186 verified Irish pubs across 18 cities on Craic Map.
The United Kingdom's Irish-pub scene is shaped by centuries of cross-channel migration, with major hubs in London, Liverpool, Manchester, and Birmingham. London alone hosts dozens of Irish pubs serving the city's substantial Irish community and the broader tourist trade, while Liverpool — long called Ireland's unofficial second capital — has Irish pubs woven into the fabric of the city.

The highest-reviewed Irish pubs in United Kingdom on Craic Map.
Craic Map currently lists 186 verified Irish pubs in United Kingdom, spread across 18 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 United Kingdom is higher; we just don't add ones we can't independently verify.
London is the city with the largest cluster of Irish pubs in United Kingdom 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 United Kingdom on Craic Map and use the filters at the top to narrow to pubs with music confirmed in their listing.
