Curraheen Greyhound Park

If you tire of the pubs, the live music and the theatre, there's always the dogs. Greyhound racing is big in Ireland, particularly with families, and Curraheen is one of the country's poshest stadiums. There are 10 races a night, plus a restaurant, a bar and live music. It's 5.5km southwest of the centre; buses run from Cork's bus station.
