Overall we had a wonderful time at An Evening of Food, Folklore and Fairies!! Johnny, our storyteller, was nothing but first-class and his voice had me feeling so soothed and relaxed. The stories of Irish history and folk tales were enchanting. Literally. I could listen to him over and over again. The music was also great in the middle of... More

This was as good as the reviews said it was! I thoroughly enjoyed it, however my friend was not as keen on it as I was hoping by the end of it. Either way, different preferences! The storyteller (for the life of my I can't remember his name) was amazing and very entertaining! I really enjoyed all the history and... More

After reading the reviews I expected a great evening. We went the first night we were in Dublin - a bit jet lagged - but a great way to keep awake. I loved the fact it is upstairs from the oldest pub in Ireland. I expect for some, a pub with live music in Temple Bar would be more entertaining... More

This event is a must do while in Dublin, Ireland. I came across it while doing a search for something different to do and am so glad that we went. We were a group of 8 and everyone had a good time. I am Vegan and they totally accommodated me by providing a fresh lettuce salad, steamed vegetables and rice.... More

My husband and I spent a very entertaining 3 hours at "An Evening of Food, Folklore and Fairies" at the Brazen Head pub. The evening consists of a three-course dinner of traditional Irish food ordered off a set menu interspersed with Irish folklore and storytelling and a bit of live Irish music. The storyteller was very good at his craft... More

The information and presentation in this evening was wonderful! It is evident that the gentleman narrating is passionate about folklore and preserving the less "Official" history of Ireland. This isn't a rip-roaring evening of pub-songs, but it will transport you to another time (or perhaps to another place in our time), where people think and live very differently differently. The...

A great night of wonderful traditional Irish grub, interesting historical facts and enjoyable tales of Ireland in an earlier time. This night was worth the money, but at least one drink included would have been nice. I would recommend you hit this early in your Dublin visit as it really helps explain some of the Irish traditions. There were some... More
