Dingle

Perched on the hem of the Atlantic in Ireland’s southwest, Dingle looks across the Bay to the Blasket Islands. Chock full of friendly pubs where live traditional music plays, the Irish-speaking area fills to the brim with tourists on weekends and throughout summer. For traditional Irish music, you’re spoiled. From John Benny’s to O’Flaherty’s to An Droichead Beag, there are no end of venues to listen in on a session, and if you’d prefer quieter surroundings, Dick Mack’s or Foxy John’s provides that too.. and while you’re at it, you can rent a bike out the back of the latter to get you home when you’re done.
