Nestled in the historic setting of a 13th-century Franciscan monastery, the Franciscan Well Brewpub has been the “Home of Craft Beer in Cork” since 1998. The atmosphere is vibrant and inviting, centered around the pub’s signature feature: a large, attractive, and mostly covered outdoor beer garden. The venue hosts regular events and provides a unique backdrop for enjoying its specialty brews.

As one of Ireland’s oldest microbreweries, the pub specializes in its own award-winning craft beers brewed on-site, such as Rebel Red and Chieftain IPA. For food, it features Pompeii Pizza Kitchen, offering delicious wood-fired pizzas designed to pair perfectly with the beers. Beyond the brews, the bar features a dedicated Cocktail Bar (The Monk) and a curated whiskey collection. Key entertainment includes frequent live music (including jazz and traditional sessions), as well as immersive experiences like Ultimate Craft Beer Tours and Tastings and Cocktail Classes.
