The session happens most Wednesdays, starting around 8-8:30 PM and runs until 11:30 to 12:30. On some Wednesdays, however, Rusty will have to schedule a touring band into the Pub and cancel the session. So check the website for the schedule for the week you will be in town.
Sigh - - I went there expecting to play whistle (not my natural instrument) on the outskirts of a large session (this is, after all, the only session listed in a city of 4+ million people) and it was not a session but an open mike populated by a singer and members of her bands. She was good, but what a disappointment for me. There was no way I was going to do that and no room on the stage, anyway. I did have a Guiness, however.
Many times the owners will have a happy hour performance, up to the session time. And... sometimes there are bands scheduled on session nights. As mallette stated, check the mucky duck website for who is playing on that night. There is also a session at the Coffee Oasis in Clear Lake City (it's listed on this site also)... Thursdays.
