What's On Dublin Gigs The Cobblestone

Venue guide · Smithfield, Dublin 7

The Cobblestone

A family-run pub on Smithfield Square and the home of traditional music in Dublin, with sessions every day of the week in the musicians' corner. Lankum, The Mary Wallopers, Lisa O'Neill and John Francis Flynn have all played here. In 2021 a plan to knock most of it down for a hotel was refused after a campaign to save it.
