Brazen Head Irish Pub

This place is close to my condo so we keep coming back out of convince. The truth is it is average and nothing special. I have yet to find anything that I would order again, but we seem to continue to come back and I keep trying. I find this is the case with nearly all Liberty Village restaurants, people come back simply because it is convenient. They do have decent specials so you don’t mind paying for OK food when the prices aren’t too bad. It is what it is.

Have been a few times. mostly because of proximity to Enercare Centre or because friends chose it. While it’s never been bad, it’s never been great either.
First visit here I had the Fish and Chips. It was pretty decent. Fish was nicely battered, and the fries are good.
Next visit I ordered the Double Burger. Comes with lots of cheese, bacon, some tasty mayo and a fried egg on top. A good looking burger and arrived straight out of the kitchen, and tasted as good as it looked. Nice fresh kaiser for the bun. Fries were some of the better than most I’ve had in the city, but it loses points for the patties being frozen and not handmade. For a joint in Liberty Village where snobbery reigns supreme, they could do a fresh patty.
Service has been good both times, but not great. Last visit the waitress disappeared for longer than necessary a few times, but was friendly and for the most part attentive.
It’s one of only two pub options around the area, so the choices are slim pickings, but I’d say you won’t hate it if you go. Like I said, not bad, not great. Just watch out for the d-​bags. They are everywhere.
Worth a trip. One.

Went there the first time today. Liked the fact that they had Sam Adams on tap. Their tap selection is good. The Bartender was good. The environment was good.
I ordered wings. The chicken had an after taste. As if it wasn’t fresh. Did not like them.

It’s an okay place to hang out with friends in Liberty village. They have different beers on special ($ 4.5) every night of the week. I would have given it more stars if it wasn’t so loud in there every single time we were there. They have the sports going on TVs and a live band singing at the same time; the noise level became overwhelming making it very hard to chit chat with friends during the game.
Nachos were disappointing. It’s $ 15 for basic nachos and $ 5 for meat and $ 3 for guac. I don’t like how they mixed in the salsa, sour cream into nachos making it very soggy. Normally, you get salsa and sour cream on the side. I paid $ 20 for my nachos and there wasn’t enough cheese and it was soggy.
I would suggest getting anything else on the menu but nachos. Wings and fries are good.
We were there during Blue jays game. And we got to pick a player, and our player hit a home run so we got free pitcher of beer (or you can pick an app). So this was nice

Not sure if my review will even be noticed but here goes…
First time here, waitress placed us into what could be described as a nice quaint «booth» like corner on the patio that gave us some privacy, away from the other tables. Sure the waitress didn’t have two menus, but this place was so busy and clearly adorned by others, who’d care. We didn’t. This place rocks. Clean, professional staff, old fashioned feel in an upbeat newer area, great food, quick service, and good sight lines.
Don’t expect to find parking easily in the area. Not their fault they seem so good.

Fear not, Unilocalers. Bro culture is alive and well in Liberty Village.
This neighbhourhood, man. It’s clean and a faux, like a movie set. Beautiful old brick buildings turned into everything one could need sitting below towers filled with bros, yuppies and young families that crush on the condo scene. There aren’t quite enough businesses (yet) to handle the amount of people living here, so everywhere is always smoking busy. Brazen Head is no different.
It was the first day of American football, so my friend and I who had earned lunch after some aggressive furniture shopping were surrounded by jack asses while we dined. Be smarter than us, and google if it’s a heavy sports day before heading into a pub in Liberty Village with TVs. Oy.
The above being said, this place has a lot of redeeming qualities. A caesar bar where you can decorate your own drink during brunch, huge portions, fresh fries and a nice staff. Try the club of the fried chicken sandwich with side salads if you are hungry and enjoy big pieces of chicken and lettuce with whimsy.

This is a really convenient, nice pub close to the exhibition grounds. Approximately 5 – 10 min walk from the GO Station.
This was my second time here. On event nights, they have a more restricted menu but it is enough of a selection to satisfy the palates of most picky eaters! The food was above standard pub fare with a unique and varied menu. The Cuban tacos were my favourite — delicious!
The service was fantastic. I don’t remember the servers name but she was sweet and attentive and prompt, even with the place being a full house.
Lots of room. Great patio in the heart of Liberty Village! No complaints!

