Merry Ploughboys Irish Night

About

The Merry Ploughboy Irish Night is an award‑winning evening of traditional Irish music, dinner and dancing held in a 200‑year‑old heritage pub in Rockbrook, Rathfarnham. A three‑course Irish dinner begins at 6:30 pm, followed by a lively set of songs, folk music and intricate Irish step‑dance performances that keep audiences laughing and tapping their feet until the curtain falls at 10:00 pm. The show’s full‑choice menu features classics such as bacon & cabbage, Irish beef stew and a vegetarian sweet‑potato curry, topped with a homemade apple pie. With the pub remaining open after the show, guests can toast the night away or enjoy a quiet conversation over a pint. Whether you’re a history buff, a music lover or simply craving authentic Irish hospitality, this celebrated event is a must‑see when visiting Dublin. Show tickets start at €59 per person and can be booked online via the official website. A shuttle service from Dublin city centre is available for an additional €12 per adult ( €6 for children accompanying a parent). The shuttle departs shortly after the show and makes round‑trip pickups at selected stops. Booking is required, especially during peak times, and it is highly recommended to reserve in advance.
