Episode Synopsis

Rob Crowley runs Callanan’s Bar, a small pub on George’s Quay overlooking the south channel of the River Lee. It has been a family-run establishment since the 1930s with a loyal clientele. Callanan’s is more than just a pub, it’s a Cork institution. Now in its third generation of ownership, it continues to maintain its welcoming atmosphere while supporting storytelling, theatre, and music. Over the years, it has hosted intimate plays, events as part of the Sounds From a Safe Harbour Festival.

We speak about the history of the pub and his family, his love for George's Quay, hosting different types of events in a small bar, the surrounding community, and much much more. Rob's love for his city and the people that frequent Callanan's really shines through.
