The West Cork Irish Pub

What is The West Cork Irish Pub? Anchoring the corner of Queen Street East and Broadview Avenue in Riverside, The West Cork Irish Pub delivers an unpretentious, authentic slice of County Cork to Toronto's east end. The interior balances classic drinking-den character with homey warmth, fitted with plush scarlet seating, working fireplaces, dartboards, and communal barrel tables alongside a busy wooden bar.

The West Cork Irish Pub Menu & What to Order The kitchen leans hard into genuine Irish comfort staples, starring an authentic Dublin-style spice bag packed with crispy seasoned chicken, peppers, onions, and chips dumped straight out of a brown paper bag. Order the cheese curry chips for a decadent curry-gravy poutine mashup, or settle into traditional bangers and mash blanketed in savoury onion gravy. Pints of Cork-brewed Murphy's Stout and creamy Guinness flow steadily from the draft lines, perfectly accompanied by bags of imported Tayto crisps.

Know Before You Go Tables can be reserved online for groups and monthly trivia nights, but walk-in bar seating remains easygoing for catching live GAA and soccer matches. The pub fills quickly around weekend live music sets and evening football matches, so arrive early for prime seats. Drivers can rely on Green P street parking along Queen, though the 501 Queen streetcar stops steps from the front entrance.
