Great joint for a dive with a good location! 2 for 1 happy hours during the week days before 6 (maybe 7?) that is a great deal. Pool tables and a down to earth crowd so I don't get embarrassed playing best ball. Good location, I hear it's decent food but too overpriced for bar food. Ok service expect a wait. read more

Finnegan's Way - Typical night at finnegans - Sports Bars Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

This is my favorite bar along the beach. Fist, they have good food. The fish sandwhiches are really good, I have not had a bad time in all the years I have been coming here. The outdoor seating is the main draw for me. there is all types of it. Along the sidewalk there are tables for four, and inside the ropes area there are a number of tall bar tables, a couple regular tables, a full traditional bar, and then up a few steps are my favorite seats, above the bar looking out towards the sidewalk. Here is where my friends and I enjoy sitting for a late afternoon lunch with a beer and a view. The coolness from the inside AC makes the heat comfortable during the summer months and the rest of the year the sea breeze take care of the tempreture. Service here is not always the best, but I have no real complaints, it is a bar, and drinks are rarely empty and the food is always served warm at the worse. and like many places I review, I find the staff to be entirely nice. On a side note, one of the reasons that this place is so high on my list of places to go is that years ago while trying to decide if I was going to move to Miami I was in here and struck up a conversation with the owner. I was chatting with him about the pros and cons of Miami, and he pointed out at the beach area, the people, and said "You can work your whole life and retire to a place like this, or you can move here now and enjoy it while you are young." I have not forgotten his words, and I am glad he said them to me in my moments of doubt. read more

Finnegan's Way - Upper bar view out. - Sports Bars Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Went to this place three years ago. Food was good so went back again. It was a mistake. Salad with shrimp and avocado. Poor. Shrimps frozen and defrosted. Soggy. Conch fritters 6 the size of a nickel. 3 had pieces of shell in them. Tomato Bisque soup petty good. Crackers so stale they were difficult to break. There are so many good restaurants in South Beach this was a big disappointment. Go at your own risk read more

Stopped in on my walk back to my hotel while doing some shopping. I went to the bar and decided I want to take a shot of grey goose. There was a nice couple from Ohio sitting next to me, so I bought them shots as well.. I'm thinking what the hell this is Miami ! The bartender took literally FOREVER to ask me what I wanted but she was quick to bring me the shots , and then took FOREVER again to give me my change. Did she really think I was gonna tip her $30? I'm all for being generous and over tipping but don't try getting over on me, I'm no sucker. 1 star is for the poor service and arrogance of the bartender, 2 stars is for the good company I met! I can't judge this place on the food, solely on the service and not even on the cocktail (it doesn't take an rocket scientist to pour liquor into shot glasses). read more

Had the worst experience ever just for espresso. Went there to get a coffee and wait for a friend first I was totally ignored by the bartenders and servers. Finally, I had a chance to ask the bartender for the espresso , she just pointed and said : the other side. I went to the order side once again ignored. Had a chance to order the coffe I was served american coffee. Complained with the manager that I wanted espresso, he kicked me out of the restaurant. I'm so disappointed, been there before , food was good and reasonable price for the location. Won't recommend or ever go back there again. Tips: never go to a place when its changing shift. read more

We came here to watch the Stanley Cup finals and had a great time. Is it the most amazing sports bar in the world .. NO. Is it clean, open and comfortable .. YES. The service was great, they accommodated our request to put the game on .. when clearly NO ONE else in the bar was interested. The drinks came fast and furiously and were NOT $18. As the game went one we decided to order the Molten Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream. Now maybe it was the beer, wine or tequila we had previously ingested but it was delicious. Creamy, moist and iced with chocolate goodness. Overall this is a great sports bar with a decent amount of outdoor seating, friendly wait staff and great specials. read more

Stopped by earlier this week and sat at the bar. Had a few beers, but they were a bit pricey until happy hour hit, which was when they were half priced. Something I found ironic is that they're an Irish establishment, but they were out of Guinness. Fun place! read more

