The highest-reviewed Irish pubs in New Zealand on Craic Map.
Craic Map currently lists 28 verified Irish pubs in New Zealand, spread across 7 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 New Zealand is higher; we just don't add ones we can't independently verify.

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 New Zealand on Craic Map and use the filters at the top to narrow to pubs with music confirmed in their listing.
