In cork there are hundreds of pubs, where you can drink the best irish beer (guiness and murph's), listening nice music. I think the best place are in washington street. Just 1 tips: don't go out to late becouse the pub close at midnight,at the most.

Personal comments
The college was really convenient for the location. It's near to the university, just five-minutes walk at the most. The kitchen was good size; the living room was huge. My bed room was quite small but it has got a nice wardrobe, though. It was a 5 bedrooms apartment.My flatmate were nice and i think this was the best reason i have a nice memory of the house.