Honestly an amazing spot!! My friends and I love pub's therefore, we fell in deep with this spot!! Its right in the middle of the outlet mall, which makes it great for a nice pit spot to sip on a beer or take some jaeger bomb shots!!! (Which is exactly what we did) loved the food mostly. We all shared appetizers & it was enough for five very hungry girls! The place was not packed when we went therefore service was incredible & super attentive. We loved the vibe and atmosphere. If you're looking for a quick bite to eat this is a good place. They do have happy hour so keep your eye out for that! read more

Ehhh. I did not like the place. The bartender was more interested in talking to her boyfriend then helping us. The food/menu looks really boring. So we didn't eat. The beers were expensive. Maybe it would be better in the summer? read more

My husband and I stopped here to watch the Miami Heat's game. Many Tvs so that's a plus! Super loud and very Irish Pubby! Which again is a great thing if that is what you are looking for! Thought of ordering some good food so I ordered the Twin Lobster Tails recommended by the server and beware!!! They are extra chewy and not at all worth the price! Great presentation no taste and harder than beef. Lesson for us! When you go to a pub order bar food! read more

Absolutely HORRIBLE service, Our server was Richard (what a dick)! He made a big deal out of everything... even splitting our checks. We were nothing but pleasant to him. The food was ok. Nothing spectacular. read more

We had a bit of time to kill before dinner @ the Blue Door and ended up here after walking around the beach for awhile. It's a nice space a the bottom of a beautifully lit art deco hotel, but I could tell that on the weekends I would have paid to be let out. Sat outside and made it in time for happy hours, so I ordered a bucket of beers (3 Presidente's in a bucket of ice for $6) and soaked in the view of the tourists, the freaks, and the locals all strolling down the ocean side. read more

My favorite bar in south beach and this is coming from a local. Bartenders r amazing and very attentive and keep me coming back! Would recommend to anyone local or just stopping in town for a couple days. I love relaxing with this view of south beach! read more

The drinks are nice, and a decent price. (which is the ONLY reason it is getting 3 stars) If you like calamari, do not get it at an "Irish" bar, I dont even know if it was some kind of cruel joke but it was a total waste of 10$!!! Always watch the bill in MB, because gratuity in generally added...dont add more!!! read more

Sometimes you just have to post about the worlds worst salad! Coz no one else will. And let me describe how the salad preparation went-- Take 1 tomato and cut it into 4 pieces Take 1 avocado and cut into 4 pieces Place on bed of greens Add salt n pepper Place dressing on side This is how you create the worst salad ever. In case you want to serve it to your annoying aunt. read more

Witnessed the owner, who was beligerently intoxicated, go on a racist rant against one of his own customers! The icing on the cake for an already terrible visit. The beer was flat. The service was rushed and rude. The chicken fingers were awful! But really, the drunk, racist owner is in the wrong business. I really hope that customer persues legal action. Disgraceful. read more

I stopped by this Ocean Drive tourist trap on St. Patrick's Day, in an attempt to get my Irish on, and ordered a Goose Island IPA (I hate Guinness). "Ten dollars" announced the barmaid, without providing a receipt. Seems pricey I thought...."Does that include the tip?" I asked... "Ummm...yeah" she replied. Needless to say, I only stayed for one beer....I guess I should have known better. I then proceeded to Max's Club Deuce for a few $3.50 Sailor Jerry and cokes, and then to the Abbey for a few Brother Ray's Shwarz Weizenz and free corned beef, so the day was not a total disappointment read more

Great service. Stopped in on a Monday night and watched some Stanley cup finals and had some Dinner. I ordered their pizza, actually for bar pizza it's pretty good. I had the meat lovers and would recommend it to anyone that likes meat lovers pizzas. Nice spot on ocean avenue, come check it out. read more

Wish I could review the food at this place. Hostess was very kind and seated us at the tables outside as requested. We waited...and waited...and waited...and waited...you get the point. 15 minutes later..No waitress, no acknowledgement that we were even there as waitresses walked by, and others hanging out in front. we must've ate some invisible powder. We just got up and left. read more

We were recommended this place by friends and coworkers and were very disappointed. They apparently have a policy of no splitting checks more than two ways and for a group of 6 people on a business trip this just isn't practical. The issue is not in the policy itself, every establishment has their right to establish their own rules, the issue is that we were not informed of this policy until the end of the meal when we asked for the checks. Everything else was spelled out on the menu (automatic gratuity, resort fee etc) except for this part the server never explained it to us etc. Now mistakes happen the server might've forgotten etc but when we called over the manager to explain our issue that all we wanted was to know ahead of time he proceeded to argue with us about something unrelated entirely. All in all bad experience and the food itself was sub par at best. Do not recommend. read more

Food was ok, service was slow it was in between lunch and dinner there was only 1 waitress on. This was however on a busy Friday afternoon.

