Brazen Head Irish Pub

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.

Saturday evening, the pub was about 70% full, and there seemed to be only three wait staff members. I have always liked the place. The food was generally good, and the beer was cold. Tonight, we had Onions Rings, which were good but overpriced at $10.99. You got six big rings and a few small rings. We split the 3-piece fish and chips. Unfortunately, the fish was a bit mushy, you would expect some firmness to the white fish. We guessed it was undercooked or wet. Anyhow, it was disappointing. (The table next to us asked us about the fish and chips and we told them) Overall, our server was okay, if not a bit hurried.

Everything was perfect! The food, the ambiance, the staff and my favorite item of all, the creamy onion soup! They were kind enough to give us a copy of that recipe. I had the chicken pot pie and it was overflowing with potatoes and chicken. It was delicious!

The Brazen Head is a great place to hang out. The food is exquisitely wonderful The drinks are reasonably priced. I am now I have bad service at all and Brazen Head at all. I like it a lot my feeling is is it's the best place to go eat.

Great good and experienced. Dropped in with my girlfriend to try something different. Needless to say, no disappointment on our account. The good and service were top notch and appreciated the servers checking if all was satisfactory. I enjoyed the Banger & Mash, highly Irish and she had the Garden Boxty. Definitely looking forward to a Happy Hour.

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!

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.

We like the fish and chips and Shepherd's Pie. They are capable of holding salt and make decent salads. We often come to hear the Irish music. Usually, the staff is friendly and helpful.

Always an amazing experience at Brazen Head. Have been here multiple times for Fish & Chips during Lent, and not Lent times for food with MEAT, haha. Everyone is always on point, food is always on point. Quick service and hot food! I've never seen Brie served like they do, it's a fun twist with the jelly too! One of the top places for Fish & Chips in Omaha. Get there early because during Lent it's hard to find a table for 2 at 5pm! Ambiance is a typical Irish pub, lots of wooden features and plenty of seating. Parking is complimentary in a lot out front!

Ate here the first night. The creamy onion soup was really good. I loved the seasoning! Not a traditional French onion with a coat of cheese, but there was cheese in it. I had the Reuben with it and it was really good. I didn't eat many chips bc I was full on my Reuben and soup. My coworker had the stew with mashed potatoes on top. She said it was delicious. The Galway bay fish and chips. They couldn't tell me if the fish was actually from Galway bay or where it was from, so I passed on that. It did look good though. Being from the east coast, I like to know where my seafood comes from.The atmosphere is cool. Wooden and feels a bit like you might be in Ireland. The staff were all friendly.
