A small, dark, untouched pub on Coburg Street, north of the river, considered Cork's most reliable spot for traditional Irish music. Free sessions most nights, usually starting around 9 pm with players coming and going through the evening. The beer is straightforward and the atmosphere is the point. Get there before 9 to find a seat.
