Sin É (‘That’s It’ in Irish) sits on Coburg Street across the North Channel from the city centre and is widely considered Cork’s best trad-music pub. The sessions are famously informal — musicians sit in the middle of the wood-panelled front room (not on a stage), and the crowd gathers around. Tuesday evenings and Sunday from 6pm are the usual trad nights.
The pub itself is tiny and atmospheric, unchanged for decades. The barman is famously grumpy in a Cork way. 10-minute walk from the city centre across Patrick’s Bridge.
