The Cobblestones in Dublin

Loved the respect for live music!!

Amazing music together with great beers

A great pub for tourists looking for a true "Irish experience," as they play traditional Irish live music. Naturally, the pub was quite crowded—but still worth a visit.

Pub located 20 minutes from Dublin city center. Worth a visit because you can hear many local musicians performing every day. It's always busy. A great experience.

Great pub with great traditional Irish sessions nightly! There is no food here, but great beer selection.

Excellent trad music and bar service! Guinness was cold 🤘🏼

Irish dancing was practiced there and the show is worth the detour.

The Cobblestone Pub – Come for the Music, Stay for the Humanity We came early for the live traditional music — and ended up staying for hours. The music was everything we hoped for: raw, real, and magnetic. But what truly elevated our night was the people behind the bar and the feeling of being welcomed into something much bigger than a pub. While waiting for the session to start, we had the chance to chat with the staff, which was not only fun but surprisingly educational. One bartender kindly clued me in on an important cultural lesson: never order a Black and Tan in Ireland. I had no idea the term refers to the British paramilitary forces sent to suppress Irish independence in the 1920s. It’s an understandably loaded phrase here — not something to casually say at the bar. Grateful for the gentle correction and the history lesson I’ll never forget. I also walked away with newfound respect for Guinness and the subtle factors that influence its taste. Ever heard of invisible congealed milk solids? They can cling to a glass if it’s been used for an Irish coffee and not rinsed well, and they noticeably affect the pour. I’ll never look at a pint the same way again. Special shoutout to Camille, the most intuitive bar server I’ve ever encountered. She’s French, and her quiet command of the room was impressive — kind, proactive, and deeply attuned. She encouraged the quieter guests to order without pressure and even offered water to someone who didn’t want a drink. No ego, no flash — just genuine hospitality. I watched her treat everyone with the same care. We stayed for a few hours of music, and it felt like being part of a living tradition — not just a show. The Cobblestone has soul. If you’re visiting Dublin and want to feel something real, go early, grab a seat, and let the night carry you.

Fantastic Guinness. Fantastic music. Fantastic place. Do not miss this gem when you're in Dublin.

This is a beverages only pub. I went for the music and had a great time. The wait staff was very helpful in selecting an Irish ale I would like, and gave me samples to help me decide! Not a lot of seating, but people came and went, so in the end, we had great seats at the bar close to the action!
