“Dificult to hear”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed May 25, 2012 NEW

Disappointed, expensive night out and really couldn't hear half of what was said. We arrived early so that I ask to be seated closer, however the host on arrival made it sound like it was impossible. They have a number of rooms going at the same time and it's really busy. More

“Wonderful evening”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 23, 2012 NEW

Overall we had a wonderful time at An Evening of Food, Folklore and Fairies!! Johnny, our storyteller, was nothing but first-class and his voice had me feeling so soothed and relaxed. The stories of Irish history and folk tales were enchanting. Literally. I could listen to him over and over again. The music was also great in the middle of... More

“Great fun! Even better food!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 22, 2012 NEW

This was as good as the reviews said it was! I thoroughly enjoyed it, however my friend was not as keen on it as I was hoping by the end of it. Either way, different preferences! The storyteller (for the life of my I can't remember his name) was amazing and very entertaining! I really enjoyed all the history and... More

“Fun evening.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 22, 2012 NEW

After reading the reviews I expected a great evening. We went the first night we were in Dublin - a bit jet lagged - but a great way to keep awake. I loved the fact it is upstairs from the oldest pub in Ireland. I expect for some, a pub with live music in Temple Bar would be more entertaining... More

This event is a must do while in Dublin, Ireland. I came across it while doing a search for something different to do and am so glad that we went. We were a group of 8 and everyone had a good time. I am Vegan and they totally accommodated me by providing a fresh lettuce salad, steamed vegetables and rice.... More

My husband and I spent a very entertaining 3 hours at "An Evening of Food, Folklore and Fairies" at the Brazen Head pub. The evening consists of a three-course dinner of traditional Irish food ordered off a set menu interspersed with Irish folklore and storytelling and a bit of live Irish music. The storyteller was very good at his craft... More
