15 Best Dublin Pub Crawls

The pub crawls Dublin invented: the musical version with working musicians between the pints and the literary one drinking where Joyce and Behan did. Both formats still run best in their birthplace.

1.Traditional Irish Musical Pub Crawl

Experience authentic Irish music on this two-hour Dublin pub crawl led by professional musicians, with reserved seating and lively storytelling.
