    The Irish are renowned for their pub culture and conviviality, and Brazen Head doesn't disappoint with their slew of single malts, Irish whiskeys, and draught beer. A hearty meal is essential to give those libation lovers some longevity and the meat-and-potatoes fare is well suited for nourishment long into the night. The Irish stew ($12) – a savory brew of Guinness-braised venison and beef simmered alongside red potatoes and root vegetables – is an obvious choice. The menu bears wonted dishes of fish and chips, pot pies, lamb, meatloaf, and mussels, although the Brazen Head does deviate from its Irish roots by serving lobster pad Thai and chicken makhani.

    The Irish fry ($9) – made famous through its sister pubs like The Pour House and Foggy Dew – is the regular top o’ the morning breakfast, pairing up well with a pint of Guinness (the other Irish breakfast). Legend has it that the original Brazen Head, located in Dublin, was established in 1198. Its brass taps and oak have seen many a visitor since the first pint was poured and it has become a must-see for anyone visiting the Irish capital. Perhaps this Brazen Head will do for Liberty Village what the former did for the whole of Ireland.

    Service was so poor and so slow that we went elsewhere. It feels as if they opened yesterday and are employee green employees in ALL positions. Nice selection of beer but what's that if service holds you back from drinking it?

    We celebrate many events at this Liberty VIllage pub. The Staff and food are the best I have ever had. Good sports ... lots of fun... again, great Staff!

    Good times, good people, good drink, good fare. Actually, better than good, but I'm a bit hung over right now and I don't have the energy to churn out a proper a review. This is a good new spot, however, and I highly approve of just about everything about it.

    The one caveat might be to avoid this place on the weekends, when the, ahem, hipsters take over.

    Check this place out Saturday night it's rocking with a 30 something crowd and often live music. Food good, approachable locals and a fun atmosphere that doesn't suffer from the downtown snottiness that Toronto clubs can be famous for.

    Big deal. Another faux-Irish pub in the midst of the concrete gulag called Liberty Village. This pub chain has done some nice stuff (Mill St.brewpub)but these fake Irish places are getting to be a plague. Boring.
