Barnacles Temple Bar House Music Week

We hosted our first Music Week event at our Temple Bar House hostel this week and thank all those who took part! Each night from 6pm our guests were given free Sangria, snacks and discount cards, for the Dublin Backpacker Pubcrawls and some great gigs that took place at The Academy. We also had Jameson Whiskey tastings taking place in the hostel nightly for some VERY lucky guests! Tonight is the last music night and it's going to be the best as we celebrate the great Arthur Guinness (1785-1803), founder of the famous Guinness Brewery with some pints and plenty of Irish craic!

The guests really got involved . . .

It could be to do with the drink they had during the Jameson Tastings . . .

Some even went up on stage for a sing song!

Jimmy and the Music Box were great . . .

And so was the Jameson!!

And it was all thanks to you, our guests and our wonderful team!

A huge thank you is owed to all the great acts who entertained us during this fantastic week . . . . Jimmy & The Music Box, Shane, Thomas, Peter & Martin, Sue from Irish Dance Party, Eli Albarran and tonight's band, The Quakers. And to Sabine for her expert Whiskey advice sessions.

We hope to see you all again very soon!! :-)
