Intermission, the bar below The Pav music venue, is a monument to the cosy lounge bars of the 1970s, a place you could have a quiet pint after work, have the craic with your friends, read a newspaper, discover the life stories of a stranger or commiserate over life’s misfortunes. Their demise marked an unfortunate loss of one of Ireland’s great mediums of exchange, we are delighted to be resurrecting the concept in a manner which honours this great tradition.
The stunning interior of Intermission is a testament to the fine talents of Cork’s skilled craftspeople, every item you see from the joinery to the brass and the furniture to the artwork was conceptualised and constructed within a five-mile radius of the bar. It was an amazing process to work with such talented people. The wood panelling which defines the character of a lounge represents some of the best carpentry in the country. It has all been designed with comfort of our patrons explicitly in mind.
