Irish 31 - 31 Burger - Sports Bars Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I love going to Irish 31 on nights my fiancé wants to watch the UFC fights. He watches the fights, I eat all the delicious appetizers and desserts I dream about the pot pie bites. Now that I'm talking about them I'll probably need to go tonight for a few orders! The are light, fluffy little pillows of phylo dough stuffed with rich and creamy chicken pot pie filling. I always get an order and refuse to share! The boxtys are my 2nd fave item on the menu. I've tried all of them but my favorite is the Shepard's pie one dipped in gravy. read more

We stopped here for lunch. Not crowded so we were able to seat ourselves right away. Table and seats needed to be cleaned off as there was dust and some food crumbs on both. My Wife ordered the Jax burger and fries. The burger was cooked just as requested and the toppings were fresh. I opted for the regular Rueben with fries. I asked for extra sauerkraut as the pictures I've seen posted the sandwich looked like it lacked sufficient kraut. I didn't know they would charge a buck to add a little more sauerkraut and wasn't informed by the waitress either. No big deal but it should have been mentioned. The sandwich was a good size and hot. I' not normally a fan of thick cut fries but when they come out hot and cooked just right as these were I cant complain. I would like to try the fish and chips on another visit as I'm told it is very good. read more

What's in a name? What's its meaning? Where'd that come from? That's what I wondered about Irish '31'... Could it be the old saying 'Thirty days hath September, April, June, and November; all the rest have THIRTY-ONE, except for February alone'? Nah, that totally doesn't make sense! Oh well, let's talk about the food. I ordered the 10 chicken wings, bone in. I like mine just plain old traditional Buffalo mild style. I was intrigued when our capable server Micaela brought my order out. The wings were stacked neatly, like chicken bricks in a chicken wing wall. I figured IF they took that kind of effort to plate the dish, it was likely the flavor was locked in solidly as well. And I was right! These wings were really good! Fab One at my side, she ordered the Classic Reuben, shaved corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and Emerald Isle dressing on rye bread. As I sat next to her at the adult beverage consuming area(the bar), I saw the look I always hope to see appear on her lovely face. Yes, I know that look....she was satisfied! Yay! Looking around the place gives a feeling of open-wide space. Plenty of lights and sights.....the sights of the city just beyond the grips of the a/c'd air. You can dine inside or on the pet-friendly shady patio. So, we found a lucky clover hidden in Hyde Park. We look forward to returning for more shenanigans, or Reubens, or......??? Oh yeah, back to that Irish 31 name? 31 was the jersey number of the restaurant founder, when he played football at University of South Florida! TOUCHDOWN! Tell them Beth & John sent ya! read more

The service and food was great. I got a cider and the turkey Ruben and it came out hot and fresh. Definitely looking forward going back and bringing my family/friend from home read more

I really love their fish and chips, but the service isn't great. I typically go to the Hyde Park location since I live in the village, and the servers are either rude, or just aloof. The last time I went, I sat their for fifteen minutes before even being acknowledged, to which I was just juggled between servers at shift change. They weren't busy, it was mid-afternoon on a weekday. If they would hire servers who actually want to do their job, I'd frequent this restaurant a lot more often. read more

Fun neighborhood bar in Hyde Park! Food was good for a bar. Typically have live music on the weekends. They also have a good happy hour!

Came on a Tuesday night and there was plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. To our surprise they have trivia night! Wished we could have played on our phone vs pen & paper. It was kind of hard to hear the announcer if you were seated inside. Drinks were very tasty. I got the pain reliever and loved the nutmeg on top! We started with the Mac bites and they have an interesting twist-drizzled sweet chili Thai sauce on top! Very tasty and served nice and hot. For my entrée I got the black and blue burger cooked medium... very much overcooked and the whiskey sauce that is on the burger made the bottom bun a little soggy. The bread didn't feel or taste like "grilled ciabatta." I was expecting a burst of flavor but the burger and homemade pub chips fell short. Don't think I will return. read more

