About
Whitegate's Hidden Gem
Tucked into the beautiful East Cork village of Whitegate, The Schooner Bar is one of those rare pubs that gets everything right — fresh food, friendly faces, and an atmosphere that makes you want to stay all evening.
Known across East Cork for their outstanding fresh seafood — particularly the fish goujons and hake — The Schooner is a dog-friendly, community-centred pub with live music, live sports, and a staff that genuinely goes above and beyond. Bartender Adam Daly even remembers your pint before you ask.

What People Say
"The Schooner is always our go-to place in East Cork. The fish goujons were divine and so reasonably priced. Despite being full and crazy busy, Tina greeted us with a smile. Food and service is always great — definitely value for money."
— Grainne H."Fab place and service. Great service from the lovely staff and the food was divine. Gorgeous fresh fish — we had the fish goujons and hake. To our surprise the prices were so reasonable. We'll be back for sure!"
— Tracey O'S."Went down to Schooner, I'll go back again — great spot. Adam behind the bar is the best barman I've ever met. He knew I wanted a Coors straight away. A credit to the place."
— Mark H."Great variety of food, very friendly staff. Fish goujons were delicious, as were the nachos — all washed down with an ice cold pint of Coors Light."
— Jan Murray"One of the nicest, cosiest, cleanest pubs I've ever been in. A must visit. Porter is top notch too."
