Excellent way for a visitor to discover real Irish music and dance for the first time, plenty of explaining and even a bit of participation. Really lovely friendly presentation by the musicians and dancer. Music was utterly joyful. Plus recommendations of where to find the real thing if planning to try to find more authentic music later in the evening. We did the one with the meal, great value. First pub is great, the real thing. The second place they acknowledged isn't really an Irish pub and the food was generic (school dinner like) but catered to all tastes I suppose (lots of Americans in the audience), and this is a tourist event after all. Highly recommended overall.

I read about this tour in a travel guide I purchased and it was hands down the best thing we did in Dublin. We enjoyed listening to the two men play and share about Irish music. The are incredibly talented musicians and did a great job of involving the audience. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Dublin.

We started upstairs at a pub called Ha Penny Bridge Inn. We enjoyed some Irish tunes and songs. After spending a while there we all walked to the next pub called Flannigans where we were offered several options for dinner. The food was good and plentiful. We ordered our drinks from the bar. We enjoyed more music and Irish dancing. Overall it was a very fun and entertaining evening. After Flannigans some people from our group walked to other pubs recommended by the musicians but the official tour ended after Flannigans.

Lots of fun and our musicians (sorry don't remember their names) shared not only their musical talents but also stories behind the instruments and songs. Informative, funny and relaxing. The 1st part of the evening is at the Ha'Penny Bridge Inn pub where the beer was cold and the space big enough to accommodate us all (maybe 40 people in total?). The 2nd part, where dinner was served, was in the basement of Flanagan's, a place across the Liffey - quarters were a little tight but the food was good and overly plentiful, and there was an Irish dancer (who had been the coordinator at the 1st place). It was a fun way to cap off our 1st night in Ireland before we crashed and burned from a long flight followed by 6 hours of seeing as much of Dublin as we could. Recommend. FYI, cost of beer is not included in purchase price.

This was recommended to us from a friend who had participated a couple of years prior. I expected a night of music, but what we received instead was an evening at home with friends. Seriously! Booster and Niall created such an intimate experience with not just music, but stories, Irish history, some laughs and invited guest interaction. We would absolutely go again next time we are in Dublin. (Wish I'd been less engaged, and thought to bring out my phone to take a couple of pics. Oh well, next time!)

This was a good intro to traditional Irish music and the musicians were great. The two pubs we went to for drinks and dinner are nice venues and the dinner accommodated our dietary needs. Note that this is aimed at tourists. We weren't able to continue into the nighttime sessions.

Very talented musicians sharing alot of good music and information about instruments and songs. The Irish dancer was just charming! A most excellent meal at Flanagans! Such a fun night.

Loved the music and it was well worth the cost of the night.Not only heard great Irish music but learned about different musical instruments. Would do it again if I was in Ireland.
