The Brazen Head is a pub in Dublin, Ireland.

History

The origin of The Brazen Head can be traced back to a coach house established in 1198; however, it is unsure how much of that original structure remains in place today.[1][2][3][4] This is a matter of dispute, with some sources stating the date of establishment as late as 1613-1775.[4][5][6]

A number of famous patrons are known to have visited the establishment, including author James Joyce, who mentioned the pub in his novel Ulysses; Jonathan Swift, author of Gulliver's Travels; Robert Emmet also lived there for some time; others include Brendan Behan, Wolfe Tone and Daniel O'Connell.[1][3][5][7] According to NBC News, some have claimed that the folkloric English outlaw Robin Hood drank here.[8]

The pub features live music and has hosted some famous musicians, including The Dubliners, Van Morrison, Paolo Nutini and Tom Jones.[3][9][10]
