    lets see

    Taffes - Shop Street
    Monroes - Lower Dominick Street
    The Crane Bar - Sea Road
    The Quays - Quay Street
    Tigh Coilí - Shop Street
    The Pucan - Forster Street? maybe?

    I think most of these will have live country western/trad. irish on most nights of the week, hope this will be of some help!

    While there is a crossover in some venues, there can be a BIG difference between 'country' and 'trad'. Off the top of my head I'd ring and check, for example there is a country/folk duo in the Crane (from their website " Greg Cotter and Mary Flanagan Country/Folk
    Sun 26-06, 21.30, ADM: FREE") but most nights it's trad. Same for the other pubs mentioned. Maybe also try Western Hotel or Barr An Chaladh (sp?)

    Big difference between country and western and Irish trad. Taafes and Tigh Coili definitely for Trad only. Quays upstairs does normal country and western a fair bit.
