Could have been better.
The music and banter at the first pub, Ha'penny Bridge Inn, was good but the session felt very short. Unfortunately, the experience was not as good as it could have been due to a incredibly rude bartender. We didn't attend the music session at the second pub.

Fun while learning, the stories were great
A true Irish experience. I learned so much from the storytelling.

It was a fun, interactive...
It was a fun, interactive & entertaining evening! Enjoyed the stories, the musicians skill in playing their instruments and above all the fun time they created for us as a group of strangers coming together. Both pubs were provided a good atmosphere and we stayed at second place for delicious Lamb Stew! The experience was a perfect beginning to our Irish vacation.

What Fun!
This musical tour was the best. What talent the two gentlemen have in singing, and the variety of Irish instruments they played. The Irish music was fantastic and their sense of humor was an added bonus to the experience. Highly recommend this tour if you are lucky enough to get the two men we saw.

Wonderful sampling of music, and history.
Very enthusiastic, talented and entertaining duo led the pub crawl to two pubs with brilliant music with education re history, instruments, music. Couldn’t be better!

Why this scores 78
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Traditional Irish Musical Pub Crawl: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dublin.
How much does Traditional Irish Musical Pub Crawl cost?
+
Prices start at €26 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 Traditional Irish Musical Pub Crawl take?
+
Plan for about 2.3 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 Traditional Irish Musical Pub Crawl worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 1,915 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Dublin, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Traditional Irish Musical Pub Crawl?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Traditional Irish Musical Pub Crawl suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Traditional Irish Musical Pub Crawl?
+
Around 670 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 2.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Traditional Irish Musical Pub Crawl 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.

Not included: Gratuities; Food and drinks, unless specified; and Hotel pickup and drop off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Traditional Irish Musical Pub Crawl?
+
Meet upstairs in the Ha'penny Bridge Inn Pub in Temple Bar Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Traditional Irish Musical Pub Crawl offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

+
