Top 10 Evening Experiences in Ireland

1.Belvedere Irish Night Show, Dance and Traditional 3-Course Dinner

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,171 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $56Our pick

Dublin’s Belvedere Irish Night pairs a live Irish music and dance show with a 3-course meal in an intimate room, plus audience participation.

“Up close Irish dance and music experience! The musicians and dancers are all professionals who play and dance with passion. The 3 course dinner provided several choices for each course to cater to all tastes. The show was interactive, with audience participation in singing and clapping, and even a part for volunteers to go on stage and learn a simple dance. As a person who LOVES Irish music and dance, I was completely elated through the entire evening. Next time I’m in Dublin, we will be repeat customers.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 216 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $102

Dublin pub dinner show with reserved seating, a 4-course Irish meal, and award-winning Irish dancing plus live folk music at Taylors Three Rock.

“Great evening! Lots of fun and laughter. The food was good! The entertainers were wonderful. The only thing I will mention is the venue is not in the Dublin city center. It's about a 30 min (with traffic) Uber ride to/from. If you are going on your own and part of the tour, please factor this in. I would definitely recommend it though!”

I know the fine print indicated a 100% cancelation fee... but no email response at all... oh... there was one I almost forgot - the one asking for this review.”
