O'Sullivan's Courthouse Pub is a special place. It's a catch writing about how great a place is when you wish that it could always be your little secret. Well, the bottom line is that musician, and proprietor, Tommy O'Sullivan deserves the very best of accolades. I saw Tommy play once in 2007 and returned yearly hoping to hear his music... More

My mom and I stumbled into this little pub one night on our trip and loved it so much we came back every night we were in Dingle. I would suggest arriving early if you want to snag a seat to hear some of the best traditional Irish music. Perfect place to spend an evening in Ireland.

We arrived in lovely Dingle after 10 days of a short visit to Dublin and a week of hiking in Kerry County! And the first day we found O'Sullivan's court house pub. A beautiful, traditional, and welcoming little piece of heaven! It is all about the music that will really knock you off your seat! It is hard to describe... More

I absolutely love O'Sullivan's and the atmosphere it provides. Loved hanging out here drinking the town's brew...Tom Crean's. We were able to watch incredible musicians and just relax and have a good time. This is exactly what I pictured Ireland to be like...truly wonderful place and amazing people.

I took my Canadian 20-something son and his girlfriend to Ireland in May 2012, her first time ever trip there. We spent wonderful time in Dublin and Cork and in between. But both say their nights at O'Sullivan's Courthouse were the best of the trip. Superb traditional music, super-friendly staff and a great B&B recommended by the pub staff. Both... More

Was referred to the Courthouse by my B&B owner and glad I went. Friendly bartender, easy to chat with locals and other visitors and terrific trad session of Irish music. It's small, so get there early to get a good seat. Interestingly but I never read about this place as a place in Dingle to hear great music, so it... More

Like O'Flaherty's a pub that welcomes musicians to join in. It is far smaller but far less touristy though and is a nice warm-up place for the Hill Grove or just for a relaxed nite out with good local music away from the Irish Rover type of stuff. Pint was a bit warm though the last time I have been... More

We landed early and got a cozy seat in the window by the end of the bar. From this vantage point, we couldn't see the musicians, but we heard their fantastic music through the press of the crowd. We met some of the local people and enjoyed the fun and gaiety of the evening. Definitely would go back.

We visited the Courthouse on a recommendation from wait staff at a local restaurant. The owner and musician, Tommy O'Sullivan played music, accompanied by another very talented musician. A vocalist also stopped in to sing a few Irish classics in a cappella. Overall, the music was a fresh take on classic music found at many other pubs.
