    C Ní Cairbre

    A national treasure, this tiny pub has been owned by the same family since 1880. Old newspaper clippings and long-faded artwork cover most surfaces and it's a great place to catch some traditional music. You might find a session going on any night of the week but especially Tuesday nights and Sunday afternoons.

    One of Drogheda's top spots for live music, McPhail's (as it's always called, no matter what the sign says) is popular with a younger crowd and features everything from heavy-metal cover bands to trad sessions. There's a traditional bar at the front and a beer garden out the back.

    Clarke & Sons

    This wonderful old boozer is right out of a time capsule. The unrestored wooden interior features snugs and leaded-glass doors that read Open Bar. The pints taste good at this corner classic.

    At the Westcourt Hotel, Drogheda's biggest nightclub attracts a fairly young crowd and can be a bit of a cattle mart, but the music ranges from club classics to hip hop, house and techno, and there's a great beer garden.

    Fusion

    The beer garden is a big pull here, as is the heaving disco, which runs from Thursday to Sunday night with a mix of '60s, rock, house and dance music. Can you say alcopop?

    Redz

    A small, chilled-out bar at the front hides a big club out back. DJs, live acts and lots of people getting down keep things going until late.

    Clarke & Sons

    This wonderful old boozer is right out of a time capsule. Clarke's unrestored wooden interior features snugs and leaded-glass doors that read Open Bar. It attracts an arty crowd and is gay friendly.
