Go to Clonakily and stay at least two nighs if only to go to DeBarra's - famous for their live music!!!!! And have a pint beforehand at the Stone Kilty....Kevin the owner is a funny, helpful and sweet guy. Whatever it's music!
If you like to drink like I do, make sure you bring enough money because it can get expensive. Also, They don't sell alcohol in the normal markets. You have to go to an off-licence and they close early, and are closed on holidays when you need a drink the most. At the pubs, you can buy alcohol to go. Some pubs close pretty early, but you can go to a "Wine Bar" that is like an after hours. It cost about $30.00 or more for a bottle of wine.
This definitely was my favourite pasttime in Ireland: going to a pub and listen to their live music! We saw various combinations ranging from one person (banjo and vocals) to two people (banjo and fiddle) to three people (banjo, fiddle and accordeon) to up to 6 people (with additional guitar and flute).They usually sit on one of the tables, have a microphone hooked up, a pint of beer in front of them and off they go! It really is a great experience!
When in Ireland you will just have to go to a pub or two or three - that's what it is all about! I especially enjoyed the traditional pubs with the old wooden bar, copper pots and utensils all over the place and people chatting and having a beer (or two or three...). Some pubs have life music, others have TV screens (especially for sports watching) and oftentimes you will be surprised of the size of a place, because there will be more rooms in the back or on various levels or so!Just go inside and explore!
Temple Bar collects people from all over the world. In that crazy atmospher everybody feels unity with all strangers who becomes friends for one evening. Life consist of moments and people who fills even one of them makes your life more colourfull. casual
The GATE THEATRE has a fantastic programm ---- some of it's annual festivals are of course in hommage to Samuel Beckett....In 1991, the Gate Theatre held the first Beckett Festival, producing all 19 of Samuel Beckett?s stage plays. It then toured to the Lincoln Center, New York in 1996 where New York Post saw it as ?a once-in-a-lifetime chance to take a comprehensive overview of one of the major dramatists in the last half of the 20th century?. It was subsequently invited to the Barbican Centre, London in 1999.This April, the Gate will play a major role in Ireland?s celebrations to mark the centenary of Samuel Beckett?s birth, producing a selection of Beckett?s stage plays, presented simultaneously at the Gate and the Barbican Centre. The programme includes new productions of Endgame, Rockaby, Ohio Impromptu, Play, Catastrophe, Footfalls and Come and Go; reprisals of the world-renowned...
heh..let's just say every block you walk you pass about 40 pubs. And I don't remember the rest of them..hehehe. You do have to be atleast 18 to enter and drink. Cork is rather dangerous at night like any big city but it seemed safe walking close to the River Lee at the time....even pissing in it because we couldn't find a bathroom fast enough...SSHHH don't say anything !This pub offered karaoke at the beginning of the night. It was mostly a younger crowd but not rowdy. After karaoke it was constant dancing all night long. The Black Bush whiskey was amazing !!! Did you just get through jogging around? Come in! I noticed it was a hot spot but not necessarily a dress to impress kind of jig though .No one was a stranger there! Go during St. Patty's WEEK and you'll find all kinds of drunken surprises waiting inside for you. >wink<
Dingle Twon on the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry is a "hot" bed for the revival of Traditional Irish Music. If you are planning a trip to Ireland you must focus on the Sourthwest and West of Ireland and be sure to fly into Shannon which is so much closer.Dingle has many great Pubs that play Traditional Irish music all year long. You can start at Dick Mack's, Green St. and go on to Droichead Beag (Little Bridge) lower Main St., Flaherty's Pub gets full fast, and then settle for awhile at John Moriarty's Pub by the waterfront on Strand St., take last call at MacCarthy's Pub on Goat St. or Upper Main St. One of the best ullean pipe's player in Ireland is located in Dingle, Eoin Duigan, a real treat to catch him and the other locals making the rounds at the Pubs along with you. I heard him play in 1996 and again in 2005. Still doesn't miss a note of his magical pipes and...
The Magic Carpet is an old bar, located within walking distance from my father in laws house. We went to a few bars, but we did a lot of our drinking at home. I just remember the Magic Carpet because it was really old, kind of 70's style, a little run down and ratty, but I liked it! It was casual, a good place to have a few drinks, hang out with the locals and it was unpretentious, plus we did not have to drive!! Casual, anything goes....jeans and tshirt type of place, or you can dress a little nicer if you wanted to I guess.
Unfortunately I have forgotten the streetname but you will be able to find it when you ask anyone!Great pub with live Irish music on the second floor and a reataurant on the third floor.And another good thing is that this pub did not close until 02:30 instead of the usual 23:30!!
