The Food, Folklore, and Fairies evening at O'Shea pub in Dublin is a fantastic night out. Everything went well, the food was great and the evening ran to time with such precision. The storytelling was delivered well by Johnny Daly who is an amazing storyteller who sticks to the facts and you leave feeling you know a bit more about Ireland, it's history, people and it's ways. The musicians who entertain you while you are eating your main course were excellent. This is a lovely way for those people who have Irish connections to get to know their heritage a bit more and for those who don't know much about Ireland to learn in a entertaining way. You are all sat together at long tables and you get to know the people around you which is so lovely in a world where people don't stop to chat that much anymore. If you are in Dublin and looking for a night out that is good value for money and entertaining (as well as educational) then this is the one for you.

4. Irish Storytelling at the Parnell Heritage
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 14 reviews
We take our favorite myths, and we don’t shy away from the sex and violence that were always present in the Irish storytelling tradition. We breathe fresh air into ancient myths, with a live original musical score composed by a team of talented musicians with a flare for plucking the heartstrings and setting the tone to fit the tale. We keep the depth, the wisdom, and the richness, and leaven it with humour, passion and playfulness to enchant audiences of any age. Live music is the heartbeat of all our performances, driving the rhythm of the storytelling, weaving through the tale and sweeping the listener away.

We have a large mix of nationalities in our company and wanted to organise something unique for the first sports and social event of the year. The team at Parnell Heritage we incredibly helpful with organising food and drink options while Candlelit Tales were completely enthralling. The stories were easy to follow for all in attendance and really gave a magical insight into Irish culture and the characters of Irish Myth that shaped a nation. Everyone that went spoke highly of the event and I look forward to losing myself in future Candlelit Tales events.

Three English ladies visiting from the UK and our lovely Irish friend from Dublin went to the Belvedere for an Irish night, unsure what to expect. We all loved the Irish meal, and found the quality of the entertainment to be outstanding - Irish music and dancing by excellent performers from Riverdance. Our Irish friend, who had really come along more to be polite and keep us company than expecting to enjoy the evening was equally complimentary and said it was the best Irish night she'd ever been to in Dublin. Highly recommended!

We were very impressed with the food (soup, ribs, chicken and veggies, and dessert), the music and entertainment were fantastic and loved the bagpiper on the way out. It was well worth the money and a good way to start or end a vacation.
10. Irish Folk Tours

The tour company I traveled with scheduled our last dinner here. Being in the oldest pub in Ireland was awe-inspiring. Getting to hear such well researched stories about a brief history of the potato, the importance of fairies in the past and present, and the Irish heritage in North America and Australia was a treat! The stories were told in three phases with breaks for food and a performance of some traditional pub music. A three course limited menu was available. I loved the genius beef stew! Our group was on the third floor with bathrooms conveniently on the same floor. We were separated from the rest of the pub which was doing a great local business. I would have liked to hear a bit about the history of the pub itself, but I might have been able to get this information by spending time in the bar itself. Our group arrived in time for the event and left shortly after, so there wasn't much time to explore outside of the story telling. Overall a wonderfully entertaining evening. I would recommend making this part of your Dublin visit if you are interested in learning about the history and culture of Ireland.
