the brazen head

it is very popular. it tends to be crowded and full. but once you taste their beers, their food and experience it is easy to understand why. the brazen head is as old as amazing, an absolute must if you are in dublin.

envirement, staff, food and drinks - everything was amazing. the staff is very very nice. the food its very good and the portions are big. the oldest pub in dublin is awesome !

as tourists, we went there for dinner. just a nice restaurant with tipical irish food, not very expensive. the mussels, omg, they are great! i would defenitely recommend it for the tourists who want to have a traditional irish dinner!

the food was meh. the chips were undercooked and my husband’s fish was way over cooked. i had the quinoa burger which was very starchy and lacking flavour. it was quite expensive for what we had and two beers.

simple not good!! the lady was nice but the food and the general service was really bad!!!!! the kitchen didnt work
and manáger always trt to hide!!

bad food. the service is even worse, at 10pm no one would serve us a coffee, allegedly because the coffee machine was being cleaned. definitely not a place to return. ever.

unseasoned food, poor service, waited 1 hour and 45 minutes for food, no coffee available.
fine for a pub, definitely not recommend for food

infelizmente o espaço para o qual tinha a maior expectativa e esta longe de ter sido o melhor.
a cozinha estava em obras e o menu estava bastante reduzido.
o guiness stew não estava nada de especial e desta forma a nota e dada pela envolvência e espaço/historia.
irei voltar certamwnte

visit it for the nostalgia and good vibe.

this place has been around for long, really long. it's got a guinness record to its name. headed there for a beer and quick bite in the early evening. it was busy, the staff was friendly and the grub was good. be sure to walk around the place a bit.

although we knew it would be a crowded place where tourists such as ourselves would flock, we had to make a stop here for lunch and pint. we took advantage of the outdoor space, which was cosy and inviting.

unfortunately, service was lacking — we waited nearly and hour for simple pub food. clearly, our server forgot to put in our order and tried to pass it off as being busy with a tour group. but no, when tables around us that she was serving got food before us (and they arrived later than when we put our order in) it’s obvious she forgot and gave us attitude when we inquired about how much longer we had to wait. as we had an appointment elsewhere, we literally had 8 min to eat and pay.

to top it off, the chips (potatoes) were undercooked. not the best pub experience in dublin...(plus it’s overpriced)

recomendado por um colega que viveu na cidade, este pub, o mais antigo da irlanda foi sem dúvida uma experiência que deixa vontade de repetir.



chegámos ao restaurante sem saber bem como funcionava e foi-nos dito para escolhermos uma mesa livre, foi em janeiro, portanto mesas outdoor não era agradável.

em 4 minutos conseguimos uma mesa muito acolhedora num canto da sala, com sofás, conforto é uma palavra de ordem.

éramos 3 e pedimos, como de costume, 3 canecas da tradicional e saborosa cerveja.

para comer tentámos os pratos tradicionais, todos eles bem confeccionados e em quantidades suficientes para nos manter saciados durante a tarde de turismo.

decoração tradicional e muito acolhedora!

aconselho vivamente a experiência!

busy, busy, busy. the brazen head is a very busy place, with a sense of a familiarity of a very large family reunion. the "sit wherever you can" reminds me of christmas back home. live bands play often and you shouldn't miss it. all is so overwhelming and so many are having a great time you can do all but not smile. and so we went on a hunt dor seats, armed with a pint of guinness each, a cell phone to communicate, and a growing hunger as the lovely odours and smells perfumed the different rooms. finally having found a table to fit all 8 (a challenge indeed), a top rise one with a comfortable sofa and not so comfortable benches.
food came very quickly, which waa receiveid with a very honest, almost gluttonous thank you. both the irish stew and the the guinness and beef stew are incredibly taste and very filling. probably the best hangover prevention method i know of. not often i have trouble finishing my meal, and when you actually have to pause and wait a bit before i could lead another charge, that means bo effort will be spared to have none of that delicious food for leftovers. all unanimously agreed that our choices were without want. food is very traditional, no fancy presentation, no complicated or lenghty names, exactly what we were looking for.
in my imaginarium, the brazen head is the quintessential irish dinning place, as authentic and true to its heritage of a warm, crouded, and joyful place to be

touch down, boy were we hungry, literally our first meal in ireland. a step back in time is their slogan and no jokes it is! to think it's origins go back to 1198, adventuring through each section it seems that each patron has left a little something behind, unique conversation pieces in every nook. service was speedy and friendly, patiently answering all our inquisitive questions. a selection of traditional stews (amongst other classic dishes) are for the taking, beef & guinness stew was tender and flavorsome. a hot spicy bean & chilli stew to restore my traumatized tastebuds from all that airplane food. the menu has allergen info and all meat is 100% locally sourced. plenty beers on tap to keep your spirits high in this "must do" famous pub.

brazen head is one of those pubs that simply a 'must-visit' location if on holiday in dublin. it's incredibly old, full of history, and a beautiful place to have a pint of guinness (or your other favorite brew). we stopped in after visiting guinness and am glad we did. it's relaxing and the vibe is wonderful. the food was only ok but i never felt that was the focus anyhow. go enjoy a great pint or two and take it in. cheers.

the oldest pub in ireland is charming and quaint. definitely a must see for a tourist. the food was great and i can definitely recommend the fish chowder. the service was also good and probably one of the top must see pubs in ireland. something to remember.
