Established
Trading at 8 Coburg Street since 1889.
Earlier uses
Coburg Street was once known as Madden's Field — an overnight holding pen for live animals being exported to England. The pub takes its name (Irish for 'that's it') from the funeral parlour next door.
Music
Cork city's longest-running home of traditional Irish music. Sessions running here weekly since the early 1970s — when most other Cork pubs had shut their doors to trad. Live trad has been on the menu through the decades when it was deeply unfashionable. Sessions every night of the week. Tuesday at 9.30pm; Friday and Sunday at 6.30pm; daily from 7pm. No tourist set list — the same musicians come back week after week.
Reputation
More than 50 years of unbroken weekly sessions. The cornerstone of Cork's trad scene.

Flagship memory draft
Boards.ie gives Sin E a useful forum-memory trail around old memories, music and sessions, stories and gossip, rituals and house habits and room atmosphere. PubHub is treating it as linked public memory, not settled fact.
The archive has 41 readable signals for Sin E, with enough repetition to make this a good candidate for a fuller memory page. The useful material is the pattern: what people returned to, joked about, remembered, or argued over.
The character lane is active here: 3 signals point toward regulars, staff-memory, crowds, roles, and room texture. PubHub should keep private people protected while preserving the sense of the room.
The source trail currently preserves 41 unique Boards.ie URLs for review. The dated archive span visible on the page is 1998-2014.

Stories and local colour
The archive has 41 readable signals for Sin E, with enough repetition to make this a good candidate for a fuller memory page. The useful material is the pattern: what people returned to, joked about, remembered, or argued over.
story gossip
Boards.ie gives Sin E 41 readable forum-memory signals around older recollections, changed routines, remembered visits, and traces of how the pub lived in people's routes, music, singing, gigs, sessions, and the sound of the pub in forum memory, story-shaped forum talk, rumours, local claims, and fragments that could become fuller pub stories, repeated habits, match days, late-bar routines, quizzes, lock-ins, or other house rhythms and recommendations, atmosphere, room feel, and how people described the place. This is not verified pub history; it is a mapped trail of what people said online and where PubHub can go next for local colour.
