Country music star Zach Bryan left a hefty tip for bar staff at his favourite Irish pub during his time in Dublin last week.
The 29-year-old played three sold-out nights at the Phoenix Park with around 180,000 fans heading to the venue across the weekend.

Noel Tynan, owner of The Celt on Dublin's Talbot Street revealed the singer came 'straight' to The Celt after arriving in Dublin for his 'wind-up party.'
Speaking to the Irish Independent, Mr Tynan revealed that Zach had around 100 members of his team at the pub which also saw Offaly band Chasing Abbey pop in for a sing-song.
'Zach also got up and played a few songs himself, which was great,' the publican told the publication. View this post on Instagram

One staff member got talking to the singer and passed a remark about how they were working late in order to pay their college fees, spurring Zach to leave a generous tip behind the bar for staff members.
Mr Tynan told the Independent he jokingly told the singer to leave a million behind when asked how much he should leave.
'He said, 'How about four grand?' And I said, 'How about 10?' – I was joking. I wasn't expecting him to leave anything,' Mr Tynan said, adding that the pair 'met in the middle' and Zach left a €6,000 tip.

'He's a very generous fella,' the pub owner praised.
On Thursday, Zach shared a picture of himself in an arm wrestling match via social media, writing 'shoutout to the Celt last night, best damn bar in Ireland.'
Amongst gig attendees was RTÉ's Oliver Callan who was full of praise on Monday morning, branding it a 'stunning, amber evening.'
Speaking on his RTÉ Radio 1 show on Monday morning, Oliver praised youngsters attending the gig, noting concert-goers were a 'really exceptionally well-behaved crowd.'
The presenter said: 'A wave of soundness hit the Phoenix Park and it was an extraordinary atmosphere — and what an extraordinary punt that was as well; Oklahoma youngster.
'He only played the Helix in Dublin two years ago, and from there to a weekend of massive concerts in the park where the stage and the infrastructure and everything that brings you to the concert has to be built from scratch in a field. It was also a big win for the OPW, we must say, which was in need of one.'
