Zach Bryan is having the craic in Ireland ahead of his three sold-out concerts at Dublin's Phoenix Park this weekend.
Bryan - the American singer-songwriter noted for hits including "I Remember Everything," "Something in the Orange," and "Oklahoma Smokeshow" - paid a visit to The Celt on Dublin's Talbot Street this week ahead of his string of Irish gigs.
"Shout out to the Celt last night," Bryan wrote on an Instagram story on Friday, "best damn bar in Ireland."
On Friday, The Celt took to social media to share pictures and clips from their session with the Grammy winner and his entourage.
"Zach Bryan, the King of Country arm wrestling the King of Talbot Street on Wednesday night only one winner?" the Dublin pub said, sharing the clip that Bryan had posted to his Instagram stories.
"Shoutout to Zach, strongest man I ever wrestled, as strong as an ox."

Not surprisingly, it looks like the revellers joined in on a proper singsong of both American and Irish classics.
"I'm on Fire" by Bruce Springsteen was on the set list ...

"I heard Zach Bryan’s dad is gonna have some tickets to give away but you’ll have to sing for them."
