Enjoyable night
The food choices were more than expected, and food overall. The musicians were good and the dancers were excellent. My only regret is that they didn't tell us more about the songs they played, regions and history in particular. Also the video screens were a bit blurry because of the lighting on the stage. But overall still an enjoyable night .

So much fun!
So much fun! The food was great , the service was even better and the entertainment was top tier. We had a great time and my mom has mobility issues and uses a rollator and they couldn’t have been nicer to her as we manuevered downstairs and through the dining room.

A lovely Celtic night
We spent a couple of hours there, sitting down and choosing our dishes before the dancing began. The musicians began by explaining how Celtic music is created, and then there were various dances and pieces of music that I’d never experienced live before. A few guests even chose to take part in the show. The food was good, the portions just right, and the service very efficient considering the venue was fully booked. As a first-time experience, I can only recommend it. Best for couple and small parties.

Overall we really enjoyed...
Overall we really enjoyed the show. The food was fine for the most part. But the service was not the best. We didn’t have the best waiter and the server seemed to be more interested in other tables and was slow in coming back to our table.

Ireland experience
Food was excellent and service was good. Band was good and dancers were excellent. I wish it had been a little less crowded.

Dublin: Celtic Nights with Irish Dinner, Music & Dance Show: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dublin.
How much does Dublin: Celtic Nights with Irish Dinner, Music & Dance Show cost?
+
Prices start at $82 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dublin usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Dublin: Celtic Nights with Irish Dinner, Music & Dance Show take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dublin is not rushed.
Is Dublin: Celtic Nights with Irish Dinner, Music & Dance Show worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 58 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Dublin, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Dublin: Celtic Nights with Irish Dinner, Music & Dance Show?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Dublin: Celtic Nights with Irish Dinner, Music & Dance Show suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Dublin: Celtic Nights with Irish Dinner, Music & Dance Show?
+
Around 20 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dublin can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dublin and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dublin: Celtic Nights with Irish Dinner, Music & Dance Show start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dublin within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Dublin?
+
On Outty we rank every Dublin experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dublin to Belfast Titanic Dunluce Castle Giants Causeway Tour, Dublin to Belfast Black Cab: Dunluce Castle and Giant's Causeway, Dublin to Cliffs of Moher, including Wild Atlantic Way and Galway. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Dublin?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Dublin?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Dublin: Celtic Nights with Irish Dinner, Music & Dance Show?
+

Where is the meeting point for Dublin: Celtic Nights with Irish Dinner, Music & Dance Show?
+
