Rick

We had a great time on the tour with Tony, his storytelling and genuine passion for it made it all the better. Was our highlight on this trip to Dublin and will be recommending it anyone we hear is coming this way!

Solid experience at this museum. Coline did a good job of moving us along, and giving some great information on all of the bands and artists mentioned along the way. It was also fun to jam with a complete set of strangers at the end of the journey.

A highlight of our trip to Ireland. Took all six of our group to the Irish Rock 'n' Roll Museum, including 80 yr old parents. Everyone LOVED it. The place is an active music facility for rehearsals and recording, with the museum filling areas no longer used for rehearsal and recording space. Our tour guide (Coline) was fantastic. Witty and knowledgeable. She really helped put all the memorabilia in context. I know of the importance of U2 and even Thin Lizzy. I had no idea how much more rock that I love came out of Ireland. Highly recommend!

The Irish Rock 'n' Roll Museum Experience in Dublin is less of a traditional museum and more of a passionate, behind-the-scenes tour of a working music complex. Located in the heart of Temple Bar, it is a must-see for anyone with an interest in Irish music history. The tour, which lasts just over an hour, is fully guided and takes you through active recording studios and rehearsal rooms that have hosted legends like U2, Thin Lizzy, and Van Morrison. What truly makes the experience memorable is the guide, ours was Tony. Tony is an enthusiastic storyteller who brought the exhibits and the history to life with personal anecdotes and humor. The museum itself is packed with interesting memorabilia - a highlight being the Rory Gallagher guitars. And don't forget your get 10% off in the bar after the tour :)
Christopher

Phenomenal tour. Was lucky to be given the tour by Elisa. An incredibly knowledgeable and humorous tour guide. The visit includes a detailed look into artists and bands who recorded on the premises (and close by), a detailed history of Irish bands and artists including Thin Lizzy, U2, Sinead O’Connor, and many more. I would highly recommend a visit if you’re a huge music nerd like myself!!
