'I ordered pint in Dublin's oldest pub and thought the price was a joke'
A British YouTuber who goes all over the world to film travel and food vlogs was stunned when he walked into Dublin's oldest pub 16 minutes after it opened. The content creator, known as Just Deano, visited the Brazen Head on Usher's Quay, a pub dating back to 1198. It is promoted as being the oldest pub in the whole country, a title also disputed by Sean's bar in Athlone. However, we know for sure that the Brazen Head is 827 years old, and one thing struck Deano when he visited on a Wednesday afternoon shortly after it opened. Speaking to his 30,100 subscribers, he said: 'It is already packed. It is 16 minutes past 12 and it only opens at 12.' He went on: 'This is very very very busy. I can't believe how busy it is. I have come in straight away, literally 15 minutes after opening, and it is absolutely packed. There is literally just this one little table in the corner or I had to sit at the bar.' From the outset, his intention was to pair a pint of Guinness with a traditional Irish stew and was keen to compare it to Kelly's Cellars in Belfast, where his stew cost 'just €5 or €6'. Straight away, he observed: 'This is more expensive, this is a proper pub restaurant menu.' His stew, priced at €21.90, consisted of prime Irish beef and root vegetables in rich mushrooms and thyme broth topped with herb mash potato. His intention was to pair a pint of Guinness with a traditional Irish stew (Image: Just Deano/YouTube) Taking his first bite, he said: 'Oh my God, that beef just melts away in your mouth. Really really rich flavour on the sauce. Literally didn't have to bite it [beef].' Having a gulp of his Guinness, he spoke about his upcoming bill, and said: '€30 plus for this… which is of course, high pricey. However, when you consider I paid €20.40 yesterday for a Subway, give me this any day of the week.' He described his meal as "absolutely fantastic' and the 'star' of the dish was the beef. After polishing off his lunch, he opted for a second creamy Guinness, before heading out into the sunshine to conclude his review. He said: 'Guys, that was absolutely delicious. Price? Got the receipt here, take a look at this, €38.30. Two pints of Guinness, €16.40 so €8.20 a Guinness… ohhhh. What was it across the road? €7.20 I think.' He was stunned at the receipt (Image: Just Deano/YouTube) He said it was the busiest place he had visited in Dublin, excluding Temple Bar, and described the pub as "unbelievable" and filled with history. Deano also noted that there was no service charge on his hefty bill and he added a €5 cash tip, describing the staff as "fantastic". As for his official score, he concluded: 'It was a proper Irish stew. Was it better than Kelly's Cellars in Belfast? I forgot what I scored that but I imagine I scored it a 10/10 but that is because it is a little old woman, a little grandma, that is cooking one pot and once it is gone it is gone.' He described his food in the Brazen Head as the best meal he had in Dublin, but noting the price, he said: 'I will give it a 9 and a half out of 10. I am hoping I gave Kelly's Cellars a 10 because although it was up there with the flavour, it is obviously the price as well, I am sure Kelly's Cellars was a third of the price of that, but it is what it is.'

Hook Sub Aqua Club snorkels with basking sharks
They made the trip up to Kilcummin where the Western Dive Rally was hosted by the Grainne Uaile Sub Aqua Club and Search and Recovery Unit. The team enjoyed participating in five great dives over two days, and the cooperation of the weather made it that bit more delightful. In making the most of their time on that side of the country, the divers packed up after the rally and headed to Kilkee, in the search for basking sharks that have been spotted in various locations along the Irish coastline this summer in particular. Although the basking sharks weren't spotted on the dives, Alice Cullen of the Hook Sub Aqua Club said: 'Some of us were lucky to snorkel with them. Overall it was a great weekend.' Also enjoying the trip to the west from the Hook Sub Aqua Club was Martin Murray, who described the diving experience as his 'happy place'. The divers explored Ireland's first artificial reef, the MV Shingle, that was once a smugglers' ship. It was dropped into the Western Way last year, having been brought from New Ross, and formerly Dublin Port.
