I have friends coming over from England next weekend and they really want to go to good Trad Session in Dublin City Centre. Can anyone recommend one for Sat March 6th, staying in the City Centre. Thanks.
Stay well away, it's horrendous unless you're coming for a hen/stag. I was dragged in once to meet some mates who were over on a hen, awful tripe altogether. It is lively though I'll give it that and it's always full.
Is it McHughs that's beside the old motor tax office on chancery street behind the four courts? That's supposed to have a very good session, handy to luas stop also.
Not city centre and I may be out of date here, but upstairs in Slatterys, Rathmines used to have a brilliant if slightly chaotic session on (I think) a Monday night.
McHuges of Chancery St, behind the FourCourts as aforementioned for an authentic trad session- every night as far as I'm aware from about 9pm...
Also new bar on Capel street-McNeills a small cozy but really cool little pub with a couple of fireplaces-near where the luas track crosses Capel st-not sure what nights the session is but it's really good-only thing is they are a bit precious sometimes and you can be frowned upon for talking during the music so...may not be to everyones liking!you also may need to get there early to get seats..