I just arrived at 9.15am and on the website it said it opened at 9am. I walked in and was verbally abused by the owner for asking what TV the game was being played on and if I could purchase a drink. In all my years I have never come Across such a rude owner toward a client. At this moment I feel very uncomfortable as a client as he told me a was rude and ruined his day.....not sure how asking about what tv the game was being played on made him angry. I actually came here a few days ago and noticed him Being rude also and cutting off 2 girls who didn't look drink at all.....not sure what his issue is read more

This place treats you like family, even if they don't know you. They were very accommodating to all the requests by our party. Special shoutout to the manager Leo Fong, came over to our table to make sure everything was in order and even found our soccer game on cable !! read more

Worst experience ever! Very very bad service! Food not so great ! I just went there because they had the soccer game on. Please avoid this place at all cost. I asked for a warm water and the waitress gave me cold water with ice cubes a couple of times . Then I had asked for another waitress - she gave me the hot water that you could not even hold in the plastic! Amazed to see how bad a casual dining experience can get! Shit place! read more

Irish sports bar on Ocean Drive so a bit of an aberration. We went to watch the NBA playoffs. Good beer selection and food was OK. Jenny our bartender was very helpful. Clientele was not. Multiple very drunk humans who were annoying and not amusing. We are used to this in Boston but were surprised how out of control people were by 6. Nevertheless ok for a beer. read more

Love this place on Ocean drive. Great service and great food. I had the Finnegan burger and my wife had a basic burger. We both loved our meal and loved the service we received. We ate there this past Saturday night. We look forward to our next visit! read more

Great Sports bar, friendly staff, and quick service. Never had to wait for another beer. Plenty of T.V.s to watch the game. Very reasonably priced. Good happy hour specials. We will definitely be going back. read more

Had a problem so I asked to see a manager when she smelled like a whole bottle of tequila so disrespectful she couldn't even talk totally wasted read more

Good food we had the nachos and chicken tenders. For the price you would think the tenders would come with fries but you have to order them. The nachos were very good and enough to share with 2 or 3 ppl. This place is expensive but then again it's south beach. I would eat here again. read more

Pretty much some Irish pub in South Beach. I'm really not sure why anyone would go here unless you just want some Irish/American food and beer. Why not go more south for some Cuban/Miami food? I was here because it's one of the few sports bars and my friend wanted to catch a UCLA game. Service can be slow and the food is mediocre. I only recommend coming here for the same reason I did, for some good old sports-watching. read more

Decent sports bar along ocean drive. Stopped in because it was right there. Food was good, and we got to keep the beer glasses after we were done with the drinks. Nothing stellar, just your average sports dive. read more

I'm solely going back to Miami to come to this place! One of the funnest bars I've ever been to. The food is amazing and goes well with all your beers, cocktails, drink specials and shots. Great place to go for any sports event too! Everything on the menu is delicious. The French fries and ribs were my favorite, falls right off the bone and flavored perfectly to perfection. Wait staff are super friendly, it's a great weekend spot or St. Patty's day end point. Everything on the menu is worth it to try, spent a week down here and came four times because it was that good! Sports bar venue feel with the atmosphere for fun and proper drinking company. Finnegan's Way is the best way to go! read more

My server was Maggie and she's the sh*t!!!!! You need to ask for her when you arrive to Ocean Drive! She will make your vacation LIT! Overall food is AMAZING and so is the service. Definitely worth the visit. read more

Great sport. Sports bar with all the games on, and your team by request. Beer was fresh , friendly staff.

