Located near Temple Bar just off the quays The Brazen Head pub Dublin claims to be Ireland’s oldest pub. It can be traced back to 1198 although it is unknown how much of the original building still exists. However it still retains a sense of history and preserves the look and feel of an old tavern.

The pub retains the charm and characteristics of it’s past and in particular it’s patrons, who have included such literary figures as James Joyce, Brendan Behan and Jonathan Swift and historical figures such as Robert Emmet, Wolfe Tone, Daniel O’Connell and Michael Collins and pictures of many of these as well as more modern celebrity visitors adorn its walls.
