Nightlife and Entertainment in Cork
Edit ThisLive music in Cork
Brendan Rice @ Irish Music Central
Larger events and concerts in the city centre usually take place in either the Cork Opera House (Emmet Place), the Everyman Palace Theatre (McCurtain St), the Half Moon Theatre/Club (on Half Moon St), or the Savoy Theatre on Patrick St., the city's main thoroughfare. The Lobby Bar on Union Quay hosts more intimate gigs, and is reknowned for the quality of the artists and bands who have performed there over the years. Other small-mid sized venues of note include Cyprus Avenue (above the Old Oak pub on the corner of Caroline St and Oliver Plunkett St), An Crúiscín Lán (Douglas St) and Fred Zeppelins (Parliament St).
Several pubs in the city centre and surrounds have regular weekly slots for house bands or spontaneous trad sessions, including An Spailpín Fánach (South Main St.), An Bodhrán (Oliver Plunkett St) and the Phoenix Bar, beside the Lobby on Union Quay. Venues of note in Cork county include De Barra's in Clonakilty, the legendary Connolly's of Leap, Pine Lodge in Myrtleville, The Lodge in Mallow, and the Sirius Arts Centre in Cobh.
For those who are visiting Cork and are interested in checking out what the local live music scene has to offer, a comprehensive listing of all gigs and concerts can be seen at www.corkgigs.com.
