Zach Bryan reveals his favourite Irish pub – and left jaw-dropping tip for staff

Zach the lad | Staff gobsmacked as the American country superstar gives €6K tip to three staff members The singer, who is performing to 180,000 fans at the Phoenix Park this weekend, with the final of three shows taking place this evening, spent Wednesday night drinking in The Celt on Dublin's Talbot Street after landing in Ireland that day. 'Shout out to the Celt last night, best damn bar in Ireland,' Bryan posted on his Instagram after the visit. And yesterday publican Noel Tynan, the owner of The Celt, told how the Something In The Orange singer gave his three bar staff a total of €6,000 as a tip after hearing how one of them was working late night to pay his college fees. 'Zach was at the counter talking to staff and one of them said he was a student,' Noel reveals. Country star Zach Bryan arm-wrestling pub owner Noel Tynan 'He was asking why he was working so late and he said he was doing it to get a few bob for college. 'Maybe I'll help you,' Zach said. 'So he left a tip of €6,000 for the three of them and said, 'That's his fees paid for now.' He also gave me tickets for a couple of terminally ill children from Crumlin Hospital to attend the show tonight. 'Zach is the most down-to-earth young fella you'll ever meet. He first came here two years ago when he played a couple of nights at The Helix. 'Hugo Keenan the rugby player is pretty friendly with him and my son, Donnacha, is good friends with Hugo. It was Hugo who had brought him back here the first time. 'They had been down in Temple Bar, but it wasn't Zach's scene. He's from a small place called Oologah in Oklahoma, which has a population of 4,000 people. 'Hugo said, 'I know a great pub,' and he brought him here that night and sure he loved it. We have a great mix of tourists and locals and there's a couple of characters in the pub as well and they like that. There's a great céad míle fáilte. The bar staff chat to everyone. 'My son, Donnacha, is a good guitar player and singer. He did a number of Irish ballads for Zach that night and the next thing Zach started singing. He's on YouTube singing songs in The Celt two years ago.' Country star Zach Bryan News in 90 Seconds - June 22nd On Wednesday night Bryan took The Celt's owner Noel Tynan in an arm wrestle – later posting a photo on social media. 'It was a serious arm wrestle and I've seldom been beaten, even by rugby players, but I was shocked how quick he put me down,' Noel said yesterday. 'He's as strong as an ox.' Noel also revealed that while Zach hasn't been back to the bar, which was mobbed on Wednesday after he revealed he was drinking there, his dad Dewayne Bryan has been in The Celt every day since – and was yesterday mingling with country fans and Limerick hurling supporters in the pub.' 'In the last couple of days Dewayne has been giving tickets for Zach's concert to people in the pub who get up and sing,' Noel added. Although most people in Ireland weren't familiar with Zach Bryan before this weekend – his followers found him on YouTube and various music platforms. He first began uploading his songs to YouTube in 2017, with his buddies filming him live on his iPhone. One of his songs, Heading South, finally went viral, which set him on the road to the success he's enjoying today. Following his debut on the Grand Ole Opry in 2021, he then got a record contract with Warner Records. On Spotify, Zach, whose hits include I Remember Everything, was the third most streamed artist of 2024 in the US, with Taylor Swift being tops and Drake in second place.

'Meghan on the other hand really socially mountaineered her way to the top. 'So it's very difficult to take this authentic side that Emma was giving and this complete lack of authenticity that Meghan was showing in the interview, it was very hard to watch.' Royal author and broadcaster Hugo Vickers agreed, saying: 'The thing is, would nobody ever listen to Meghan Markle if it wasn't the fact she'd married Prince Harry? Advertisement Most read in Royals Exclusive 'I mean the social mountaineering - because she's married to Prince Harry - it gives it a soap opera quality which seems to appeal to everybody otherwise no one would care about.

Keir Starmer calls on Kneecap to be dropped from Glastonbury

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has called on the organisers of Glastonbury Festival to pull Kneecap from their line-up, stating it is 'not appropriate.' Last week, band member Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh appeared in a London court on a terrorism charge after it was alleged he displayed a Hezbollah flag during a live performance in the UK in November, 2024. The 27-year-old spoke just to confirm his identity at the beginning of proceedings. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has called on organisers of Glastonbury Festival to pull Kneecap from their line-up, stating it is 'not appropriate.' Pic: Benjamin Cremel –He was granted unconditional bail and is set to return to court on August 20, when legal arguments will be addressed. The band took to the stage at Fairview Park in Dublin the day after the court appearance, and are also scheduled to appear at Glastonbury next weekend with the charge certainly not hindering their popularity. The rap band are set to play the West Host Stage on Saturday from 4pm, with the BBC broadcasting the festival for those who can't make it.

The Sun report that the broadcaster confirmed that 'decisions on our output will be made in the lead up to the festival.' Elsewhere, British PM Keir Starmer has now called for the band to be pulled completely from the line-up, stating 'we need to come down really clearly on this.' DJ Provaí from Kneecap performing at Coachella. Pic: Valerie Macon/AFP via Getty Images Speaking to The Sun on Sunday, the Labour politician said he didn't think Kneecap should play Glastonbury. 'I won't say too much, because there's a court case on, but I don't think that's appropriate,' he answered. The band have a string of gigs lined up over the next couple of months, including Boucher Playing Fields in their native Belfast in August. MThe band will play at the OVO Wembley Arena on September 18, with social media users delighted with the announcement. Pic: BENJAMIN CREMEL/AFP via Getty Images Earlier in June, they announced their 'biggest ever headline show outside of Ireland' was set to take place in London in September. The band will play at the OVO Wembley Arena on September 18, with social media users delighted with the announcement. Next month, the band will play at the O2 Academy in Glasgow in a gig they scheduled to 'make up' to their fans after they were pulled from TRNSMT. The axing came after Police Scotland said the band's performance would require a 'significant policing operation.'
