About
The Irish Dance Party is one of Dublin’s best loved experiences where you get to see and hear top class live Irish music and dancing by award winning performers. Not only that, but true to the Irish spirit, everybody gets to give the dancing a go themselves. It is a 2 hour event. Seated at your own reserved table between dances, there is ample time to sit back and enjoy the entertainment with a beverage of your choice. Your charismatic and talented Irish music and dance entertainers will see to it that there is never a dull moment. It doesn't get any more Irish than that!

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Well worth a visit when in Dublin. Bit hard to find. Look for the archway on the river front. Hopefully the organisers update details on access.

So much fun! Went as part of a hen do. The music was so good and the dancers were incredible! The group dances they taught us were so much fun, we were just laughing and smiling the whole time. The drinks were really good as well. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Dublin!

I brought a group of university students to the Irish Dance Party and they had a blast. We all enjoyed just listening to the live music and were mesmerized by the incredible dancing of the performers. The instructions went very quickly, but the students were able to fake it until they made it, and by the end they felt pretty confident. It was their favorite experience of our four days in Dublin.

Had an excellent time celebrating my 50th birthday here! The 4 of us ladies thoroughly enjoyed every part of the show. The music was great, the dancers were amazing and it was fun to be shown 3 dances and have a go ourselves. A very enjoyable 2 hours. Thank you.

Turned up to this after a long day not really feeling like being a part of it. It had been booked by someone I was travelling with and initially wasn’t too keen. Well I Loved it, they have a great ability to get you involved and it was just a bit of fun. Great music and dancing. Learned a few fun dances. Would definitely recommend to others.

Not a bad experience, but unfortunately we had to leave early:(. We were sat in a corner for the short performance part, which was a bummer. I’m sure it was because we were the only party of 2 there. This particular event seems best suited for bachelorette parties (“hen parties). The Irish dancers sat upstairs doing their thing until they were called down to perform. We were there for 45 minutes and they danced once then they called folks out on the floor to learn how to dance. I expected more performing from them. Bummer. If you’d like more of a performance, this is not the function for you. It wasn't bad - the singer (Daniel?) was pretty good but again, I wanted more dancing.

A hen party of 11 - absolutely fantastic fun. The dance training and professionals show is brilliant for groups of friends.

We had a booking with Irish Dance Party for our group of French students but we were very disappointed.
*We paid for 2 hours but it lasted only 1h40.
* During this two hours, at least 1h or 1h10 consisted in watching a guy playing the guitar, whereas we were waiting for a real irish show and dance initiation.
* On the videos on their website there are two dancers and a man playing uilleann pipes, we only had one dancer and a guitar player...
The part with dancing was great, but it was really too short.

Can you make reservations directly with the bar? How far in advance must you make reservations? I would love to have an email address to make reservations since I am in the US and calling isn't practical.
