57 verified Irish pubs across 4 cities on Craic Map.
Canada has roughly 5 million people of Irish descent, with the strongest concentrations in Toronto, Montreal, Halifax, and St. John's, Newfoundland. Halifax in particular built much of its 19th-century identity around Irish migration, and that legacy lives on in some of the country's most authentic Irish pubs.

The highest-reviewed Irish pubs in Canada on Craic Map.
Craic Map currently lists 57 verified Irish pubs in Canada, spread across 4 cities. The figure is verified — each pub passes an Irish-identity check before it goes on the map — so the actual count of pubs that call themselves "Irish" in Canada is higher; we just don't add ones we can't independently verify.
Toronto is the city with the largest cluster of Irish pubs in Canada on Craic Map. From there, you can filter by feature — live music, traditional sessions, food, outdoor seating, or sports — to find the right pub for the night you're planning.
On Craic Map, the bar is independent of geography — we apply the same Irish-identity check whether the pub is in Dublin or Dubai. That includes evidence of Irish ownership or theming, traditional pub character, named-pub signals (e.g. "O'Connor's", "The Brazen Head"), and at least one verified feature like live music, traditional sessions, or food. Bars that score below the threshold get parked for review rather than published.
Yes — the directory supports filtering by features including live music and traditional Irish music sessions. Browse Irish pubs in Canada on Craic Map and use the filters at the top to narrow to pubs with music confirmed in their listing.
