Dublin Traditional Irish House Party including Dinner and Show

Dublin, Ireland

Welcome to the party! A traditional Irish house party is the perfect introduction to Dublin, with great entertainment and a warm and friendly atmosphere. You'll enjoy good food, local musicians, storytellers and dancing on an evening out that's unlike any other you'll experience in Dublin.

The Irish House Party is Dublin's unmissable Irish music and dance show. Now in its fourth successful year it is hosted by All Ireland champion musicians, dancers and entertaining presenters in an intimate and homely dinner theater setting.

No Irish house party is complete without a good meal beforehand and you will be served a delicious three-course Irish dinner. Once you have finished your meal, the music, singing and dancing begins.

The show is suitable for all ages, and families with children are welcome. You can take part in the entertainment as much as you like, or simply sit back in comfortable surroundings and enjoy:

• A presentation about traditional music and Irish writers
• A live traditional music session
• storytelling
• Learning a song in the Irish language with a songbook
• Trying some simple Irish dancing
• The house party piece, where you can perform something yourself!

Nice evening out , food ok not the best choice but tasted fine, a nice introduction to irish music and dance.

Review by: Henry	February 2012
Nice time and food was quite good. Drinks were about same price as other pubs in area. The show was very good but a little short-about an hour.

A super evening. Well worth getting drenched for. Just a warning though for anyone disabled there is no lift ,but there are 2 flights of stairs.

Nice show with traditional music and dancing.

Review by: Diane E	October 2011
Originally I was only going to sign up for the entertainment, but others had made positive comments about the dinner, so I decided to do both. The food was great and the entertainment was brilliant! My only complaint is that I wish the music had gone on a little longer :) Nice experience!

We have been to several Irish Dinner shows so have some comparison. The food was good, but the music should have been during the dinner also not just at the end. The music was good just not enough of it. The tour groups got good seats and we sat under the stairs with a minimal view. The bar tab was padded and we spent a good bit of time getting charges removed for bottles of wine we never ordered. We have been to better shows for the money.

We did not do the dinner, only the show. AND Show was awesome!!! Just what we needed to get us into the "Irish" mood of our trip. We all left wishing it was a little longer.

Review by: Sharon W	August 2011

wonderful show with mediocre food.

Review by: Kimmy	August 2011
I was greeted by the organizer and led into the party room. The tables were full, the food was delicious and the entertainment was fantastic!

Review by: BeeJay	August 2011
This was not a party, it was a concert. There was no violin (see picture)! It was not a dance, it was one girl doing steps. Also, we were dismayed that no one told us the busses wouldn't stop for us, especially since stops were on the schedule. There were many other establishments that advertised Irish dancing closer to Dublin's center city; this was a really long walk.

Great start to a visit to Dublin. The food was okay, but the entertainment was better. The location was a bit out of the way.

Review by: neil H	July 2011
Excellent night. Good act of musicians and dancer. Tasty food. Very welcoming and obliging staff. I will re visit, next time over.

Must do when in Ireland.

Review by: Michael H	July 2011
Awesome evening. Great interactive entertainment. Would certainly recommend it to any South Africans visiting Dublin. Hiron family from Durban, South Africa

Review by: Susan P	July 2011
Excellent way to spend an evening. Great food and the music and dancing was a lot of fun.

Review by: Kevin M	July 2011
Outstanding food and company. The members of the music band were awesome, especially the dancer, worth the time, very relaxing first night in Ireland.

Review by: ANTHONY K	July 2011
position switched at last minute to Arlington hotel in city centre on arrival at first appointed hotel,so $17 taxi fare unnecessary.But the eventual evening at Arlington Hotel was very good.

Review by: Cristi P	June 2011
I recommend this to everyone visiting Ireland for the first time. The singer had a beautiful voice and they ask for volunteers to dance. My friends and I danced and had a blast! Of course, it wasn't forced on anyone that wanted to relax, watch and have a good laugh.

Review by: Michael H	June 2011
Full marks for a most entertaining evening. We loved the comedy, the stories, the music and the traditional dance. With a choice of meals the evening should have been longer.._br/_ The only moan with our four day visit is Ireland is very expensive.

Review by: Anonymous	June 2011
would recommend this irish house party, dinner was lovely and music and show very enjoyable

Review by: William K	June 2011
Great show. Very entertaining and lots of good times. One note, f you have any talents you will be expected to "perform"...part of the party. Practice up on your Irish dancing techniques. Food was good, location easy to find.

Review by: ygodden	May 2011
Entertaintment wonderful. The musicans and dancer first class. The dinner just ordinary._br/_ Poor quality food, soup lukewarm, main meal over salty and dessert thrown together.

Review by: Maggie	May 2011
Best Irish party ever! The performers were great!

Review by: Elizabeth B	March 2011
Last event of our trip - waste of money in the fact you can get good entertainment in the local pubs for a lot less._br/_ Staff at the hotel were excellent.

Review by: Brenda M	March 2011
Fantastic, great night, good food, good entertainment, would recommend to anyone.

DON'T MISS THIS PARTY. THE HIGHLIGHT OF OUR TRIP

Review by: Anonymous, Canada	May 2010
This was an incredible experience. The food was okay but the entertainment was great.

Review by: Jeff M, United States of America	March 2010
The show was terrific. The performers were very personable and made everyone feel at home. The singing, dancing, instrrument playing and story telling were top notch. If you want to get to know the music and culture of Ireland, I highly recommend this show.

Review by: Jason B, Germany	March 2010
We had a wonderful time! The music, food, and host did a great job!

Review by: Leah A, Australia	February 2010
Great food and great entertainment. I had a wonderful evening out and recommend this to everyone who wanys an irish experience, it was great that they involved the audience too.

Review by: Jeffrey L, United Kingdom	December 2009
It was surprisingly most enjoyable evening. The meal ambiance was a little "unsociable" as tables could have been more user friendly as we were stuck in a corner out of the way. The entertainers and our host were in good form and very informative. A pleasant night out.

Review by: David J, United States of America	December 2009
Top notch all the way around. Try the excellent Irish Stew. Entertainment was professional yet still made everyone feel at home. Nice balance of songs, dancing, storytelling and audience participation. Will book this again on our next trip.

Review by: Rita S, United States of America	September 2009
Phenomenal musicians with a sense of humor too!

Review by: Scott H, United States of America	September 2009
Phenomenal. Great story telling, food and music. A funny and witty history lesson of Irish music and dancing. Intimate setting, sure beats going to a play.

Review by: Anonymous, Hungary	September 2009
There were only a few people but the band was excellent, it is a great fun, simply go there. Do not take the food, it is a shame and horribly expensive compared to the local restaurants. The hotel staff were very poor!

Review by: Jacqueline P, United Kingdom	August 2009
A really fun night out which ended too soon! The staff were really friendly and helpful, and I would definitely recommend this trip to others to experience a little bit of the real Irish spirit.

Review by: Terence P, United Kingdom	August 2009
Two excellent musicians but maybe too many clients, lots signing up on the night, the rooms got a bit crowded!

Review by: William B, United Arab Emirates	August 2009
Fantastic- best part of the whole trip!

Review by: Elizabeth F, United States of America	August 2009
Come prepared to sing and dance! Don't miss this to really get a feel for Ireland and it's people.
