Joined family members at Cryan's Bar in Carrick-on-Shannon on Sunday evening of the May bank holiday weekend. Happened to pick the right seats just before the music got started. Eight or nine wonderful musicians and some nice voices. Flutes, guitars, violin, accordion and even spoons. By 10:30 there was barely standing room and the music was wonderful. Some things you just can't by a ticket to. I understood that Cryan's is one of the best places to go for trad Irish music. It certainly was that night.

One of the best pubs in Ireland. Sat afternoon, creamy pints and two music sessions. Could have stayed all night, but you know, kids an all. Definitely drop in for a pint if in Carrick.

Oh My God! This is the sort of pub that my grandparents would have felt at home at! It was small, it was homely and the trad music session going down the back of the pub was great. If you are in Carrick On Shannon and you don't stop here for a pint (or even a glass of water if you don't drink!) you're a fool! This is as authentic an Irish pub as you'll find in the country. Great staff and easy going punters who will happily talk to you.

visited for the trad session on Thursday night - very friendly chatty clientele and an interesting pub with lots of small rooms - a regular wee warren. Trad session started late and was just ok to start ( several people left early as a result) but other musicians joined and it got to be a really good session. would go back again!

Cryan's serve an excellent pint of Guinness. There is a lot more space inside than there appears to be before you go in. It has a reputation as a great traditional music pub. There are a series of beautiful black and white photographs on the walls depicting the many musicians who must have played there over the years. Great option in Carrick.
