The Long Valley Bar, Cork

The Long Valley Bar in Cork City is a historic and beloved establishment that has been serving locals and visitors for over a century. The bar was established in 1842 and was bought by the Moynihan family in 1927, who still own and operate it to this day. The bar has a rich history, with its building believed to have been a firing range prior to the British occupation in the early 20th century.

The Long Valley is known for its great pints and hearty sandwiches, as well as its unique atmosphere. The bar is an old-fashioned, family-run establishment that is sure to charm anyone who steps through its doors. The current owner, Peadar Moynihan, is the third generation of his family to run the bar.

One of the Long Valley's unique features is the snug located to the left of the entrance hallway, which has etched-glass doors and chased-silver doorknobs. These doors were salvaged from the Celtic, a White Star ocean liner that ran aground in Cork Harbor. Inside the main bar is a long, low-slung room with a polished wooden bar running its full length. The barmen wear white butchers' coats, Victorian-style, adding to the bar's old-world charm.

The Long Valley has become a popular spot for Corkonians and visitors alike, with a laid-back, predominantly 30-something crowd enjoying the atmosphere and the constant supply of pints from the friendly barmen. Whether you're looking for a pint of Guinness or a cozy spot to relax with friends, the Long Valley Bar is an essential stop on any trip to Cork City.
