Holy Smoke Cork

Holy Smoke Restaurant, Cork City

Holy Smoke is an award winning BBQ restaurant located on Sheares Street in Cork. They specialise in pit-smoked barbecue and they serve 100% Irish meat slowly cooked at low temperatures for up to 16 hours.

All of their meat is smoked in-house daily, dry-rubbed with a signature blend of herbs and spices, and cooked using quality woods and 100% chemical-free charcoal.

Internationally-renowned pitmasters, John Relihan and Decky Walsh will deliver an exquisite BBQ experience to both meat lovers and vegetarians.

‘Taste of Cork’ and ‘Chef’s Table’ are two Cork gourmet events held by Holy Smoke. These allow guests to experience the signature BBQ dishes paired with best local craft beers or Irish whiskeys in a private setting.

Woodford Bourne & Co was constructed between 1873 ans 1875 and traded in Cork City for 250 years. It was considered one of the finest in the city and today it continues to be a listed building. The building was restored in 2001 after a fire is now home to Holy Smoke.
