havind played at a few sessions there myself ive found the place to be friendly, with great respect for the musicans themselves, with a corner of the pub permently reserved for the musicans, with signs around that say keep it quiet while musicans are playing{ r sumtin to that extent anyway} all in all the place has a very friendy and lively buzzing atmosphere with very like minded clientel. its not suitable for beginners jus starting out who are looking to play in a session, your better off just listening for the moment.
Great music. Might need to get there early to find a spot by the door nearer the players if you want to listen. Couldn't hear them from the back of the pub.
Just on the not suitable for beginners comment - they do have a beginners' session on a Monday night if anyone was looking for one. I think they start at nine-ish, but I'm open to correction on that one.
"Ciorcal Ceoil agus Comhra" Seisiun dha-theangach le Mary Begley agus Marion McEvoy, gach Luan.
Monday night bi-lingual session: an opportunity to use the Irish language in a friendly session atmosphere. Beginners (both musical and linguistic) encouraged.
Starting from 7 pm and usually going till late.
At 7pm it's really nice in quiet in there, so you can try those quiet tunes you nevver get in when the pubs get hopping.
Was there last wwek for few evenings and afternoon, It might be one of the best session in Dublin I think.
As far as I've seen, Sessions are very open.
If you're in Old Time music, the saturday afternoon (4-7pm) is grand as well.
Cobblestone
A great place to hear music with most of the participants playing to a high standard.

What time does it start?
I've got a business trip to Dublin at the end of the month, and absolutely must get a session in.
