    Dub Linn Stew
    Jenny S.

    We stopped into The Brazen Head before heading to a show at the Omaha Community Playhouse. It had been a while since our last visit, but it felt good to be back. We found our own seats and were greeted right away. That's always a good sign! Drinks came out fast: waters, sodas, and tea. It's a Pepsi joint, but they've got Diet Mountain Dew on tap, which honestly deserves a small round of applause. Happy hour was still going, so naturally, we had to order a couple of appetizers. The Jamaican jerk wings were perfect: hot, fresh, and full of flavor. No complaints there! The cheesy artichoke dip was tasty but a little thick and on the cooler side. The place was getting busy, so we decided to just go with the flow and enjoy. For dinner, I went with the creamy onion soup, and my husband had the Dub Linn Stew in a bread bowl. My soup hit the spot, and since it was buy one, get one 50% off, I grabbed another to take home for lunch the next day. The stew looked great, though maybe a bit smaller than we remembered. All in all, we had a cozy meal in a charming Irish pub that still holds up after all these years. A great spot to warm up, fill up, and kick off a fun night out!

    Enjoyed the Irish Pub atmosphere, fun things to look at on the walls. We just stopped for a cocktail and my espresso martini was good.

    Just stopped in for a drink. Bartender very nice and efficient. Holiday drinks hit the spot. Cozy place.

    Stop in for lunch. They were super busy and appeared to only have two waiters. The waiters did a very good job of keeping up and they were very friendly. Came specifically for the creamy onion soup which is so good. You actually get chunks of melted cheese with each spoonful so it is a bit rich, but oh so good. The large croutons on top become chewy in a really good way. Piping hot and a delicious treat once in a while.

    I've been going to Brazen Head for almost 20 years! Always received great service, the atmosphere is relaxing, and the food is delicious. My favorite sandwich for the last five or so years is the prime minister's prime rib sandwich but it this economy, we'll have to save it for special occasions. I ordered a burger and my husband ordered the stew. Aside from my aunts recipe (she makes a whiskey sauce) I'll only eat bread pudding here. It's not overly sweet and the bread isn't super mushy.

    Haven't been here in years. LOVED all the happy hour choices. We got chicken wings, chicken tenders and spicy cheese curds. Everything came out hot and fresh and tasty! I'm picky about my wings and these were done right. The chicken tenders are marinated in Jamaican jerk seasoning and served with sweet and sour sauce. Sounded different and we loved it! Great flavor combo! My husband thought the cheese curds were a bit spicy but I didn't. They were melt in your mouth. I love the atmosphere of this place. Exactly like the pubs in Ireland. Service was fast and friendly! We were very happy and will definitely be back soon!!!

    Always a great time! We came for St. Patrick's day and it did not disappoint. The prices are fair and the food was delicious. The Irish stew was so rich and flavorful. The Rueben was tender and tasty!! I loved their selection of spring cocktails on top of their already huge drink menu. This place has every classic Irish drink and dish you can think of. The inside is beautiful and interesting. There's always something new to discover inside. The staff is friendly and quick. I want to come back for their bottomless mimosas they do on Sundays for $15

    i made the mistake of coming to THE Irish pub on St. Pasdy's day. By the time I arrived, they were out of food, and had a limited supply good Irish Whiskey. Katie - the manager - invited me back...and I finally made it. i started with a Teeling - if you have never had a goodn Irish Whiskey, this is definitely one to try. i prefer it with two small ice cubes. Their onion soup.... amazing. I actually prefer it over French Onion Soup. It was very creamy and just ...perfect. I wanted to lick the bowl... The Boxty was highly recommended, so i went with the Ruben, with a side of Kraut. (Yes - i am a fan of sauerkraut with my corned beef.) It did not disappoint. It was kinda like a ruben taco with mashed potatoes. The perfect Irish dish. It was well proportioned, and the perfect size. the corned beef was thinly sliced and layered inside the pancake with swiss, and sauerkraut. Delicious and highly recommended.

