The Irish have a long love affair with song, dance and
drink. The earliest Irish immigrants to
America brought with them a proud tradition of great Irish theater, dancing,
and music. And perhaps nothing is more
emblematic of American nightlife than the classic American Irish pub.
Today, Irish American entertainment is alive and well in
cities across the country. The following
is a list of American Irish Music & Dance companies, American Irish
Theater, and American Irish pubs.
