One of the must-visit attraction in Dublin! There’s music gathering every day, which they’re not merely musicians but a bunch of friends using music as a social tool to bond🥹 The concept is so sincere, rather than a formal performance. Yet, still create the unique vibe🤩🤩

The best place in Dublin for authentic traditional Irish music. No frills, just great atmosphere, friendly locals, and top-quality sessions. A must-visit if you want to experience the real soul of the city. Also, one of the cheapest beer in my few days in Dublin (6.7 eur if I am not wrong).

Probably the best pub we visited in Dublin. A hidden gem and local hotspot. The drinks were delicious and ambience incredible. Live music which local musicians played and sang from the heart-no music to read from! While the pub was small, it afforded us a chance to meet nearly everyone sitting around us. No food served allowed for greater conversation with patrons over great pints and superb Irish music! Truly a big highlight of our travels.

The Cobblestone in Smithfield is an absolute gem and a must-visit for an authentic Dublin experience. Known as a "drinking pub with a music problem," it boasts incredible, live traditional Irish music every night in a cozy, welcoming setting. With friendly staff, great pints, and a genuine local atmosphere, it is far superior to the tourist traps in Temple