    Brazen Head has been in our rotation of places to dine at for years now, and it never gets old! The ambiance is super warm and homey, with comfy booths and little wooden tables around the center. The decor is filled with cute Irish signage like Jameson and Guinness advertising pieces and old photos. Their menu tells the story of their founding and how their bar was made in Ireland and shipped over, based on the oldest pub in Ireland, also called Brazen Head. (I have actually been to that pub in Ireland and I totally see the influence!) There is also another side of the establishment called the Robert Emmet Room, to use for events, parties, and overflow. I have have been there for both a private party and as overflow on St. Paddy's Day. It's a super cute space so take a look at that for your next party or event. The service is always absolute fabulous. Even when the place is super busy and bustling, the servers are always killing it with how often they check on you, give recommendations, and answer questions. Now, onto the most important part - the food! For starters and side items, our favorites are: -Baked Onion Soup: They have a soup du jour each day, but they have this Baked Onion Soup every day, and thank heavens they do. It's so ooey gooey and the perfect amount of slaty savoriness, with melty cheese on top. I always ask for extra bread or croutons with it to get a toothsome bite every once in a while by letting it soak in there. -Farmhouse Brie: This is just super fresh brie cheese, lightly breaded and fried. It's served with a bunch of little toasty bread points for spreading the brie on it, and then a little cup of Cumberland sauce (almost like a jelly). The sweetness of the sauce with the pungent bold flavor of the brie works perfectly. Entree-wise, my husband and I like to cycle between a few things that are our faves: -Fish and Chips: This is just a simple thing that a lot of places have on their menus, but it's a step above here because it's just done super well. Tasty beer breading, expertly fried (read: not too crispy!), and so tender and never overcooked. The tartar sauce is obviously homemade or at least sourced from a high quality manufacturer. The fries on the side are no throwaway either. They are crispy and salty, and never burned or even worse, limp and soggy. -Chicken Salad Sandwich: This is not available on the weekend menu, just during the weekday lunch hours, which is a shame because it is SO good. It's made of not-too-crunchy toast, slathered with mayo, and filled with a slightly sweet chicken salad (I think maybe there are grapes in the chicken salad that gives it the sweetness?) If you can make it here during the lunch hours during the week, definitely give this a try if you're a chicken salad fan! -Boxtys: These are always a good choice and there are so many flavors to pick from. A boxty is a potato pancake (almost an "omelette") filled with any combo of flavors to make the options you choose. My favorite is the Cordon Blue Boxty, which is full of Black Forest ham, Swiss cheese, chicken breast, and topped with the most divine cream sauce. Definitely ask for extra cream sauce because it's that good. -Rueben: My husband is a Reuben connoisseur, and maintains that this is the best in Omaha! It comes on a marble rye bread and is heaping with the fillings of corned beef, sauerkraut, havarti cheese and plenty of 1000 Island dressing. Again, something you can get a lot of places, but why do that when the best is here at the Brazen Head?! The atmosphere, service, and delicious food make Brazen Head a perfect 10.

    Brazen Head is a staple for celebration dinners in our family. You just really can't go wrong with a draft irish beer and some fish and chips! Some other items they have that we really enjoy are the spicy cheese curds, the salads, and the various boxty options. Service is always great, and if you're lucky, you'll get to enjoy some live music!

    Creamy Baked Onion Soup

    The best french onion soup in the world!! We go out of our way for it and stop every time we're in the area. If you look French onion soup you must try it. We've tried other things on the menu and they're great!! Always an awesome experiment here, staff is super friendly!

    Great fish & chips & good creamy onions soup. A cup was enough. My French dip tasted like old beef used.

    What if any gluten free options are available on the food menu?

    Honestly, I don't remember seeing gluten free options on the menu.

We had potato skins with cheddar and bacon as an appetizer. It was tasty but not wonderful. Bookguy had fish and chips. The fish was great, very crispy and light. It was a big portion so leftovers provided dinner later. The fries were a generous size and good too. I had a patty melt on rye with a salad. The salad was pretty standard and I really liked the patty melt-- big enough to take half home and not greasy. It was rather noisy while we were there and they probably could have used another server. We enjoyed our lunch and plan to come back again.

I went with the fish and chips and was blown away by this portion size and flavor! Two HUGE cod filets accompanied by a side of fries, but I went with the onion rings as I heard they were delicious. The cod has a thick, crunchy breading around it, making it very very filling. The onion rings were very unique. Not a long onion deep fried, but small onion pieces within the breading. I've never had something like that before, but they were golden brown and amazingly crunchy. Make sure you get extra tartar sauce for this dish because you're going to need it! Service was quick and easy for a take out order. I would come back for another meal to try their other menu options and drinks. Thanks for a great first impression!
