It has often been said, that it is impossible to cross Dublin without passing a pub. And what better way to experience the Irish culture than to visit the local pubs. The Dublin pub scene includes places that are not simply places to satisfy your thirst. They are theatres for storytelling, backdrops for romance, homes away from home and keepers of the spirit of the city, in more ways than one.
Here is only a taste of the pubs that you will come across throughout Dublin.
Taylors Three Rock Bar
Taylors Irish Night offers a highly entertaining live performance of traditional
Irish music, ballads and Irish dancing in a pub atmosphere. It has been
described as "easily one of the best pub nights out to be had in Dublin" by
the official Dublin pub guide. It all takes place at Taylors Three Rock,
Rathfarnham under the largest thatched roof in Ireland.
