TempleBar Tradfest: It's no surprise that this place has been going for over 160 years. They've won the Irish Music pub of the year 8 years running, staffs are really & full of info. Make sure you try their oysters!
Cearúilín Ni Riain: Dating back to 1198, the Brazen Head is Ireland's oldest pub. It is well worth a visit for both its historical value and reputation as one of Dublin's best Irish music venues.
