Over 400 invited guests attended the Official Re-Launch Party at The White Horse, Ballincollig on Thursday 10th June. Cork music lovers, Ballincollig residents and business people came out in droves to celebrate the fantastic new look Gastro Pub and Music Venue where owner/ manager, Joe Carey of Cork band Jodavino fame, and his team at The White Horse treated guests to an event full of great food, quality world beers and surprise guests.

The event kicked off in the newly renovated front bar at The White Horse, now light filled and decorated with colourful artwork from Kinsale artist Eoin O'Connor, as well as photographs of visiting musicians. Guests were invited to sample the fantastic selection of World Beers and were treated to canapés from the new Gastro Pub menu.
