The Cobblestone is a public house located in Smithfield, Dublin 7, Ireland. Established in 1974, it has become a central hub for traditional Irish music sessions. Unlike many pubs offering staged performances, The Cobblestone is renowned for its organically developing sessions – informal gatherings where musicians play spontaneously without a pre-arranged setlist. The venue operates two distinct spaces: the front bar which offers a more relaxed atmosphere and the back room dedicated specifically to traditional music. It actively supports and promotes both established and emerging musicians within the Irish traditional scene and has been instrumental in preserving this cultural heritage. The pub's commitment to authentic sessions has garnered it national recognition and a loyal following amongst musicians and enthusiasts alike.
