In Miami , we ’re known for our bang-up Irish inheritance about as much as ourspectacular gadget driver . But just because we do guayaberas better than we do Guinness does n’t mean the city is completely lacking in Irish bar . Quite the contrary , in fact . As you ’re pose back trying to plan what lie to say your hirer to get out of work March 17 , take a look at this list of the beneficial Irish ginmill in South Florida so you ’ll know where to celebrate – and make certain there are no picture of you on Instagram .
The Playwright Irish Pub
The Playwright probably could have become one ofMiami ’s well bad conclusion barssimply by go under up workshop on Washington Ave . But it ’s become the bar of option for people who come to Miami to drink – and not to be seen – so crazier things happen here than in most high muckamuck subdivision . Once it expanded into the outer space next door , the antics engender a small more spread out , but a Saturday Nox in season at the Playwright is still one of the wildest experience in South Beach . And on St. Patrick ’s Day , it has a line that puts even LIV to shame .
Murphy’s Law
The taproom that started as the Coconut Grove epicenter for University of Miami Thursday nights move up to the Hard Rock over a decennium ago , and brought with it the same culture of loud medicine and permissiveness . Here , locals connect uninhibited hotel guest in a ocean of Irish beer and ' fourscore cover tunes . And when show at Hard Rock Live get out , the after - political party necessarily end up at Murphy ’s . The diverse and sometimes anonymous crew lends itself to more mayhem than you ’d expect to see at a streak in what ’s effectively an outdoor shopping shopping centre . But expend enough time on the weekend there and you ’ll see why the company is on equivalence with anything you ’ll find in the nearby clubs .
Mike’s at Venetia
Possibly the skillful matter about Mike ’s at Venetia is that you know everyone who ’s managed to find it is a local , or , at high-risk , a seasonal resident . Tourists do n’t run to venture to the 9th floor of a waterfront condo towboat to have beer and see association football . But once you arrive , you ’re not only treated to the best barroom pizza pie in Miami , you ’ll have a panoramic view of the Downtown apparent horizon and Biscayne Bay ( if you opt to booze on the patio ) . That ’s a self-aggrandising reason why Mike ’s might also be the best topographic point in the urban center to watch firework on July 4th .
John Martin’s Irish Pub & Restaurant
We ’ve told youat lengthabout this pub ’s blackened beefburger , covered in Cajun spices and topped with Roger Bacon and Irish cheddar . But even if your criteria for great Irish bars includes something other than grow your cholesterin , this Coral Gables loyalist is tough to crush . The bar – and much of the woodwork – was brought over from Ireland , and the dark , cool confines make it a welcome break from the voguish shops along Miracle Mile .
Stout Bar and Grill
Say you ’re looking for a spot to watch a typical Irish sporting event , like Conor McGregor being an absolutely insane person . You want to watch in a position that in reality feels like Ireland , proper ? Stout is that barroom . The dark interior , brick walls , and copper - adjoin Browning automatic rifle feel much more Belfast than Broward , and the bona fide Irish food make out out of the kitchen will have you forget you ’re in Florida altogether . But the highlight of Stout ’s year come on St. Paddy ’s Day , where the one-year traditions are play up by a gargantuan Jameson ice luge .
Fadó Irish Pub
We love it ’s a chain , but Fadó , Brickell ’s leading tearing hole , would be impossible to omit . Leaving by that there are Fadós in 13 other cities , this station is everything you ’ve derive to carry out of an Irish bar in a major city . On weekend , it ’s packed with revelers from one of thesexiest neighborhood in America . And on St. Patrick ’s Day , Fadó is ground zero for the Brickell - wide street company that shuts down the entire surface area . So , trusted , it might feel a little corporate , but what it lack in authenticity it more than makes up for in debauchery .
Mickey Byrne’s Irish Pub
Beer in an Irish bar is often limited to tardily - pouring Guinness and a bunch ofkinda bitter material from Europeyou have to pretend to like . Not the case at this Downtown Hollywood boozer , which has 18 beers on tap , including several local 1 that taste nothing like Ireland . But that ’s not to say Mickey Byrne ’s is n’t authentic . It ’s name after a hurl caption from Tipperary ( look that up ) and is THE place in Hollywood to catch soccer matches and rugger . The bill of fare ’s also long on Irish front-runner like cracker & mash , beer , and Guinness coffee cheesecake .
Finnegan’s Way
Going out on Ocean Dr is kind of like give birth car insurance policy : it ’s somethingno ego - respecting Miamian will ever admit to doing . That is , unless you ’re manoeuvre to Finnegan ’s room , an Irish bar across the street from the sand that ’s as good for watching a secret plan as it is for watching multitude in really short drawers and rollerblades . Some might argue that a “ literal ” Irish legal community should n’t have palm Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree in front . But if you want to concern yourself with thing in South Beach being “ real , " you probably should n’t be there in the first place . And when it derive to gravel your Ocean Dr drink on , it ’s probably the only bar that wo n’t make you finger like a tourist .
The Field Irish Pub & Eatery
Though Broward County has about as much of a shortfall of Irish bars as it does leathery old spring breakers , The Field stand out for a couple of ground . First , it ’s as much an Irish eating house as it is a taproom , and second , the nutrient makes it the perfect spot to get a good base before a big dark out . If you choose to stay at The Field , you ’ll revel good live music , with enough outdoor space to avoid said hot music if you do n’t want to hear it . Throw in play stuff like pairing of whiskey with Funky Buddha brews , and you might have the most well - rounded Irish organization in South Florida .
The Irish Times Pub and Eatery
As Coconut Grove has faded away , South Miami has taken the mantle for Southwest Miami - Dade nightlife . Never is this more ostensible than when you hit this Sunset Dr maculation on Wednesday – aka ladies ' night – when girls from Kendall and Coral Gables get together the throng of University of Miami students to make it one of the blistering midweek party in the city . But even on nights where adult female DON’T drink in for free , it ’s still the good Irish stripe down south . For special outcome , The Irish Times even open up the adjacent parking lot to handle the overspill .
