    It’s not often I’m surprised but this was a revelation. Having googled Glasgows Toughest Pub the Brazen Head popped up and I was curious as to how accurate the rumours were. I can now confirm they are hogwash. On arrival it’s a lot to process for a non Celtic fan and likely a no go if you have no interest in the club or football. Inside you’ll find loads of interesting apparel and decor celebrating Celtic FC. The prices are stupidly cheap and the bar staff were professional and friendly. There’s no other bar I can really compare it to. Be warned that whilst it’s huge it gets absolutely packed on match days. A must visit for those with a connection to the club

    I go once a month usually for a game of pool and a chat with some people who i get to know as the time goes by, the bar staff are pleasant and friendly, I have been within the premise when not busy and really busy, of which is a good place to be.

    Sat at the bar I was debating between three dishes. The bartender recommended the Bacon and Cabbage. It was amazing. Definitely the best meal that I had in Dublin!

    Really good food and drinks. We had beef stew and chicken goujons. Very tasty. Tried the brown bread, also very tasty! Service was friendly and quick. Impressed with the food. Drink options were great. Little crowded since it was July peak tourist season.

    It was a pleasure to been there. After visiting Celtic Park, it was an amazing place to let the day end. Cheers to James who was a very kind Soul. Greetings from Germany.

  • 5/5 Barry H. 9 months ago on Google
    One of the best Celtic/Irish bars in Glasgow.Its been a favourite of mine since I was 18/19 I'm now in my mid forties. IL pop in anytime I'm in that area,as I've always had good craic and meeting bhoys and ghirls from everywhere. Fun fact: A relation was at the Barras and got offered a stolen Eire Og live at the Brazen head cd,off a local backstreet salesman at the Barras,when it was first released,and I got giving it on her return.Probably thee best Rebel cd to come out of Glasgow. Ohhhh Yessss iii amm.
