    This neighborhood gem is well worth the drive to Eldersburg. We discovered it a few years ago and have dined there several times. Our entres, trout and filet mignon, well excently prepared. Our server was attentive but never pushy. We look forward to our next trip to County Cork!

    This restaurant never disappoints. Innovative take on common dishes, many homemade ingredients, great ambiance and service. A little pricey but worth every penny.
    The County Cork Wine PubResponded on June 19, 2025
    Thank you Michelle for the 5 stars! We appreciate you recognizing the homemade ingredients. Chef Gordon makes almost every menu item from scratch from our ice creams, to salad dressings to every sauce on every dish. I will be sure to share your comments with him. Looking forward to your return visit. Be sure to look for our nightly specials..Tuesday 1/2 price wine, Wednesday free Small Plate with two entrees and Thursday night our famous $5 martinis!

    Food & service excellent as usual. Glad to see my favorite breakfast dish is still on the menu (Irish Grits) since I’ve seen it in only one other restaurant—and it wasn’t in Maryland! Stay good at what you guys do.
    The County Cork Wine PubResponded on June 19, 2025
    Thank you for such a wonderful review and 5 stars! I will keep the kitchen inspired by sharing your review with them all. Our brunch has some pretty unique dishes on the menu and couldn't be happier that you enjoy it. We look forward to your return visit.

    We arrived early this evening and ordered two cocktails at happy hour prices. The Thai shrimp and six raw oysters were delicious. We both ordered the Cork Burger and they were perfect and prepared at the correct temperature. Outstanding service by Emily. We enjoyed our evening. Highly recommended.
    The County Cork Wine PubResponded on May 20, 2025
    Thanks Scott for the 5 stars and taking the time to write a review. I'll be sure to pass your comments on to Emily, she will be as thrilled as we are to hear it! So glad you enjoyed your visit from the food to the service! We hope you'll be back again soon and please share your experience with family and friends....word of mouth is the best advertisement :)

    We had a nice post-hike visit to Cork County Wine Pub. The menu included a good selection of interesting dishes. The prices were reasonable. Service was prompt and friendly. Food was really good. Well prepared and served hot. Biscuits were warm, delicious and large. Great experience!
