I nominate that review for the Pulitzer Prize.

Craic (/krΓ¦k/ KRAK) or crack is a term for news, gossip, fun, entertainment, and enjoyable conversation, particularly prominent in Ireland.[1][2][3] It is often used with the definite article – the craic[1] – as in the expression "What's the craic?" (meaning "How are you?" or "What's happening?"). The word has an unusual history; the Scots and English crack was borrowed into Irish as craic in the mid-20th century and the Irish spelling was then reborrowed into English.[1] Under either spelling, the term has great cultural currency and significance in Ireland.

In Ireland, if a bar or club or party is described as having "good craic", it means that it has a fun atmosphere -- a good time can be had -- good vibes.

This urban slang has hopped the pond and is used in a colloquial fashion in America in this way.
