My family thought the traditional Irish stew they had for dinner was the best meal they had on the trip. Regarding the entertainment, I was expecting storytelling and perhaps a play or something along those lines. It was actually a series of three short lectures and a session with a couple of guys doing traditional Irish music. It wasn't exactly... More

I am backpacking so am reluctant to spend alot of money at restaurants but this was something special. Money well spent. The food was delicious. Our story teller was encapsulating and her voice wow! I have told anyone and everyone about this night.

This evening was a lot of fun, and very informative. The talks and stories by Johnny were absolutely fascinating, and the food was top-notch. But the best part of the whole experience was the way Johnny and the staff worked so hard to make us all feel welcome and included. I was traveling solo, and Johnny made a point of... More

Helena is an amazing storyteller and singer. We attended this show on out first night in Dublin, and it was an excellent way to become acquainted with Irish history and folklore. The music was also fun and the food was great. Nice small intimate setting. The pub itself is worth visiting.

Loved everything. It would have been better if we all sat around a fireplace but then where would we put our drinks and food.

This was a great evening. The food was excellent and the entertainment just what we'd hoped for. It was an evening of history and folklore, with even some traditional Irish music thrown in. Highly recommended.

Thought this would be something my parents would enjoy on their first trip to Dublin, and was impressed with the organisation of the evening and surprisingly good food given that 35 people were being served at almost exactly the same time! The stories were informative and singing was fun, the building itself and pictures on the wall interesting, and sharing... More

I found this evening for my mum and she's the big fairy-tale lover of the family. The Brazen Head itself is worth a visit, even if you don't believe it's the oldest pub in Dublin (are cabbie was very adamant that it was not haha)! The menu has a nice selection to choose from and the portions are just the... More