Stopped by Irish 31 on a Friday night around 7pm. Great live music was playing and the patio was PACKED! We managed to grab a half booth inside... a little bit of a squeeze for three girls, but we made it work. The location of Irish 31 is great. The restaurant/bar is in Hyde Park, across the street from the parking garage and next door to my favorite movie theater. The decor inside is nice and modern with flat screen TVs and a touch of an Irish pub feel. Great drink selection. I ordered a dirty martini with Kettle One Vodka. I wish that our waitress mentioned that the XXX was the same drink, but with blue cheese stuffed olives. I love blue cheese stuffed olives and would have preferred that cocktail had I seen it on the menu. My sister got the Hyde Park Cosmo and loved it, although she said it didn't taste like a Cosmo. I tried it and it almost tasted like a whiskey sour, but it was good. Most of the bottled beers are domestic. There are a few interesting bottled beers such as Cigar City Jai Alai, Left Hand Brewery Milk Stout, and Yuengling. The draft selection is a little more impressive. Because we were overcrowded at our table we didn't order any food, but I will on my next visit. The menu looked good and offered typical Irish and bar food such as potato skins, burgers, and shepherds pie. The onion rings at the table next to us looked and smelled awesome. My one gripe was that our waitress ditched us for 25 minutes. We were trying to get our check and leave, but instead we were held hostage at our table. She did have a big party, but she could have had one of the other waitresses check on us. Finally I asked another waitress for our check so we could pay and leave. Overall, great experience and will be back. Will come back on the weekend to try the brunch menu. read more

Great food and atmosphere. The owner is a great guy...involved in the community. One of my favorite spots in South Tampa.

It is very strange to me that I have not yet reviewed Irish 31. Nevertheless, I will review it now! I like this spot a lot. It's a great break from some of the other stuffy Hyde Park Village establishments. It's got a laid back vibe, good happy hour, and pretty solid food. If the weather is not too hot, the patio is a great spot to sit and people watch and catch up over drinks. Irish 31 also shows sports and hosts trivia nights. As for the food, I've mostly had "bar" type food here - ya know wings and such. It is hard to go wrong with that type of menu, but everything I've had has been good. I've also gone a little wild and gotten a salad and that also met my expectations. All in all, a good chill spot in a great location! read more

Great food and great service. Perfect quaint place to watch a football game. Waitresses were super friendly and helpful

This is my go to for a drink before going to Hyde Park CineBistro. The food is solid for a chain-ish Irish Pub. The stew is actually really good but I mainly come here for a beer and a shot - they have a decent selection for those options and I've never had bad service. read more

Nice bar/restaurant with tasty food! Has inside and outside seating. Loved that they had live music

Nice, but very loud. Food was average. Nothing to write home about. Good for drinks and snacks.

Nice clean place, we walked here for a beer after watching a movie and it was awesome :)

my family and I came in last month for dinner. The service and food was amazing. Great atmosphere. Taylor was the manager on duty that day. She checked in with us and made sure we had a great experience! We will be back! read more

Always enjoy my time at Irish 31. I live close by and work even closer so I see these smiling faces often ! One of my favorite things to do is sit at the bar on a Friday night and have a nice , cold beer from Susan . Nothing better than a great bartender and attentive staff . Love that they are dog friendly on the patio and have a fun running group that meets on wednesdays . Great people , great food , great time ! read more

Great happy hour! Drinks are delicious great environment to catch up with friends. Outdoor bar if you want to enjoy the nice weather. Close to free parking in Hyde park! read more

As usual; the staff makes the visit. Molly tonight made me laugh and smile. Truly a huge asset to Irish.

The wings were perfect. On the whole another great experience. read more

Irish 31 - Savanah - Sports Bars Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Horrible service every time we go and were even told to get the F out in front of my 10 year old and large group of people by the manager! She told us to lower our voices in a loud setting, which made zero sense. I laughed thinking it was a joke and told her that wouldn't happen...this isn't a library! We were there for music bingo and it was extremely loud...add many people in our group and others around and you can see how people will get loud, but are you kidding me? So disrespectful and rude (we've had other issues with her in the past, it's shocking I even went back)! Let's hope upper management reads this and does something about her and soon..guessing not since the owner won't even call me. Yes, I tried that route first. read more

Taylor was a fantastic bartender! She's answered all my questions and made several great recommendations. My mimosa was never empty! She has a great personality and very attentive. 10/10 best bartender at Irish!!! read more

Great Irish bar in the hype park village area. Traditional Irish food with friendly service.

