Reviews of The Mardyke Entertainment Complex

E. H.

Barcadia was such a good laugh. Food was incredibly tasty, games were a good laugh and staff were absolutely A1. Would highly recommend for any occasion

s. k.

Ordered the chicken burger, surprised with the quality!!! gread food, great staff, great atmosphere, great choice of activities. EXPENSIVE but fair

J. B.

A maze of a building with great options, friendly staff, and decent food. The pool cues leave a bit too be desired though.

M. P.

Great craic! You are definitely in for a very fun experience.

S. D.

Great fun and friendly staff. Delicious food also!

A. Z.

Lovely place to spend time with your friends! 🎳🍹🍸🍷🍺🥃🍾💃🕺

K. J. M.

Grand place. Great for the football. Bar staff helpful. Pool is robbery considering the state of the tables and cues. Mainly go here for the football on Saturday so ultimately happy with the place.

J. A.

It's a great place if you want to have a good time with friends or even other people. With a long range of entertainment options between arcades and bowling, you will definitely have a good time and find something that can fits your standarts.

A. S.

We had such a fun date here! We played pool and went down into barcadia and played retro arcade games. A really well thought out complex, with ample staff, a good menu and reasonable prices. Pool was €16 for an hour, and although it was busy it didn't feel crowded. There is bowling, pool, ping pong, arcade games as well as various bar areas and restaurant facilities.

Excellent bar and entertainment venue. Second to none for sports, events, pool, bowling and arcade games. A great place to visit if you are traveling to Cork and want a place to relax in a casual setting with good music and vibes.

R. O. D.

We were there as part of a work party, played pool, bowling and Casino, all good fun. The finger food served was very good too. The toilets (by the bowling area) are a disgrace though, there was a few mm of water (or something else) in the floor and cubicle lock was broken. This needs to be addressed! Not fair to supply such bad facilities to paying customers!

E. O.

Very nice, group friendly bar with bowling, table tennis, snooker, pool and karaoke. Perfect place for tourist or locals looking to spend an evening not just focused on drinking in a bar. Quick and cheap finger food and centrally located. Student discounts

P. D.

Lovely complex of entertainments, you can find a good variety of pub types, foods, they have bowling, pool, billiards, watching various sports etc. Friendly staff, and you can reserve table(s) as well. Covered smoking terrace on top floor, good security services as well. I can strongly recommend

S. H.

It's a really fun place for smaller as well as larger groups. You can do all sorts of different activities such as pool or karaoke or pingpong and there is even a smoker area. In terms of drinks, you can get a variety of beers and cocktails as well as the usual selection of nonalcoholic drinks. The music is fairly loud though, so as it gets crowded, following a conversation gets harder. Supposedly, the food is pretty good as well. Unfortunately, the kitchen closes fairly early (around 10 I think) so I haven't been able to see for myself.

A. N. N.

Hands down the best spot to hit in Cork City! Bowling lanes, a pool hall with full sized tables, snooker, ping ping, foosball, the sickest arcade you ever did see, beer garden, several bars including Cork's best international sports bar, an award winning restaurant, live screenings, a weekly comedy club, craft beers, cocktails, private karaoke pods and some of soundest staff around....all under one roof. If you're looking for an all round fantastic night full of good fun and great food get down to the Mardyke!

N. S.

Amazing place for any party. Nicely sectioned for different activities.

N. M.

Best place I’ve been to in Ireland for “activities” whilst having some drinks. Loses a star for food being pretty basic and pizza is out of a box for sure. The pool, arcade, bowling, table tennis and more all make for a really fun night especially for a group.

D. O. B.

I have regularly attended the Mardyke Entertainment Complex with college friends for the last year or so to avail of the services there and have never had a issue there. They have several bowling lanes of high quality, an array of pool tables and 3-4 snookers tables, and several table tennis tables on the premises they you can use for a hour or two at a reasonable price. They have a bar serving drink and hot food (depending on time for the food) on site and is also home to Cork's best smoking area. A heated and decked out smoking area with different seating/table arrangements and has 3 different television screens in the smoking area showing different live sports.

C. J.

If they would clean their pipes (in all 3-4 bars in there, everyone is just as bad) regularly I would spend far more money in there! There is enough profit being made in there for the pipes to be cleaned more often from what I can tell. Copper penny pints no matter what time of the week, month or year you go in there and ive been going there for years, disgusting Clean them the damn pipes so I can just enjoy a pint in there for once, I beg of ye

S. M.

Great beer selection, American pool tables, and delicious food. What's not to like? The complex has several different bars and restaurants. For beer, the Woolshed is best. For food, probably the Holy Smoke. But Barcadia has a special place in my heart, mixing arcade games, pinball, beer and burgers.

M. L. D. (.

Great place, great fun if you're coming with a bunch of friends or for a family gathering. The bowling and pool would be my favorites. Note though that it is a very dark place, not much windows, I recommend evenings as a result.

