Reviewed pub lore
Local notes
Music
Folklore collectors and archivists were visiting Doolin and Gus O'Connor's as early as the 1930s. The pub helped make Doolin synonymous with Irish traditional music — Gus let musicians play long before it was fashionable, when 'musicians were looked down upon around here.' Traditional sessions seven nights a week from February through November; weekends year-round. Real sessions, not floor shows — the audience is part of them.
Regulars
Micho, Packie and Gussie Russell — the Russell brothers — were fixtures here. Through the doors over the years: Willie Clancy, Tommy Peoples, Sharon Shannon, Christy Barry, Kevin Griffin, Yvonne Casey and the rest of the Doolin trad establishment.
Reputation
The cornerstone of Doolin's place in Irish trad music. One of the most reliably-good session pubs on the Wild Atlantic Way.
House rules
Be sound. Welcome newcomers. Keep it about the pub.
