You should update your link. Paddy Reilly’s doesn’t have Irish music on Tuesdays. Disappointed to arrive only to discover that 🙁
Hi Lynn, We do apologize for this disappointment, we do try to keep up to date with the latest sessions around the city , but on this occasion that wasn’t the case. Did you at least stay for a Guinness? How was it?