This is one of the best restaurants in liberty village because of its wide selection of beer and food. Their patio is great for summer days and their live music is great too! Give it a try if you’re in the area.

Je né recommande franchement pas, les serveuses ont la tronches jusque la parterre, tu n’as fini ton verre qu’elles viennent te demander si tu en veux encore… Et cerise sur le gâteau, le supplément de guacamole pour les nachos tiens à peine dans une cuillère à soupe…

It’s a very low key, local spot. It has an Irish pub feel and had a live musician. It’s a shame it was dead on a Saturday night. The beer on tap and bottled beer were both decent.

This place is good for drinks, not so much of food. Chaotic service due to holiday. Minimal menu selection. Kitchen was really hold back. Waited for an hr plus for my chicken Burger and it turned out fries being too burnt and bun of the Burger was still cold. Seems like just randomly thrown onto a plate. Our server wasn’t quite friendly, probably due to busy tables turnover. In general, I would choose another patio to sit in.

Hostess did not ask if the table she sat us at was okay or let us know who our server was. She also didn’t let our server know we had been sat.
Server was nice.
Food came out in a reasonable time.
I ordered Huevos thing — super greasy and hard to eat due to how it was arranged.
My dining partner ordered the ribs — they were boiled which neither of us like. Sauce was just okay. Fries were good. Gravy was super watery.
Not worth the money.

I like this place … I gave it three stars because pubs shouldn’t get more than that in my opinion.
I live next door so this place is a great no brainer watering hole.
Food is ok and if you go on the right day of the week there are great specials like half price appetizers on Tuesday’s etc.
Beer selection could be more extensive in the craft department.
Brunch was ok.
Patios are great in the summer.
I recommend this place!

Best Irish pub in liberty village. No attitude, best prices in LV and amazing food! If you want attitude with crappy food, go to Local LV.
Brazen head has amazing Guinness-​brazed ribs, pot roast boxy to die for, and beer specials everyday for lunch.
The fish and chips is $ 16, but the chunk of haddock is enormous!

Went there on a Monday, which is half price wings night. Ordered 3 lbs, and wings themselves were delicious and very large! We were required to get a drink with each order, but even an order of water sufficed to get the deal.
Other than that, the atmosphere was charming, even for a Monday night.

Un pub assez nouveau dans un quartier qui l’est encore plus, pratique pour les rencontres d’affaire ou rendez-​vous avec de jeunes informaticiens ! Rien de très remarquable outré une grande terrasse et un service agréable et efficace.

I decided to check out this pub in Liberty Village for a lunch snack. I can you tell you right away this is a sort of meeting place for TFC games! The patio was 90% filled with fans having lunch and whetting their appetite before the game.
I ordered the jerk chicken flatbread and lager (forgot already which one, sorry!). The food was satisfying. It was the right amount and good seasoning. I have a small stomach so something light is mighty satisfying for me.
Great and friendly service.

A place to have fun, chat and wait before the TFC game start. tons of variety of drinks and as every pub is a good place to hang out.

