#DiscoverOurLocal guide says: "Craic" (/kræk/ krak), or "crack", is a term for news, gossip, fun, entertainment, and enjoyable conversation. This iconic Irish pub focuses on what it does best – a refreshing drink in the afternoon sun out front as you watch the world go by. Regular live music gigs and some great pub grub."
