Traditional Irish Musical Pub Crawl

1.Traditional Irish Musical Pub Crawl

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,787 reviews · 2 hours 15 minutes (approx.) · from $31Our pick

Join Irish musicians for a moving concert through two Dublin pubs. Guides such as Kevin, Booster, Brenda, and Steven may lead songs, stories, instrument lessons, and singalongs. You get reserved seating, live music, and English commentary, while drinks and food are bought separately.

“It was a fun evening with interesting insights into the music and Irish culture. The music was great and I would have actually enjoyed more music and less talking. Going to two pubs was fun, but I think just staying at one pub would be enjoyable too since really I was hoping for a couple of hours of authentic Irish music in a designated group setting.”
