9 places to enjoy live music in Dublin

It’s back with a bang!

We’ve missed a lot over the last two years, but one thing in particular has been the lad in the corner of a bar belting out trad songs while we all sing along. Glasses are clinked, toes are tapped and if you’re lucky, someone will whip out a pair of spoons and bounce them along to the beat. It’s one of our favourite things about the pub – the potential of stumbling across a wee session just makes a night out so much more exciting. If you’re in Dublin for the weekend wondering where to head for a bitta live music, we’ve compiled a list:

The Cobblestone, Smithfield

The glory days are back with live trad music every evening of the week at this Dublin 7 spot. Hup!
