The Brazen Head is a pub in Dublin, Ireland.
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. This is a matter of dispute, with some sources stating the date of establishment as late as 1613-1775.
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. According to NBC News, some have claimed that the folkloric English outlaw Robin Hood drank here.
The pub features live music and has hosted some famous musicians, including The Dubliners, Van Morrison, Paolo Nutini and Tom Jones.
