Brazen
Head
Lower
Bridge Street on the south of the city. Keep going up the quays past the
big glass Dublin Corporation offices, past the Four Courts across the
river and there near the bridge (Bridge Street) is the Brazen Head.
Now, I know
I included this in the Temple Bar area and it is a bit far from there
but it has to be included in any guide to Dublin pubs. This pub goes back
quite a few years and is another good example of a top pub for both locals
and visitors. Music too plays a part with sessions on Saturday nights
getting the blood flowing.

Despite
it being a bot out of the way, the Brazen gets fairly busy especially
at weekends during the summer. Has an open courtyard at the front
which can be a great spot during fine weather. |
Decor |
|
Nothing
special, the usual wood stuff. There are three bars which give you
a chance to move around though not too easily when its busy. |
Scoring |
|
Not
to be ruled out especially among visitors looking for a bit of romance
after a few beers and some music. |

Mixed.
Young, old and middle aged. |
Beer
Standards |
|
Pretty
good. One of the best pubs in Dublin city for decent beer. |
And
the toilets? |
|
Quite
small and usually a queue when its busy. Women have it even worse. |
Overall |
|
One
of Dublin's great pubs. Even though it's a tourist hotspot, it still
retains enough character to give you a good time. |
