The Brazen Head defines schizophrenic identity for a restaurant/pub.
On one hand, wander in there at certain times and you'll see frat packs not even pretending to be classy, just there because it's close to campus and in a strip mall, which is what they live for. The girls probably just got fake tans a few shops down.
On the other hand, the ownership tries to keep it a classy, semi-authentic spot, even in a strip mall. The bar and some of their other furnishings were shipped in from Ireland, and they do a good job of bringing together Irish style food with American tastes. Their food rarely disappoints, and usually impresses. They offer the right beers, have special rooms for private gatherings, yet don't put on pretension. Overall, a pretty good spot most of the time, and definitely a place worth checking out.

This is a departure from my normal scene and proved to be more entertaining than an art opening, punk show, or even mud wrestling.
Well, mud wrestling is actually more entertaining...
But Thursday is dollar drinks for pretty much anything you want. $1 for a shot of Jameson is pretty nice...
