The pub hosts traditional Irish music sessions led by some of Ireland's finest musicians, including a renowned uilleann piper. The music sessions are not put on for show, but rather focus on passing on songs, tunes, and skills to keep the tradition alive.
The atmosphere at the pub is described as laid back and friendly, built on family tradition and respect for music and culture. Musicians and singers gather to share their love for traditional Irish music, creating a welcoming environment for all.
The pub is situated in one of Dublin's oldest neighborhoods, Smithfield, just one minute away from the Luas stop and a fifteen-minute walk from the city center. It is conveniently located for locals and visitors alike to enjoy the traditional Irish music sessions.
Every Wednesday night, a special session called the Balaclavas session is held in The Backroom. This session is led by fiddle players who teach Irish music on various instruments to those who may not yet feel confident enough to play in the front bar. Balaclavas are even supplied for those who are shy.
In addition to the traditional Irish music sessions, patrons can also hire The Backroom for events at a reasonable cost. The pub also hosts talented musicians, singers, and even offers live music shows, creating a vibrant and lively atmosphere for all to enjoy.
