The pub session
Traditional music sessions in pubs — fiddle, bodhrán, tin whistle, guitar. They start organically around 9pm. Some pubs have scheduled sessions, others just happen. Don't clap between songs in a set.
☀️ Weekend culture in Ireland
Weekends in Ireland have their own rhythm. Markets, day trips, sport, religion or rest — what people in Ireland actually do on their days off says a lot about the culture.
In Ireland, weekend culture comes down to a few things: the pub session, coastal walks, and sunday roast.
Coastal walks
The Wild Atlantic Way, Cliffs of Moher, Ring of Kerry, Dingle Peninsula. Weekend drives along the coast with stops for pubs and views are peak Irish weekend.
Sunday roast
Roast beef or lamb with potatoes (always potatoes), vegetables, and gravy. At home or at the pub. It's followed by tea, biscuits, and possibly a nap.
