Pub crawl with Traditional music in Dublin over Easter weekend

You might try posting this on the main section under Ireland. This section is for reviews of places you have visited and someone seeing your topic might not realize you are asking for help for your visit. Worth giving it a try and you might get a response good luck..

For the music part, be sure to include The Cobblestone pub. They’re open 7 days (and nights) a week, and the sessions on Sundays start at 2:30 in the afternoon. For any question about Easter Sunday, you could contact them via the link on their Website. They don’t serve food, but have the music covered.

We just showed up on a Sunday afternoon, and got seats close to the musicians. The later it got in the afternoon, the more people showed up, and for some it was standing room only. Maybe arrive earlier in the afternoon, then go elsewhere when you’re looking to eat.

Here's one I found on AirBnB. They have "experiences" in addition to "stays." Just plug in your city and dates. Always lots of options in Dublin.

Food isn't usually the main objective of a pub crawl. That would be booze. You know that the definition of a pub crawl is going from one pub to the next and drinking at each until you can drink no more and / or fall over? I don't think you need a reservation for that :)

Pubs won't close for Easter. Quite the opposite. Many people use a holiday Monday to go out and drink on a Sunday night when they wouldn't normally.

The Church (https://www.thechurch.ie) isn't a traditional pub, but it does serve food and has music. I don't see anything on the website or FB page indicating they won't be open on Easter. I agree with GerryM that a "pub crawl" is a drinks-oriented event, likely involving pubs that don't serve food at all.

Going to a pub for food isn't usually the best idea when there's a session on or when there's a GAA or football match on the telly. If you appreciate the skill of the musicians, it's nice to offer them a round of drinks, not chicken in a basket.

Sorry about having the post in the wrong section. I tried several times to post it in the right section, but for some reason its wouldn't save it. Thanks for your responses. We're in our 70s so the Church restaurant might be the best option for us. So many choices so little time. We appreciate your help.
