The Franciscan Well Brew Pub on the North Mall in Cork City boasts one of the best beer gardens in Cork City. Covered, heated and comfortable the beer garden is steeped in history. The franciscan "well" itself is still flowing today and the brew pub is based on the site of an ancient franciscan monastery and later during the 1940s was the location for bottling Guinness for the people of Cork.

The brew pub can be booked for barbecues (during the spring and summer seasons) or on every Thursday night we fire up the wood burning pizza oven. Private functions, reserved seating, tours of the brewery and a beer tasting package are also available, just call to arrange.

The brew pub has, free WI FI and a great atmosphere. We have a wonderful array or customers from tourists to student and of course the beer buffs who seek out the bar for its extensive range of craft beers, ales, lagers and stouts, from our own brewery next door and further afield from other Irish and international micro breweries.
