    Great Live Music
    Came here for drinks and listen to music. It is a small pub and when we got there it was quite crowded. We sat upstairs for a bit but we enjoy watching the live music so ended up standing downstairs. The music was great and the service was good.

    Superb..
    It became our local and we went every night of our 3 night stay. It was quite busy every night (Saturday to Monday) and there was excellent live music on each night. The drink selection was varied and the staff friendly and the prices reasonable for Cork. A nice room upstairs where you can probably get a seat and from up there you cannot see the musicians, you can definitely hear them. A superb atmosphere

    Special night in Cork
    My wife and I were on our first visit to Cork, and enjoyed a fantastic evening at Sin e. Even on a Monday night, the atmosphere was great, and the live traditional folk band that was playing were just fantastic. They were clearly enjoying their music, and it made for a really special evening. Locals and tourists rubbed shoulders and mingled as easily as you'd like - we were made to feel so welcome. And of course, the beer was excellent. I've developed a particular taste for Beamish... Thanks, Sin e!

Such a pleasure to find a place in Cork offering trad music everyday! Place is usually packed! Best to go a bit early before the music starts to get a good seat!

If you are looking for traditional Irish music in Cork, Sin E is likely to deliver. Great music, excellent beer selection and lots of character in this quirky pub.

Your pub was amazing and I've got the Tee shirt to prove it 😄... The staff, atmosphere, live music 🎶 was everything I wanted from an Irish pub 🍻... The Guinness was beautiful... I'm looking forward to returning one day but now back Home 🏠 in west Yorkshire...

Great pub which had a live traditional Irish band. It was pretty busy so I'd get there early or you'll need to stand.

A great Irish pub with great music and great clientele! We had a great evening and met a number of people on the night whilst listening to some great Irish music with a country twist.

I can't even begin to describe this place, except you must go if in Cork. From the abstract decor to the live music. Prices quite reasonable and the atmosphere amazing. Gets absolutely packed , with standing room only . Staff lovely and friendly and the locals welcoming

Real cosy, cool pub. Great music, great atmosphere. Only pity is one of the bar staff is really rude. Would have left the pub last Friday because of her but luckily she was finished her shift around 6ish so we stayed. So glad we did, the music and people there were fantastic.
