Hotsy Totsy
Iridescent striped wallpaper, velveteen booths and Ella Fitzgerald et al in the background make Hotsy Totsy a favourite haunt on any given night, but it’s positively hopping during live sessions (usually at least Tuesdays and Thursdays; gigs are posted on the website). The rear room doubles as a de facto gallery space for local artists.

De Muze
This venerable café winds over three wooden storeys separated by curtains of fairy-lights. Musos (mainly local) take to the stage from 10pm Monday to Saturday and at 3pm on Sunday, during which time drinks cost an extra €0.50, with proceeds going to the performers. Gig schedules are posted on the door.

L’Archiduc
L’Archiduc is easily identified by its jade-green façade. Ring the bell to gain entry then lounge with a martini in this 1930s Art Deco bar, which has local line-ups (free) on Saturday, international acts (around €10) on Sunday and a truly fabulous atmosphere. Gigs start at 5pm.
