The Shelbourne Bar Staff

The Shelbourne Bar stands as a celebrated establishment, renowned not only in Cork but across Ireland. Our venue has consistently earned recognition and acclaim, securing the esteemed title of Ireland's Best whiskey bar for an impressive four consecutive years.

Additionally, we take immense pride in the remarkable achievement of our very own Rory McGee, a Guinness World Record Holder for his exceptional skill in crafting Irish coffees. In 2020, Rory astoundingly prepared an astounding forty-nine Irish coffees in just three minutes.

The Shelbourne Bar History

As part of our commitment to providing a premium experience, we introduced our online store in October 2020. Here, you can explore our meticulously curated Irish Whiskey Gift Boxes, thoughtfully crafted by our in-house Whiskey Experts, featuring handpicked favourites from our extensive collection. Recognizing that not everyone seeks to purchase full bottles of exclusive selections like Midleton Rare or Redbreast 21, we offer a unique opportunity to savour these exceptional whiskeys.

Each of our gift boxes comprises four 50ml bottles of Irish Whiskey, accompanied by a stunning Shelbourne Glencairn Irish Whiskey Glass. What makes these offerings truly special is the inclusion of a QR code, allowing recipients to access a video presentation wherein one of our Irish whiskey experts guides them through the intricate tasting notes of each whiskey, enhancing the overall experience.
