John Benny's Pub Session

John Benny Moriarty's Pub, generally referred to as John Benny’s, is located on Strand Street in Dingle. They serve food all day and have self catering accommodation. It is one of the primary locations for traditional Irish music in town.


John Benny, a very good West Kerry style box player, frequently leads the session himself. And, if you are in Dingle on a Wednesday night, don’t miss his wife Eilis Kennedy. She plays whistle and timber flute and she has a beautiful voice with a texture that is unique. Eilis has her own website with biographical information, performance schedules and you can listen to selections from her CD’s.

There is a session every night during the season and on weekends and some evenings during the off-season. John Benny's also offers an opportunity to experience Irish set dancing every Monday night. All sessions begin at 9:30 pm.
