Dublin: Celtic Nights with Irish Dinner, Music & Dance Show
There is something about a room full of people clapping along to live Irish music while dancers fly across the stage that captures the spirit of Ireland better than almost anything else. Celtic Nights at the Arlington Hotel is one of Dublin’s most popular dinner-and-show experiences, and it earns that reputation every single evening.
The night begins with a three-course meal of Irish and European cuisine. Think hearty stews, golden pies and creamy colcannon, the kind of food that fuels a good night. Then the entertainment takes over. Award-winning musicians play traditional tunes that build from gentle airs to foot-stamping reels, while professional dancers showcase everything from elegant set pieces to the famously entertaining brush dance. The storytelling woven between the performances adds context and heart to the music.
The best part comes when the audience is invited onto the floor for a ceili. It does not matter if you have two left feet, the atmosphere is so warm and encouraging that everyone ends up dancing. The whole evening runs from 8pm to 10pm, leaving you buzzing with energy and thoroughly immersed in Irish culture. A Dublin city audio guide in five languages is included as a bonus for exploring the city the next day.
