Dating back to 1198, The Brazen Head is Ireland's oldest pub. When you consider that licensing laws only came into effect in 1635, this pub has been serving alcohol before offical licensing laws were even enacted. A short walk from Christchurch Cathedral and The Guinness Brewery, The Brazen Head is well worth a visit for both its historic value and reputation as one of Dublin's best Irish music venues. Enjoy live music and wholesome food in any of the pubs three cosy rooms, or during the summer you can soak up the atmosphere in our enclosed cobbled stone courtyard. If you are looking for the true Irish pub experience we highly recommend a visit to the Brazen Head.
