During the day, Plunkett Street and St Patrick Street sing to the sounds of buskers, but at night lively music seeps out of the bars and clubs. Head indoors and sample one of the city’s two local stouts: Beamish or Murphy’s. Of course, there are too many pubs to mention, but to get you started, try: Sin É, a lively pub on Coburg Street that’s been hosting traditional music sessions since the Seventies, or An Spailpín Fánac, which boasts nightly music including Sundays with the Cork Singers Club.
