First look: Iconic Cork city pub reopens after refurbishment

One of Cork’s best-known pubs has officially launched its new look venue, following a transformative €500,000 refurbishment.

The reimagining of Clancy's has resulted in the creation of Arthur’s Bar @ Clancy’s – a new experience for Guinness lovers in Cork developed in collaboration with Diageo; 1824 @ Clancy’s – a first-floor restaurant celebrating contemporary Irish cuisine; a dedicated cocktail lab for premium mixology; and the vibrant sky bar @ Clancy’s, a rooftop party bar with panoramic views of the city.

15 new local jobs have been created.

“We’ve taken Clancy’s long legacy and built something exciting and future-facing,” said owner Paul Montgomery. 

“From the new Guinness experience at Arthur’s Bar to the food offering at 1824 and a party atmosphere to raise the rooftop at Sky Bar, this is a venue where locals and visitors alike can come to enjoy great taste, storytelling and Cork hospitality at its best.”
