Craic actually applies to so many subjects, so here are a few additional examples of how it is used [and I'm using brackets to clarify a context]: "It was great craic [fishing this weekend]" is synonymous with "It was a good time" or "it was a lot of fun [fishing this weekend]." "We had good craic [at the pub]" is generally synonymous with something along the lines of "We had great conversation and enjoyed each other's company [at the pub]."
