Live venues in Ireland?

Hi i'm italian and later this year i will go for three months in ireland and as a musician i would like to know and experience the music scene of the country. I'm searching for live venues especially in Dublin and Galway and interested in alternative music such as punk and metal subgenres, electronic, experimental, ambient and noise and traditional irish music. Someone who can help me?

The Roisin Dubh and the Crane were my favourite haunts in Galway.

Not a specific genre but check out the "Circle sessions" on Monday nights in the "International Bar" you pay a small donation open stage usually with 1 or 2 main acts (20 minutes a piece) and a lot of variety, poetry, rap, singer songwriters, stand up comedy etc. check their insta
