For couples who prefer good food, great cocktails, and meaningful time together on Valentine's Day - Cork offers plenty of ways to celebrate in a more relaxed and sophisticated way.
Whether you’re planning a full night away or simply a special evening out, here’s how to enjoy Valentine’s Day in Cork.
Start with Thoughtful Dining
A great Valentine’s evening begins with food worth slowing down for. This year, skip the rushed reservations and opt for a dining experience that focuses on quality, atmosphere, and seasonal flavours.
At Mabel Crawford’s Bistro, our chefs create dishes that are elegant yet comforting, designed to be enjoyed at an unhurried pace. Think beautifully presented plates, carefully chosen ingredients, and a warm, intimate setting that feels special without feeling formal.
Linger Over Cocktails
After dinner, there’s no need to rush home. Valentine’s Day is about enjoying each other’s company, and a well-made cocktail can help set the tone.
Our Bar at Cork's Vienna Woods Hotel offers a relaxed space to unwind, with classic cocktails, premium spirits, and a carefully curated wine list. Whether you prefer something light and refreshing or rich and indulgent, it’s the perfect place to extend the evening.
Add a Touch of Culture
For couples who enjoy a bit more than dinner and drinks, Cork’s cultural scene offers plenty of inspiration. A theatre performance, live music, or a quiet stroll through the city can add depth to the evening, turning Valentine’s Day into something more memorable and personal.
Make a Night of It
Sometimes, the best part of Valentine’s Day is not having to go anywhere at all. For those who want to truly switch off, we’re offering a Valentine’s overnight escape from €200, designed for relaxed indulgence.
Your stay includes:
- One night’s accommodation
- Breakfast the following morning
- A gourmet three-course evening meal in Mabel Crawford’s Bistro
- Chocolate-dipped treats in your room
- Robes and slippers for extra comfort
- A glass of bubbly on arrival

It’s a thoughtful way to celebrate, combining great food, comfort, and time together. Valentine’s Day doesn’t need grand gestures to feel special. Sometimes, it’s simply about good food, good conversation, and a space that allows you to relax and reconnect.Whether you join us for dinner, cocktails, or a complete overnight escape, Cork's Vienna Woods Hotel offers a Valentine’s experience that feels effortless, elegant, and refreshingly grown-up.
