An outstanding dinner and show!
A fabulous dinner and show, this experience exceeded our expectations. The food was delicious and plentiful, and they were able to accommodate my gluten free needs with ease. The show itself was well done, with lots of Music, dancing, and fun. I recommend this authentic experience without hesitation!

Truly an Irish Experience
The music was awesome and the audience participation was a key to a great experience. The dancers performed a variety of classic Irish step dances. Highly recommended to also have the delicious and well presented dinner with the show.

A Genuine Irish Experience
What a fun evening! While they are a well known tourist spot, it get authentic and truly Irish. Dinner was good and the entertainment even better. With drinks, it was the priciest thing we did while in Ireland for 2 weeks . . . and we'd do it again!

A really fun night!
This one totally exceeded our expectations. It was a bit of a ride to get there but 100% worth it! The food was excellent but the entertainment was amazing. So much fun if you want to hear fun Irish music and beautiful dancing! Really fun night!

The Merry Ploughboys was a great show!
It’s a little hike from the center of Dublin but so very worth it. The dinner was fantastic and the show was amazing. I am so glad we chose to come see the Merry Ploughboys! Fun and so entertaining. A great time!

Amazing show; disappointing meal
The show was a ten but honestly the food was a 2. This was our last evening in Ireland and the food was very disappointing. The bacon and cabbage came with about 2tbsp of shredded cabbage and all of it was covered in some mayonnaise type tartar sauce.... 2 of us didn't eat our meals and we love traditional Irish food. The starters were the best part as the apple pie dessert was equally flavorless. We waited 60 minutes from our reservation time until any starter was served. I am not sure if that is a trip advisor ticket time issue or the merry ploughboy as many people arrived much later for the same dinner seating. The show however could not be beat and we had an amazing time!
