Helena was a perfect host for the evening and her stroies and songs were excellent. The food was also very good and the whole experience was value for money

This was a truely magical eveing. It gave me goosebumps. Our host for the evening was Philip and he was amazing at telling us the history of the fairies and an insight into life back then in Ireland. I love the fact we were mixed all together on a table so you got to meet different people from all over... More

During a recent visit to Dublin, a group of four of us booked at The Brazen Head pub for an evening meal, a session of story telling, and Irish folk music. The venue could not have been better, a very old traditional style pub. About fifty of us were seated for a very acceptable three course meal in a private... More

Found this on Trip Advisor and definitely was not disappointed! It was a wonderful 3 hours of food, music and storytelling. Johnny is an amazing storyteller who gets you to open your mind and imagination throughout the evening. It's spectacular to hear the stories of folklore and fairies and how these stories still impact modern day Ireland. I highly recommend... More

Everything about this evening was GREAT! Philip, our storyteller was incredible, I was completely mesmerized by his storytelling and my eyes were glued the whole time. The musicians jazzed up the night with their good humor and great songs. The food was also delicious- the stew and even my dessert (apple pie) were scrumptious! This is how we spent our... More

We had a lovely time, and very much enjoyed Helena's story telling. The food was 'ok' but the stories more than made up for anything lacking in the food. To be clear, the food was not bad, but it was definately not a '5 star restaurant' either. The atmosphere and stories cannot be beat, though, truly. We hung on Helena's... More

This is a great experience!! The music story telling and food is superb!! It's very educational but in an enjoyable way and you get to meet different people at your table. We are still friends with the people we sat with to this day!

My husband and I booked literally at the last minute and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The meal was lovely and our storyteller Johnny Daly was knowledgeable and entertaining. We enjoyed getting to meet the other people at our table. This was not a touristy sort of outing, it was more like gathering with friends.

My wife and I attended this during our honeymoon. The food was great, the music was fun and the storytelling was incredible. This was a very educational experience that allowed you to learn a bit about the real history of Ireland that you don't get on the popular, super busy tourist activities. If you get a chance to attend this... More
