There is a nice atmosphere in Dublin, with a lot of traditional music.
And for those people who like different kinds of music there are also a lot of places.
This is not unique to Dublin, many towns in Ireland have it. Galway for instance, but Dublin has the name worldwide.

My favorite thing about Ireland is the homemade soup and bread that you get in pubs in the small villages.
