Established almost two centuries ago, Coughlan’s is steeped in history. The pub itself is a listed building, and if the stone walls of its much-loved beer garden could talk, they would confirm what we already know – that this venue delivers one of the finest nights out in the country. Having won 2020’s IMRO National Live Music Venue of the Year, Coughlan’s have made an authoritative step into the gig world, and they’ve contributed in no small way to Cork’s vibrant live music scene.
