Discovering The Roaring Donkey: A Gem in Cobh

If you ever find yourself in Cobh, make a beeline for The Roaring Donkey. Nestled at the top of Orilia Terrace, this Irish pub radiates that genuine vibe you’d want to soak up. Think of it as the local watering hole, where the beer flows, and the stories pour out just as easily.

When you step inside, it feels like you’ve been welcomed into someone’s living room—just a tad more crowded! Friendly staff like Ashley are ready to chat, making you feel right at home. I walked in solo, and, honestly, the warm atmosphere almost pulled me in for a hug. Regulars abound, and they don’t bite! Everyone seems to know everyone else. It’s like one big family gathering minus the awkward uncles.

The indoor area is cozy enough, but wait till you glimpse the back! The beer garden? Pure magic. Covered awnings, heaters—it’s like an outdoor living room. Whether it’s drizzling or sunny, you can kick back with a pint on the cushy seats, surrounded by locals. Ever had a beer while surrounded by laughing friends and the strumming of a guitar? Yes, please!

Oh, and did I mention the live music? Wednesday nights are a definite highlight—more than 40 years of tradition, and it’s a real hoot to join in. Folks gather, some grab instruments and before you know it, you’re either toe-tapping or singing along.

With a staggering 493 reviews and an impressive 4.8 rating, it’s evident people are loving their time here. The Roaring Donkey is also pocket-friendly, accepting credit and debit cards, but you’ll remember the vibe way more than the bill.

If you’re in Cobh, craving a pint or a lively music session with a sprinkle of camaraderie, The Roaring Donkey is an absolute must. Believe me, you won’t want to miss out on this slice of traditional Irish pub life!
