Darkey Kelly’s Bar & Restaurant is one of the best places to enjoy traditional Irish music. The pub is located in the heart of the Temple Bar district and takes its name from Darkey Kelly, a legendary Dublin woman who was burned for witchcraft. Bodies were discovered under the floor of the brothel she ran in 1761, proving that she could have been Ireland’s first serial killer! But don’t worry: these days, there’s no risk of having your throat cut: Darkey Kelly’s Bar is a festive, cheerful address where you can sample the art of Irish conviviality!
