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.

The Queenstown Story tells a detailed nautica history of cork hobour. This is when thousands and thousands of emigrants went to sail to a new world and new life.
Cobh was the location during the mass exodus of mirgrants during the years between 1848 and 1950, and thats how the Queenstown Story was first told.
When you visit you will get to explore how it was to be aboard the coffin ships, by the exhibition they have there, and you will get to see presentations on the different eras.
When I was there I went to the gift shop and brought a lovely picture on it of coffin ships.

Midleton Distillery is responsible for making most of all Irish whiskey. The business first started in 1769. They have been producing Irish Whiskey for nearly 200 years.
If you you decide to visit I think you should have a guided tour, as the guides give you alot of information of the history of the buliding and the whiskey that gets made there.
Things to see is there largest pot which has a capacity of 30,000 gallons, audio visuals, mills, still houses and kilns.
You will also get to sample the brew and whiskey there. They have a restaurant there where I had lunch at, and I went to the craft shop too.
So if you enjoy a whiskey or two visit this place, I guarantee you will love it.

The Fota Wildlife Park first opened in 1983, which was a joint project by University of Cork and Zoological Society of Ireland.
The objective was the conversation of the wildlife which is now home to just over 90 species of exotic wildlife, some of the speices include zebra’s, Giraffes and antelopes and many more.
The have a restaurant called Oasis where you can relax, giftshop and a playground facilities for children.
The best part of my experience was the Awacachi train tour, that shows you sights of the whole park.

Blarney Castle is one of Irelands greastest treasures.
It was built nearly 600 years ago. One of the things that makes Blarney Castle famous is of the Blarney Stone, which is also known as The legendary Stone Of Eloquence, which is located on the top of its tower.
People believe if you kiss the stone, you will never be lost for words to say. American presidents, world leaders and worldwide entertainers have also been eager to kiss the stone.
Some famous people who have kissed the stone include, Winston Churchill, Mick Jagger, Laurel and Hardy and Amercian Choppers.
Things to see there are ofcourse the Blarney Stone, Rock Close, Wishing Steps asnd gardens.
I found Blarney Castle such fun and its very beautiful too. I will surely go back again soon.
