Great activity! The dancers were amazing and very attractive. Precision dancing. Introductory group lessons were fun and not too difficult. A suggestion--If each group formed two unequal lines to start, I think it might help to form the double circle-maybe. 🙂 Two dancers would lead the lines into the desired formation. The guitarist-singer was great as well, just not as pretty! Aye!

We really enjoyed everything about the performers: the musician and the 3 female dancers/instructors. They were all very professional and LOADS of FUN!Will recommend the dance party, BUT, will caution anybody about the ASTRONOMICALLY HIGH PRICES for the drinks.....would have appreciated a more moderate price as in the other local pubs.

I booked this event for a work social event, the Irish music from the host was fantastic and really engaging which made it really fun and enjoyable. The Irish dancers were amazing and really talented, they also made it really fun and included everyone when teaching the moves to the dances. The food and drinks from the venue was top quality making the event a great night of fun and craic!

It was an amazing experience! The exceptionally talented performers entertained us with traditional Irish music and dance. And they even took the time to teach us some Irish dances, which was an absolute fun. My friends and I were visiting Ireland for the first time, and it was a perfect decision to watch traditional Irish performances in a historic building!

Honestly a bit of a disappointment. The staff and dances were lovely and all but the ridiculous number of people they allow to book together with makes the experience something more like following an instructional video and dance show on YouTube (with dancers facing the wrong way) than anything of any personable substance.Price of Guinness was the most expensive at just under 9€ for a pint! The advertised “band” and display of different Irish instruments was just one guy on a guitar singing “classic” Irish songs or mis-singing lyrics to others.The songs we did end up “dancing” to were also things like ‘cotton eye joe’ which isn’t very traditional either.Anyways, a bit of an expensive disappointment. Best suited for big company groups or stags/hen do’s and easily entertained families - wouldn’t recommend for small groups or couples looking to have a real Irish experience.All in all it’s not the best first impression of Ireland it’s a bit of a shame as it could well be brilliant. The dancers were excellent location is nice and the idea is grand.Would appreciate if they let in half the number of people they did, had a bit more of a band with other instruments and had the dancers turn during their dances so you wouldn’t have to watch their backs all the time!

This was a wonderful experience. My wife and I attended last night. It was very interactive, too. Great acoustic music to start then into the Irish dancing and performances. The host and dancers did a great job at involving everyone. They are professionals. The party was fun and I've already been telling friends about it!

Food included in the show is okay, the songs performed were not very consistent - they mixed high and low. Service was good, whole table getting their food at the same time. If it is your first time in Ireland, it is a good place to go to, and kid friendlier than other places.