Yum! I was actually scared to eat here based upon the reviews but it started pouring and we didn't have a choice! Inspired by a tip I got the shepherds pie and it was the perfect blend of meaty saltiness. The atmosphere inside is a little scary and perhaps the menu is too diverse but I enjoyed my dish. Like someone else said....It's an Irish Pub, if you order anything other than Shepherds Pie or battered fish than it's your own fault. However, my hubs had the blackened Mahi and he says it was delicious. Minus one star for dirty bar atmosphere and menu that strays too far from the theme. read more

Hard to imagine even starry-eyed South Beach tourists would be impressed by this place. After a lengthy walk in hot weather, we were looking for the first less than ritzy place that caught our eye, and Finnegan's was it.. Our less than enthused waitress gave us some menus that had been around the block more than a few times, and reminded us about the unimpressive "specials". We ordered a round of drinks and a couple appetizers - jalapeno poppers and crab-stuffed mushrooms. My bloody mary was ok - not the best or worst I've ever had. The jalapeno poppers were good - how can you go wrong when they come out of a box? The crab-stuffed mushrooms were totally ick. No redeeming qualities there. The atmosphere was about as blah as you can get on Ocean Drive. A few female employees started dancing halfheartedly - maybe in an attempt to drive in more customers? It didn't work. Basically, this place comes across as run down and not particularly fun. Usually I'm a huge fan of sports bars and Irish pubs, but not this joint - it doesn't have the energy or enthusiasm necessary to make it work. Too bad. While it's kinda nice sitting on Ocean Drive for a little people watching, I wouldn't hit up Finnegan's again. Overpriced for what it is and generally totally unimpressive. Maybe it was the crowd we were with (parents) or the time of day, but we just couldn't get into this place ... read more

Guiness was better than I had expected, better than the other location. This spot is on Ocean drive and filled with tourists, but if you want a Guniess this would be the place to go in the area. They have a nice outdoor seating area with lots of room and the staff here is generally responsive and well organized. I haven't eaten here, but I might try it at some point. Would give it 3.5 stars, but rounding it down to 3. read more

This is one of the many places on Ocean Drive that caters to tourists. I think it is the only "Irish" bar on the strip, but I'm not sure. I stopped by here on the way home from Miami for lunch. I should have known this was not a good idea, since this is in a place that doesn't have to rely on quality. They get enough people in and out to not care about the product they put out. I'm not saying that the area doesn't have good food, just that they don't need to. I sat at the bar, with my back to the beach. That is kinda lame in the first place. The bartender was talking to some customers so it was a few minutes before she spotted me. She gave me a menu and started to get me a Guinness. Their menu looks like a mix and match of various types of eateries. Steak, chicken wings, Oyster Rockefeller, Grilled Tropical Chicken.....but no Irish stew. I don't think they know if they want to be an Irish pub or a sports bar. When you aim for the middle that is usually where you land... The food I did get was out in seconds, and tasted that way. I guess they are used to people being drunk before they actually eat here. This is in a great location, so maybe stop by for drinks. If you are going to eat anything grab your check and leave. read more

I came here with a girlfriend for happy hour drinks on a Wednesday. The service was excruciatingly slow. When the waiter finally came over, he told us he hadn't realized we were his table. We ordered a strawberry daiquiri and a margarita. The daiquiri was passable (not good), the margarita was straight up terrible. I only had a couple of sips and then decided to go with the safer choice of a beer. We also had chips and salsa and the chips were stale. We waited for 20 minutes with empty drinks to ask for the check. Only reason why I didn't give it one star is because our waiter was nice (although very very slow) and given the location, the price was just fine. read more

What a surprise this joint was. After a lot of walking up and down to satisfy a hard to please friend we stumbled upon Finnegans Way where she begrudgingly agreed to stay. I have to say the food was daymn good and a great value. Had the ribeye $28 and twin lobster tails (8 Oz each) $42 bucks! Though we asked for the ribeye medium well (to accommodate Mrs. Finnekie) it came out medium, which suited me fine. The lobster tails were cooked perfectly and the meat was semi sweet. Moscow mule was on point too. We ended up closing the place down. Great to watch sports, people, good music options in the jukebox and a pool table. Will be returning to Finnegans on my next trip to SoBe. read more
