Garth Brooks treated locals in Dick Mack's Pub in Dingle, Co Kerry to a nice surprise when he walked through the doors.

Brooks drove the rumor mill into overdrive this week amidst his much-hyped string of gigs at Dublin's Croke Park, and speculation was rife that the "Ireland" singer would be taking a much-needed break in the Kingdom of Kerry in between his concerts.

On September 13, the speculation became reality when Brooks treated the unexpected crowd in the Dingle pub to a few songs, and even went behind the bar to pull a pint of Guinness with a little help from the bartenders.

In a clip shared with IrishCentral, Brooks is seen tuning his guitar before singing an acoustic version of "Piano Man" by Billy Joel, and the crowd soon follows suit for a beautiful impromptu singalong.

The visit was filmed by a camera crew and one local who happened to be there said that Brooks had "high security with him."

His wife and fellow country music star Trisha Yearwood was also there and in between songs Brooks told the crowd that afterward, he was heading to one of the local stores to buy her a handmade Irish scarf.

In an Instagram post shared by Dick Mack's, the pub said "Having a pint, sharing stories and singing a song! What it's all about!"
