Bru Bar is an ideal way to relax and unwind after a day of hard traveling. Bru Bar dates back to the late 1700's and the original stone wall is still visible behind the bar itself. Nobody can really claim to have experienced Irish culture until they sample a pint of the black stuff, be it Guinness, or Cork's own superior Murphy's Irish Stout and Beamish's Irish Stout, so make our bar a part of your travel memories. Guests of Bru Hostel can also take advantage of our residents bar that carries on late into the night. We have a range of Premium bottled beer from around the world to compliment the 15 different beers on tap, so you'll need a bit of time, not to mention stamina! We have a traditional Italian Coffee Machine too which puts out a great cup of Segafredo's Buono coffee. The ambience is rounded off with an open fire, live music, big screens for the matches, a warm welcome and loads of drink specials and prices, which are amongst Cork's most competitive! Brú Hostel is the friendliest and most modern budget hostel Cork has to offer. Just a short walk (really) from the main bus and train stations, Bru Hostel is located at 57 MacCurtain Street, which is right in the city centre. Room choices vary from private -(double bed with single bed overhead) to 4 bed dorms and ALL feature private bathrooms, most of which are en - suite and including breakfast, available now so call us on +353 (0)21 455 9667 for reservations or book via our website, bruhostel.com.
