We wanted to see the Brazen Head and thought this would be a great way to do it. This presentations was not in the pub area. It was actually up on the top floor of the building in a room that could have used some paint. The storyteller was interesting but there was a very long break between courses of... More

This evening was good value and entertaining, but even though my parents are fairly fluent in English, they didn't understand everything. They have no problem talking to people and keeping a conversation in English, I would say their English is advanced, but still it was hard to follow this gentleman. Also, teenagers would probably be bored. The young children were... More

This was one of the best nights of our trip! The Brazen Head, and its history, was so interesting and amazing. The dinner was very good and Helena is an incredible story teller. As well as being an excellent story teller, she was friendly and welcoming to all of us. The music topped off the evening well. Would highly recommend... More

This was a good night out but I thought there would be more story telling, I think the musicians played 3/4 songs maybe more and none were traditional Irish music more like folk music. The room we were in held 5 very large tables and one table did not turn up until gone 7pm which may have condensed the evening.... More

This was a truely magical eveing. It gave me goosebumps. Our host for the evening was Philip and he was amazing at telling us the history of the fairies and an insight into life back then in Ireland. I love the fact we were mixed all together on a table so you got to meet different people from all over... More

During a recent visit to Dublin, a group of four of us booked at The Brazen Head pub for an evening meal, a session of story telling, and Irish folk music. The venue could not have been better, a very old traditional style pub. About fifty of us were seated for a very acceptable three course meal in a private... More

Found this on Trip Advisor and definitely was not disappointed! It was a wonderful 3 hours of food, music and storytelling. Johnny is an amazing storyteller who gets you to open your mind and imagination throughout the evening. It's spectacular to hear the stories of folklore and fairies and how these stories still impact modern day Ireland. I highly recommend... More

Everything about this evening was GREAT! Philip, our storyteller was incredible, I was completely mesmerized by his storytelling and my eyes were glued the whole time. The musicians jazzed up the night with their good humor and great songs. The food was also delicious- the stew and even my dessert (apple pie) were scrumptious! This is how we spent our... More
