Cork has more pubs on Craic Map than anywhere except Dublin — 81 verified, from the Victorian bar of The Oliver Plunkett to Franciscan Well's brewpub on the site of a 13th-century friary. Sin É on Coburg Street is the trad landmark, with sessions most nights of the week. The city drinks locally: expect Murphy's and Beamish on more taps than Guinness, and a fair amount of opinion about which is better.

Yes — every pub listed on Craic Map passes our Irish-identity verification before publishing.

Pubs without sufficient evidence are parked for human review rather than published.
