Music and Pubs

On our last night in Dublin we decided to walk over to O’Donoghue’s Pub to listen to a traditional Irish music set. My cousin Josh has been here multiple times and loved it. At 8:30 the music started and it was good but there wasn’t any singing. It was a five piece instrumental set.

Crowded pub interior with musicians playing flute and guitar at a corner table while patrons listen and drink pints amid walls covered in framed portraits.

We were looking for something a bit more sing-along so headed back to the Temple Bar where another couple musicians were just getting setup and let a raucus first set of a wide variety of tunes. Not as traditional as we were hoping for, but still very fun. What a fun way to wrap up our last night in Dublin.

Two musicians perform at The Temple Bar pub in Dublin, one playing acoustic guitar and singing, the other playing violin.
