Named for Ireland's southernmost county, this pub aspires more to quaint Celtic village camaraderie than hooligan rowdiness. With only beer and wine on offer and last call at midnight, County Cork draws a mellow, fleece-clad crowd of thirty- and fortysomethings, who at their wildest stomp along with the Irish musicians who set up in a corner of the bar, and perhaps slosh a little Guinness on the table. Well-executed Emerald Isle pub fare populates CC's menu: hearty pasties filled with beef and root vegetables and the essential bangers and mash. A plate of pub grub, a pint of something opaque and a couple rounds of cricket on one of County Cork's dartboards might just make for the perfect quiet weekend night.
