Heart of the metropolis

Nightlife is what Doolin became famous for. I first struck on this village by accident many years ago. In those days the pubs openly flouted the drinking laws.

I remember standing in one of the pubs at 4 O’clock in the morning, when the Barman refused to serve me as it was “well after hours”. He did add however that he could do an off-Licence sale. I enquired further if you could thus exit the pub, and re-enter to consume my purchases. This seemed quite in order to him.

All three of Doolin’s pubs plan regular Irish music nights, usually every night. Even if nothing is planned musicians will often just strike up unannounced and play or jam together. It’s not exactly a hardship in an evening to visit all three of the pubs and get a feel for what’s going on.

Mc Gann also has the traditional Irish Music evenings. We didn’t go there when we were in Doolin, but we heard people speaking about the good evening that they had there.

In Mc Ganns, you also can eat and the locals recommended this place above Gus O’Connors.

Allmost every pub in town: Traditional Irish Music

All most every pub in town has traditional Irish Music on the program. When you walk around and see the signs outside the pubs, you see that they all advertise traditional Irish music in the evenings.

Mostly the musicians start around 9h30 and if you want to have a seat, you have two options, come early or stay late.

You can also hop from one pub to another, although in Doolin the pubs are located far from each other to hop over.

It's a geat evening of fun.
