Open Mic/Open Jam nights?

Hello to all~
My husband and I have a music trio here in Detroit. We're visiting Ireland in early September 2019, and wondered if there are any open mics or open jam nights that are legendary in any of the cities were staying in: Dublin, Kilkenny, Cork, Killarney, or Galway? If not, might you know of a good website to search for them? We might just get the urge to jam a bit ;o)

Hello Robin,

It's absolutely thrilling to hear that you and your husband will be visiting our shores and planning such a fun activities during your trip!

• Dublin: A great option is The Apollo Sessions at the Bleeding Horse pub, a popular with nearby office workers and a good crowd usually congregates to take advantage of the late night bar.

• Kilkenny: I recommend you to check Cleeres Pub that includes an open traditional music session also takes place on Wednesday nights during the season from 9pm.

• Cork: Enjoy the craic in Con and Maura's Bar Clonakilty, they also offer open music sessions on Friday and Saturday night. 

• Galway: The The Cellar Bar at night the main bar plays host to a wide range of music such as open mic nights.

While I couldn't find an open mic option in Killarney, there are several other great places for you to check in the previous list.

I hope this information helps with the planning of your trip, and let's see if some other members will jump in with some other suggestions!

Have a lovely weekend! :D

Thank you so much for the comprehensive list there. Awesome!

Hello again, Robin! :) 

It would be wonderful if you got to join in with some of the music sessions while you're here. What style of music do you and your wife usually like to play? I would love to help you find more jam opportunities. :) 

A great website with information about music sessions in Dublin, including open mic sessions, is Dublin Sessions.

I hope this was helpful! :)
