I’m quite partial to a bit of Jazz. Even more so when it’s themed with some good food and drinks. With that in mind for this weeks post I’ve put together a list of places around the city where you can enjoy some Jazz while you eat and drink.

The Kilkenny Shop Cafe offer a live Sunday Jazz session between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. and also a live Bluegrass music set between 2.30 p.m. and 4.30 p.m.  So whether you prefer brunch or lunch they have you covered.

On the last Sunday of every month between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. The Cill Airne boat on the River Liffey over a live jazz session.  I’ve been a couple of times and have to say the band are excellent as are the surrounds.

Over on Pembroke Street you can find Pedal Pushing Monkey and on Saturday nights they have a live jazz band playing from 9 p.m. They are also serving up some enticing looking cocktails such as the Absinthe Sour shown below.

Between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Thursdays in House Dublin they have live jazz playing in the garden.  A fantastic venue with lots of themed areas to choose from.  They also have the Camembert Quartet playing in the Glasshouse on Sundays between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m.
