Small Plates in the Metropole Lobby
At the heart of the hotel, our stylish Lobby offers a relaxed space to dine each evening from 6pm–9pm. Designed around small plates and sharing dishes, the menu celebrates seasonal, artisan produce and invites guests to sample, share and savour together in warm, effortlessly informal surroundings.
Perfect for pre-dinner or pre-theatre dining – with The Everyman Theatre just next door, the Lobby is an ideal setting for drinks with friends or a leisurely evening in Cork city.
On Friday and Saturday nights, the gentle sounds of our baby grand piano add to the atmosphere, creating the perfect backdrop for a relaxed night out.
