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.

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!

All right! I just regretted not being able to dance... Delicious meals but mood music a little loud. Great concert! We liked that they made the audience sing and the explanations about the instruments
Danièle S4/17/2025A craic-ing night! Firstly there was a delicious 3 course dinner with a choice of starters and mains, held in the dining room upstairs (separate tables for diners).Then around 8pm we went to the basement and listened to a variety of tunes and songs by four talented genuine musicians. Plus a display of Irish dancing which was amazing. It was a great night and you have the chance to drink in the bar before and afterwards.

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!)
