    It's my first year going to Jazz weekend! Has anyone any tips for the best pubs to go during it?
    Also I'm under 23, ive heard places are strict on age. Is this true??

    The Jazz Festival is brilliant. I don't think you'll have any problems getting into anywhere at 23. You'll have no problem getting stuck into a bit of tail either if you feel amorous

    At 23 you shouldn't have any issue really. Just be careful not to be to out of it when trying to enter a certain establishment.

    Do you drink Heineken? Or Coors? Or Murphy's? Or Beamish? Or Foster's?

    If so you won't be able to get those drinks in a city centre pub.

    Guinness have the big pubs sewn up, so Guinness products only...

    There's checkpoints at all entry point into Cork, no culchies, dubs, hippies hipsters or knackers are admitted, if you brush up on a few local phrases you might just about con your way in.

    if you want to hear the best music, go to the Metropole Hotel on McCurtain Street.

    Other places worth a look are Morrison's Island Hotel on the South Mall, and the Half Moon Club. Im sure there are plenty other good venues since I was there last.

    I'm actually under 23! I've heard it can be hard to get in to places if you're not 23.

    I had no problem over the years, but it might have changed lately. Many of the gigs are afternoon sessions so you will have no problem getting into those. Don't go overboard on the pints during the day and there should be no problem getting into places in the evening.

    You can buy a evening pass for the Metropole. Buy one ahead of time to see if there is an age restriction, I wouldn't imagine there is as some of the performers are quite young themselves.

    I caught the end of a set in Chambers (of all places) on Friday but got my wallet lifted on the way back to the "hotel".

    So careful of pick pockets.

    You'll have no problem getting your hole. Some of the auld dolls do be in their 60s, and gagging after a few dry sherries and a chap in spats blowing on a saxophone.

    They'll do things XXX hamster content curators would blush at.
