Ireland's pubs have served as gathering places for traditional music for generations, preserving a living tradition that continues in rooms where musicians still tune their fiddles, tin whistles, accordions, and bodhrán drums. These establishments range from converted 17th-century cottages with thatched roofs to Victorian-era taverns with original woodwork, each maintaining the practice of regular sessions where locals and visitors alike can hear the music passed down through centuries. Across the country, from Belfast's Kelly's Cellars, operating since 1720, to Galway's Tigh Neachtain in the medieval quarter, these venues host musicians who gather weekly or nightly to play together. Some, like Leo's Tavern in Donegal, have direct connections to internationally known artists, while others, such as Clarke & Sons in Drogheda, have remained in the same family for over a century. Whether in Dublin's Temple Bar with its daily performances starting at noon, or in smaller establishments like O'Loclainn's in Ballyvaughan where weekend sessions accompany a collection of 500 Irish whiskeys, these pubs offer direct access to Ireland's musical heritage in settings that have changed little over the decades.
