The World Famous Irish House Party Show in Dublin.

An unmissable experience in the heart of Dublin! Created as something of a revolt by Irish musicians against the cheesy and the twee, The Irish House Party Show in Dublin is live traditional Irish music and Irish dancing at its very best. Lap up the pure talent of these All Ireland champion musicians, dancers and entertaining presenters. Voted as one of the top ten things to do in Dublin year after year. Pre-show dinner option is also available.

Excellent dinner and show; awkward for the solo traveler. A score of 4.5 would be more accurate. I was traveling solo so I wanted to do something in the evening around other folks to feel safe. This was in a very nice part of Dublin. Very charming boutique hotel. My dinner was excellent. The show was beyond excellent. My only complaint is that I was seated by myself removed from everyone else because I was solo. I kind of felt like I was being punished. May I suggest that when there is a solo traveler to seat them near other folks that they may have conversation with. I was unable to do that. The nearest two tables to me were speaking in a different language. However, I do know that there were other travelers that were American there. Not very hospitable in that regard. An oversight, I’m sure. Just something to think about for the solo traveler.
Audrey R6/03/2025The best nights music & craic! 😆 It had been such a long time since we had been back to see the Irish House Party. - My husband surprised me for my Birthday! 😁We love this Irish trad music! It was an amazing night! Great music and craic! We laughed and clapped all night! 🤣 The best night out! 😄We were really pleased that we got to see the musician's that we had always seen before - Gerry, beautiful Aiden & Eammon all excellent musician's and we also had the privilege to see beautiful Erin from Lord of the Dance - an amazing talented Irish Dancer. 🤩We loved all the music, the instruments and the dancing. 😍Gerry keeps the craic going all night! 😆Eammon as well and he can play so many different instruments. Aiden plays the harp so beautifully with her own composition. They are all so talented and lovely people - very friendly and they really engage with the audience the whole night! 😄Can't wait to go back again - I'll be wearing my T- Shirt! 🤩Thank you very much Gerry, Aiden & Eammon for your kindness ❤️

The real deal Irish trad music and dance Go. To. This. Show. Such a wonderful experience of traditional Irish music plus an incredible sprinkling of solo Irish dance. We saw Gerry (host/guitar/bodhran), Nadine (fiddle/harp), Kieran (fiddle/dance), and Angus (banjo/bouzouki), who are part of a rotating group of world-class and award-winning musicians and dancers, and they put on a fantastic show. Intimate space, fun banter, tremendous talent. Up close and exciting. And worth mentioning again: extremely talented artists. Kind of amazing to have the chance to see them all in one place.Highly recommended!! Great craic. Book it.
ChristieR35/13/2025Fantastic Evening in Dublin! Fantastic evening in Dublin! The music and dancing were lovely and the location was good! Highly recommend if you want to experience traditional Irish music.
Clinton Q5/09/2025Surprisingly entertaining! To be honest, this was better than I was expecting. I was traveling with my mom so I figured this would be a just nice wholesome evening, but I ended up having a blast! The show itself was awesome, the guys were all hilarious, the music and dancing was great, the stories were so fun, there were fun interactive bits, just a great night overall! The dinner wasn’t anything particularly amazing but still tasty, and served in a fascinating room.

Top Ierse ervaring Volledige Ierse ervaring. Uitleg muziekinstrumenten, dans en humor. Topmuzikanten met soort elleboogdoedelzak achtig iets. Was heel informeel en knus.

Dinner okay, Entertainment top notch. Took the dinner/show experience. Dinner was very good but only three choices for starter, main and only one dessert. beverages extra. service slow but seemed to be calculated to fit the 8pm show. Two hours was a bit long for our dinner for two but the soups and beef stew were wonderful. The show gave this a 5 star rating. All four performers were extremely talented and entertaining and it was a far better experience then we expected. The Irish dancer was wonderful and the Irish folk songs and music was such fun!
chicagotoots4/27/2025Fantastic Irish show and great food The food was excellent, we took the salad, the Guinness stew and pints of Smithwick's. The brownie dessert was delicious. We ordered drinks to take with us to the show downstairs. We loved the Irish show! Great songs with harp, bodhrán, fiddle, concertina, guitar and banjo. Fantastic traditional dancing. We took a walk to get to the show at the Lansdowne hotel, through lovely Merrion Square and we got to see the Oscar Wilde statue and The Joker's chair. It was easy getting a Taxi outside the hotel after the show.
Christine4/25/2025Great first night in Dublin! The music and instruments were traditional with outstanding musicians playing, and explanations of each of the instruments. The dancer was very Professional. Would have liked maybe a couple more dancers but probably the stage is too small for that. Overall, outstanding!

The Show
At last an Irish music and dance show in Dublin without the clichés that usually follow. Not a flat cap, leprechaun or waistcoat in sight but instead, incredibly talented musicians and dancers bringing to you the sound and fun of Ireland. All served up with a delicious three course home-style dinner. (Be sure to try the Dublin Coddle!)