H. M.

Lovely place to play pool. Generally very clean. The arcade is a let down. If you want a nice place to play pool and unwind it's great.

P. W.

Great time and great place to have a birthday party

M. S. (.

probably the best place for Karaoke in Cork, maybe the only real place. warm atmosphere, even though it can get a bit noisy at times - bit thats the whole point of karaoke. have been there several times now, and feel that is defiantly a place to go with friends, opens till late too.

D. B.

Very cool venue, one of the few places to play bowling and pool in the city. Also have karaoke pods and a full arcade.

F. C.

Amazing, great place for birthday parties, school tours, or even just a great day out with your family, bowling, ping pong, karaoke, pool and scuncar and a video game arcade with classic video games, there is also a bar and a restaurant. Would definitely recommend it

M. K.

Great place! Multiple levels, different room sections for different games. Ie, arcade level, pool table room upstairs, ad bowling lanes at back. Plus Monday nights board game group!

s. o.

I love this place. I truly had a nice day

J. G.

Lots to do here. Food served and drinks flow freely. Bowling and pool upstairs. Lots of TVs for sports etc.

D. R.

Barcadia section was nice but music was ridiculously loud and while there was an aircon unit, it was not turned on. This made it very stuffy on the hottest day of the year in cork. Good selection of games though

N. W.

The Mardyke is everything a full time entertainment complex is supposed to be - reliable, well priced, clean, and operated by friendly staff. I've attended the Mardyke many times now, almost exclusively for group activities that I've organised. Each time I've left my evening impressed by the quality of service throughout. From the initial email or call enquiring on price and availability, to finalising the payment or invoice, Mardyke are both clear and polite in their communication. So why else do I keep going back? Their core offering of course. Amazing bars with a wide selection of drinks. A huge variety of food to cater to all tastes. Plenty of pool, snooker and table tennis tables. Outdoor areas for the smokers in the group. Private karaoke booths. Bowling. Price. Overall I can highly recommend the Mardyke and its wonderful staff.

M. D.

A good spot for groups with bars, restaurants, bowling and pool in one area. The bowling alley offers a loyalty card and evening offers with pizza and a lane for an hour

P. A.

Good ambiance, nice music, there are some 7-8 bowling Lanes, young crowd mostly.. just the bar is very slow even in not so peak time..

The big screen and the seat positioned with inclination like in a stadium gives you a sensation that you are close to players. Moreover, they also have good food and beer. Arrive early in big events!!!

A. R.

Wonderful ambience with pinball machine, pool tables and bowling......a must visit

س. ب.

I don't drink but I live going there for bowling with friends, or table tennis, or pool. I also love the arcade games and they have so many board games as well. Probably the first place I think of when arranging to go out with friends.

Facilities and activities wise, the best pub in Cork. I'm taking a star off though for the crazy pool prices. 15 euro for an hour on a pool table, crazy 🤨

L. W.

Great atmosphere here bar staff and waiting staff good food good but dj a disaster he should knew how to empty the dance floor with his choice of music 🎶 most of the time it looked like he was playing the music to himself. Had to leave to go somewhere else for the tunes

c. K.

Very nice,great service,food is good.

W. A.

Good food and fun with the vintage games, the only place where you can drink and have activity with your friends. I recommend

J. D.

Nice place for groups. However the day we went the people managing the bowling were not that great, names were wrong in the lanes and food was really late.

L. H.

In barcadia for the first time. Food is amazing cocktails are fantastic and the atmosphere is so warm :) thumbs up from me guys will be back next weekend had an amazing time thankyou!!!! P.s time crisis is the bomb!!!!

K. G.

The old woolford store. Bowling, pool and snooker all under one roof with two excellent bars. Caters for kids party's and corporate events

T. N.

A really great outdoors roof area complemented by awesome bar staff and good games to play everywhere, including bowling

C. M.

Entertainment value here is fantastic. Food is below average so eat only if very hungry. Staff are friendly and helpful.

M. J.

Perfect venue for drinks before night out. Bowling, snooker, pool, table tennis and live sports upstairs in the covered smoking area!

C. C.

I love the Karaoke rooms. So much fun to have with a group. Music is great too in the bar.

l. p.

Wonderful place to eat, drink and be merry!

Pints tasted bad on this occasion. Chilly nachos were not great either. Good fun had though in the bowling alley.

R. S.

This is the place to go when you wanna watch a Match or enjoying some Bowling, I have only tried the burgers and they are good, not the best, however price wise they were as expected.

C. H.

Good fun, needs a bit of renovation. The bowling lanes seem a bit wonky. Finger Food they serve is not good.

M. j. C.

One of the best venues in the heart of Cork ctiy. Retro gaming, board games, the wonkey donkey comedy club, fantastic food and to top it all off amazingly professional management and staff. Will return again and again.