I just recently visited this place with my boyfriend after hearing for sometime about it, we were planning on going to Williams Landing across the way however it was so packed we didn’t want to wait for a table so we meandered across the street.
We were very promptly greeted by a friendly server adorned in what seemed like more traditional Irish attire and sat at a cozy table in the large room on the main floor. I wasn’t able to make a tour this time but the space looked clean and spacious with antique furnishings and aesthetics. They have several patios on various levels but by the time we had arrived it was dusk and a little chilly so we opted out of the patio this time around.
Our server was knowledgeable and pleasant, she made great recommendations, even the food runners were incredibly courteous and helpful making our dining experience all the better.
They had an abundance of Irish beer on tap; I was able to try a beer that I ended up liking very much, Kilkenny Cream Ale; a darker but smooth and creamy beer I would never have thought I would have liked.
They didn’t have a large menu but an intriguing one making it initially hard to decide what to go with but we ended up ordering the Jerk Chicken & Mango flatbread as an appetizer which was fantastic! Usually I am not a big fan of flat bread but it was a unique fusion of flavors that worked really well, sweet and savory. The added touch of greens drizzled with dressing finished the dish perfectly, Ideal for sharing or a light appetizer before your meal.
For Entrees I ordered the Guinness Burger with Caesar and my boyfriend the Grilled Reuben with Spinach Salad and both were beyond incredible. I tend to be very picky with my burgers and this burger was I have to say one of the BEST burgers I have gotten while eating out in a long time… perfectly cooked, juicy and flavorful without tasting to greasy or gamey. And the Caesar, although simple was spot on and with the perfect amount of dressing and real bacon. I was so busy with my burger that I didn’t accept the offer to try his Grilled Reuben which looked ridiculously good with marble bread and piles of house made corn beef… drooling… but I did try the spinach salad with strawberries and candied pecans, it was light and sweet, something I would definitely order again.
I am honestly surprised we had any room left for anything after this but we ended up inquiring about dessert, they apparently have the best home made apple pie with ice cream but it takes 20min so we decided to go for the peanut butter and chocolate cheesecake I believe it was… anyway it was obviously tasty but what cheesecake isn’t?! This however was a generous portion I will admit but next time I will remember to order the apple pie in advance

I was craving ribs and decided to try them here, but I was disappointed. The ribs were cooked great and falling off the bone. However, I found the sauce too sweet, and it overpowered the taste of the ribs. I wouldn’t order the ribs again.
My boyfriend ordered the paella, which was again ok. If you are looking for something in the area and close by this is good for a drink. I’ve heard their wings are good, so I might try that next time I come. But I won’t be back in a hurry.

Love the patio at Brazen Head Irish Pub!
Nothing beat having a drink on the patio after wandering around Liberty Village!
There are option of shade and full sun because of the size of the patio. I always opt for the half shaded as I get burnt really easily.
Service is efficient and friendly. Beer selection is meh but I do enjoy drinking my Hoegaarden. ½ price appetizer during Happy Hour, sounds good to me!

we began our bar/​pub/​lounge hopping night in Toronto’s Liberty Village, neatly tucked away in a cute social environment, my compadre and I decided to try Brazen Head irish pub for starters.
Great place to sit back, and have a beer whilst listening to a live band on a saturday night.
I had a glass Chiani while my buddy had a pint of Leffe.
For food we ordered their nachos which I give a ⁴⁄₅ for taste, quantity and bang for buck.
Secondly we decided to try was their Turkey burger sliders served with coleslaw. Though this had flavor, the meat was quite tough to chew. As a result this was worth a ³⁄₅.
Overall experience ⁴⁄₅ The ambience, and décor has a cozy and welcoming aura, and the endless amounts of people coming in, makes this place a popular hang out for many locals.

Perdu dans liberty village, oui je dis ça car l’arrêt de bus pour regagner dowtown est à 10 min de marche ce qui est très loin pour Toronto, le Brazen Head offre cependant une ambiance de fou surtout pour la St Patrick. Les canadiens savent définitivement faire la fête: avec un service commençant à 11h du matin et 2 shifts qui s’enchaînent jusquèà 2h du mat… Vous retrouvrez les valeurs sûres comme la Guiness, la Kilkenny et la HARP. ajoutez quelques Irish Car Bomb et vous aurez la recette d’une St Patrick réussie.
Tout le monde vient avec un élément vestimentaire vert et idéalement un chapeau de leprechaun ou des stickers sur le visage.
Le bar en lui même est au top, patio en bas, patio en haut, grande salle pour les groupes et serveurs courant partout efficacement.
A recommander donc si vous habitez dans le coin.
/​/​Lost in Liberty Village, yeah the closest bus stop to go back to downtown is at 10 minutes walk which is quite far for Toronto! Brazen Head has still that crazy spirit that shows that canadian people know how to party. Starting with a good pint of Guiness, Kilkenny or Harp at 11 am and keep on going during two full shifts, congrats to the staff.
Everyone comes here with a green shirt or whatever or event the leprechaun hat or stickers on their face.
The bar itself is awesome with 2 patios, huge main room for groups and in the middle of all this waiters who run around with the orders very efficiently.
Definitely a place to try if you live in the area.
