Filed under: Live Music Bands
Iam going to Dublin and would love to have a good Irish stew,also would love to go to a pub with a live band playing Irish music???
Why not go to the Highest pub in Ireland, Johnnie Foxes in the Dublin mountains. They have live music on most nights and a huge menu. You can actually e-mail the chef if there is something you would like to ask for..! Check out the link the site says more than i ever could, I would recommend this place to anyone visiting dublin..
Enjoy..

Theres lots of little pubs down the side streets that have irish music and a log fire. Theres a huge pub on the corner before you go in2 the town (sorry I cant remember the name) it has a loud bar/nightclub upstairs and a live band down stairs, they have irish dancers on too, and provide fresh homemade broth, sorry I dont know anywhere that does the stew.

The guinness Stew in the Guinness Storehouse (at the top, at the end of the tour) is excellent. Brought 3 foreign friends there and they loved it.

You really need to get out of Dublin for that. It’s there, probably in Temple Bar, complete with the Temple Bar prices (bring smelling salts), but I would suggest getting on the train and heading down to Galway or Limerick instead.

HOWTH The cleanest food in the whole country, but very expensive
I remember we paid 100euro for 4 people, with the half you can eat in the city center but what I really believe "You always get what you pay"
Live pub in the country side mostly. In Dublin the most of the music is nasty brit pop all the same 3 chords, but I guess there would be trad pubs for the Irish

I go for sunday lunch and drinks..
It is not easy to get Irish stew - a pal of mine recommends O’Shea’s Merchant Hotel on Merchant’s Quay. It is very near the famous Brazen Head pub, a good place for trad music sessions. However, you won’t find great live sessions in Dublin - you need to travel to the west or south-west of Ireland for those!

o neills on suffolk street for the music

The Hairy Lemon off Grafton Street (near St Stephens green shopping centre) serve stew, as does the Porter house in Parliament street, they also have music on a Friday night, and possible all other nights too.
I think there is a trad music festival on at the minute, so you should have music everywhere, (but I thinks its over this week) For music try The Cobblestones in Smithfield, of the Merchant on the Quays, that pub is in a different time zone, its worth a look….

You cant beat Gallaghers Boxty House in Temple Bar for the best homemade Irish stew and lots of other tasty delights, you must finish it off with bread&butter pudding with rum&raisin ice-cream with a shot of rum!! mmmmm delicious.
Live music in most pubs nearby too.

Iv been going there for years
Hi, I know many members are beginning to post suggestion on lively pubs over at WhoseView.ie - site launching in next week, but many private members have given good suggestions e.g. Sheehans and Mulligans
stay out of dublin its a rip off ,and the musicians in the sessions are only putting in their time to get paid .the good spontanious sessions are in the country towns and can only be found if you ask a local for direction , go north up around the border areas Monaghan and south Armagh. thats where the music is . as to irish stew make your own ,the stuff you ll buy out is not even made with lamb .if you get beef in stew its not irish.

temple bar is the beast place but you should also try johnny fox’s (the highest pub in ireland!) and the goat grill in goatstown. you can go pretty much anywhere but if your looking for music go to temple bar there is usually live music on there oh and whelans as well has music every night.

you should find them both in this place.

Try the Arlington Hotel in Temple Bar, they do a mouth watering Irish Stew and also offer a riverdance style Irish Show
Just had a delicious Traditional Irish stew and Beef and Guinnes casserole in Oliver St. john Gogarty pub in Temple bar yesterday. Only 12.95 euro with brown bread and fresh chips. You won’t be hungry for the next 12 houres because the plates are big and well filled !
