Trad and Tapas at Diamond Coast Hotel

Diamond Coast Hotel in Enniscrone runs a weekly Trad and Tapas evening every Monday from 6pm to 9pm, pairing live traditional Irish music with a tapas-style food menu in the hotel’s bar area. It is one of the more distinctive regular music nights on the Sligo coast, aimed at both hotel guests and locals looking for a relaxed start to the week rather than a big weekend night out.

What to Expect

The format sets live trad musicians up in the bar while food is served tapas-style, small sharing plates rather than a set dinner menu, so diners can come and go and stay as long as the music runs. It is listed directly on the hotel’s own events page as a standing weekly fixture rather than a one-off booking, running for a fixed three hour window each Monday evening. Diamond Coast Hotel sits on the seafront in Enniscrone and has grown its live music programme through 2026 to include this weekly session alongside bigger weekend and tribute nights, making the hotel one of the more consistent live music venues in the town outside of the traditional pub scene. The relaxed early evening slot makes it a practical option for visitors staying nearby who want music without a late night. It also gives Enniscrone a trad option to sit alongside the town’s pub scene, since Gilroy’s Bar and Ocean Sands Hotel run their own live music nights later in the week, with Diamond Coast filling the quieter start of the week.
