We were in Dublin on vacation this summer and in researching pubs to visit, we found The Brazen Head. We were interested in visiting after reading the history and seeing some photos and were not disappointed. The pub was a short walk from our hotel and was not overly crowded once we arrived. While there were a few cozy rooms to sit down and enjoy a pint, we opted for the outside beer garden as the weather was so nice. The service was great and the bartenders and waitress were all friendly. We visited during the day so there was no live music but it was a great place to sit back and relax after walking around Dublin all day. We enjoyed our visit and would definitely return, but maybe when we can listen to some live music.

It is cool to say we ate here. SO many tourists, that if you want to eat, you are taken back to a dining room that doesn't even feel like a pub. I can't imagine it would be easy to get a seat in the old pub section.

Really loved this place with its unique combination of quirky and cosy. We sat outside enjoying the late afternoon sun and had a great view of a billowing but unpredictable Irish tricolour. Exceptionally busy and popular with overseas tourists from Europe and America, there was a real cosmopolitan vibe plus it purports to be Ireland’s oldest pub too! Definitely worth popping in for a pint!

Our meal was okay. Service was friendly & fast. The bar was loud & lively. The restaurant in back was pleasantly festive. Nothing really special though, for all its claim to being the oldest pub. I’ve been to pubs that felt much more quaint & old.

For the history alone, this is a must visit. In operation since 1098, this place is mind blowing to an American. The bartender told me I was sitting in the "new addition", built in 1805, 30 years after the American Revolution! It doesn't stop there, however, the food is great. Great fish and chips, and my wife raved about the burger!

We were nearing the end of our holiday in Dublin and had been told by many people to check out Brazen Head, so we walked there after Mass on Easter to get a pint. The decor includes many dollar bills signed and stapled to the walls, as well as patches from first responder uniforms from all over the world. Hence, it was plain to see people come and have a great time here. We were able to get two stools inside at the bar and enjoyed our conversation with the bartender. This place should be on every pub crawler’s list.

We were recommended this pub from a tour guide on a boat cruise. We were so glad we visited and was welcomed by friendly staff and served up home cooked food of the highest standard. The pub had a lovely atmosphere and was really buzzing with lots of customers and staff. We’re so glad we visited and will recommend to anyone visiting Dublin. Thank you.

Great lunch but even better pub feel! We arrived 20 minutes prior to opening and by the time of opening there was a line outside! Quickly filled up so I recommend arriving early. We had cheeseburgers which were absolutely delicious! Quick and delicious!

Went here for dinner and then later for live music. The food I would say was good, but not over the top. We had better food at other pubs in Ireland. Again not bad, but nothing special. The best was when we went back later for live music. The band was fantastic, and they really got the crowd engaged and involved. Went back more than once for the music.

Our favourite experience in Ireland. We took a sister’s trip to Ireland and we wanted to experience the music and pubs more than anything. Brazen Head did not disappoint! It’s the oldest pub in Ireland, dating back to 1198. The music was phenomenal!! The most fun I think I’ve ever had, can’t help but stomp your feet and clap along! This place is a gem and we are so happy we got to experience it! Thank you Ireland for everything!!
