If your going to Dingle you must stop into Dick Mack's pub it's quite unique.

Of course I have lots of them in my book. Here are a few:

Doolin: O'Connors, McGanns

Dingle: Small Bridge

Kenmare: Davitts, O'Donnabhains

Cashel: Ryans, Deverins

Bunratty: Durty Nellys, J.P. Clarkes, Macs (in folk park)

Off the top of my head:

Dublin: Cobblestone in Smithfield; Despite it's reputation for tourism, I've heard great sessions at the Brazen Head and there are certainly locals that hang out there
Belfast: The Crown Saloon (because it's really the only one I know, but the interior is beautiful)
Ballycastle (NI): The House of McDonnell (established 1766)
Western Donegal: I can't remember the village it is officially assigned to, but Leo's Tavern is home to Enya, Clannad & Moya Brennan. Sure they are rarely there but Leo is the patriarch.
Westport: Matt Molloy's, The Porter House (right next to each other)
Ennis: Cruises
Dingle: (Michele is right, great sessions)
Kenmare: I don't know why, but I always end up eating at least one meal at O'Donnabhain's
Crookhaven: O'Sullivan's (I always visit if I am near - but that's probably an emotional choice on my part)

That's a start

Bantry -- Ma Murphy's
