restaurant, all there food is fresh and tasty too.

Level three is the VIP room where they provide you with full conference/IT facilities, private dining and full bar.

Level four is a private barbecue deck and bar.

All you need on a night out is in this one place, food, bar and music. To start the night my friends booked a cocktail making lesson on the top floor of the bar, they give you some info on cocktails, show you how to make them and best of all test one each when they are finished. There is a good disco bar on the ground floor to continue on your night. I had a great night out here, fab place to go too.

When we went to Bar Soho it wasn’t rocking yet because the last ten minutes of the footy was showing on the biggest screen in Munster. It was promptly rolled up and out when the game finished, and the DJ got into the act with a bit of house music.

It was a nice place, and we all started with cocktails that were quite posh, but they do a lot more than just drinks. You can serve your own Guinness, and even have a nice breakfast, lunch and dinner there before it turns into a party place. There are also corporate and private rooms for hire, and live music on certain nights.
