What To Expect
This Dublin Traditional Irish Musical Pub Crawl is a fun, engaging, and informative evening of Irish culture. It’s led by two Irish musicians who provide an overview of the importance of music in Irish culture. There is a live performance at each stop you make. Drinks aren’t included with the tour (but may be purchased at your own expense); however, this tour does provide seating in private rooms at the pubs visited that night. Seats are extremely hard to come by in Dublin’s bustling pubs, and this is a special treat.
There are two evening tour times to choose from when booking and both begin in central Dublin. The earlier tour finishes at Flanagan’s for dinner, and the later tour ends at Brannigan’s off O’Connell Street. The musicians are your guides for the evening, and everyone walks together to the two pubs on the tour. A musical Dinner Show with Irish Dancing and a three-course meal is available at weekends.

Great stories told about Irish tunes and songs, Irish instruments and their history. Beautiful music. Very participatory but in a good way. Many laughs and a few tears.
My partner sang beautifully with Brenda and Stephen for a song!
Great unique experience!

This tour was a great way to hear different traditional Irish music. It was fun to learn the lyrics and sing along!
An enjoyable evening

It was an enjoyable evening with good song, dance, music, and a three course dinner. It was also interesting to chat to fellow attendees at the table, people coming from different places and countries.
Great time, would recommend!

The group was fun, friendly and gracious! We had a blast. Some history, great music and laughter with good food. Come hungry and ready for some great entertainment. We did stay at one pub, so not really a pub crawl.
Great time!

So much fun and so talented! We learned a lot and had great company. The first pub was Ha’Penny and the second was Flanagan, both very nice.
I was unable to go on this tour because of the Covid virus.

I was unable to go on this tour because of the Covid virus. Viator was very helpful and they refunded almost 100% of the tours that we had planned.
If you love music, do this!

Absolutely loved this experience! Our musicians were the best! I would do this tour again. Absolutely loved the history they shared about traditional Irish music.
Great music and musicians
Smaro, Feb 2020
Great experience. Great fun with the two musicians. Excellent voices and music. I would recommend it to all. Two pubs would hardly qualify for a pub crawl, though. Nevertheless, it is worth it. We learned something about Irish culture and learned a couple of songs.

Fantastic evening was had by all. Larry and Stephen were excellent guides and very informative about the history of Irish music as well as being hugely entertaining. I would have no hesitation in recommending this as a great night out.

Wonderful, fun and interactive tour with great traditional, "Irish acoustic" musicians. We had a great time.
Give me more.
Stefan_M, Jan 2020
A tad too much chat and laughter. I wanted more music, which was fantastic. Superb quality fiddle and the rest, thank you.
Excellent!

This is pretty much the perfect way to kick off your first night in Dublin. It’s the exact right mix of music, cultural history and humor to immerse yourself. Afterward you’re going to feel more comfortable pub crawling on your own, singing along with the live music and really enjoying your time there. These guys are great! We had a time we won’t soon forget. Cheers!
fun!

Very talented musicians played all kinds of songs. I wish we had stayed at one pub though and just enjoyed the music.
Glad we took the tour
Torben_S, Nov 2019
Informative and nice tour, but the last stop was not a pub, it was a restaurant. Very good music and nice with the River-dance performance.
Great night out
Fern_H, Nov 2019
Great night out experiencing and learning about traditional irish music. The guys kept everyone entertained all night with music, jokes, tales and musical info
Awesome. Highly recommend.
Maura_M, Nov 2019
Larry and Boomer were excellent. Tied in a lot of Irish history with the music. Pubs were nice. Provided a sort of private setting for a tour of about 30.
A fun evening
Joseph_M, Nov 2019
This was a fun evening with great music. I think that offering the opportunity to arrive early and purchase a meal and drink at the first bar (The meeting place), would have been a great option the we would have enjoyed.
Great experience
Judith_L, Nov 2019
We were 6 girls and enjoyed the show a lot. Great music, good stories, relaxed atmosphere -- be sure you expect what's descriped -- and when you like that, go for it!
Thanks, guys, great job! :)
