Tig Coili

The traditional Irish music sessions that take place in Mainguard Street’s Tig Coili are so legendary that they have even been known to attract some of the country’s biggest musical stars – such as Paul Brady and Sharon Shannon – to join in the fun. Indeed, this lively and welcoming pub is so loved by locals and tourists alike that it’s nearly always busy, with revelling crowds spilling out onto the street during the summer months. Still, a lack of elbow room is a small price to pay for the authentic local culture you’ll soak up here.