Finally made it back to Irish 31 in Tampa, and to my delight, experienced the same outstanding quality of service and drinks! Taylor S. (not to be confused with all the imitation Taylors) has the best recommendations for food and adult beverages of anyone south of the Mason-Dixon Line. It's almost like she can read my mind or has a sixth sense regarding alcohol preferences. Highly recommend! read more

Micaela, not just a star she's a superstar!!!!!!. Her Fun and funky personality brings a exciting time to an already great establishment with so many great employees. It's always really nice when Micaela remembers me and all my friends names when we arrive and brings a personal element to the restaurant. She's a great bartender and In addition to remembering all of us she remembers all of our favorite beverages. She brings a personal element to the restaurant which you hardly see in this day and age of dining out. Make sure when you visit ask for her because every recommendation she gives is simply delicious. Her knowledge of the menu makes this place a wonderful Irish establishment to visit time and time again!!!!! Don't forget about their Sunday brunch with a set up bar for Bloody Marys so you can kick back and enjoy her company and watch your favorite sports teams on all their TV's. read more

I always enjoy Irish 31, service is good, location is a little cramped but it's Hyde Park, what are you going to do.

I am huge fan of Irish 31 for a multitude of reasons: 1.) It is less than a mile away from my home. 2.) They have a great variety of delicious menu items 3.) Consistently great service 4.) Excellent live music 5.) Lots of TVs to watch sporting events 6.) It is right next door to Cinebistro 7.) It is far away enough from the Soho douchebaggery 8.) Great drink specials! 9.) Did I mention it was less than a mile from where I live? Irish 31 is definitely one of my favorite bars! It is a great bar to pop in and out of if you need a quick meal/snack/drink. I was here a couple weekends ago to meet a friend from out of town for an impromptu drink. Ok, I kid...he wasn't really from out of town, he was from Land O' Lakes haha. JUST KIDDING Pasco County peeps! We sat at the bar and our bartender's name was Jackie. I immediately fell in love with her because she was a Miami Heat fan. She was very friendly, always smiling, and a pleasure to talk to. I ordered the Soup and Salad Combo and started with the Mulligan Stew. For those that don't me, I am a soup whore. I will eat soup on the hottest of days! I love this stew because it is very hearty and and filling. The soup had most of the ingredients from your standard vegetable soup, but it also contained lots of ground beef! So good! You only have two salad choices for the combo: a mixed baby green salad or a Caesar salad. I chose the Caesar Salad. It was your typical Caesar - Romaine lettuce, Parmesan Cheese, Croutons, tossed with their Caesar dressing. The lettuce was crisp and portion size was just perfect. ----- I met a date here last night prior to seeing a movie at Cinebistro. The place was somewhat crowded, but we were able to grab a table in the corner. Jill, our server, was a joy to deal with and very attentive. It was National Martini Day so it was a moral imperative I celebrate! I started with a refreshing Tangerine Martini and finished with a Raspberry Martini. I ordered the Andrew Salad which was made of Romaine lettuce, Black Forest Ham, Shredded White Cheddar cheese, egg, croutons, and fresh Avocado tossed with Irish 31's homemade Emerald Island dressing. It was delicious, especially with the combination of the ham and avocado. The portion was huge! I wasn't able to finish it, and I was disappointed I was not able to take the rest of it home for leftovers. My date ordered the Gyro Flatbread - grilled pita flatbread topped with Tzatziki Sauce, shredded Romaine lettuce, diced tomatoes and red onions. I was disappointed because I thought the flatbread was cooked with actual "gyro meat" and apparently didn't read the menu too well. In addition, I am not a fan of tomatoes or onions. Most of the other appetizers I have enjoyed here are quite tasty, with the exception of the Potato Pub Skins. I like my Potato Skins crispy, and the last two times I have ordered them, they unfortunately were not crispy enough. One of the original appetizers they serve are their boxtys. Boxtys are mashed potatoes rolled up, breaded, lightly fried, and then baked. The best part of the boxtys is the filling which is rolled into the Boxty! There are several choices for your filling: Shepard's Pie, Corned Beef and Cabbage, Velveeta Cheese, bacon and chives, and also, one with Velveeta Cheese and ham. I have had all the boxtys with the exception of the Corned Beef and Cabbage. I recommend definitely trying them if you want something different. After all, who doesn't want a ball of carbs rolled, fried, with a little "something something" in the middle! Would I come back? Of course...not even a question! I am here at least two times a month or more. They are also dog friendly here and the patio is great to sit and listen to the musicians that normal perform here on most nights. read more

Came to this bar for a painting wine chiller event. They offer these types of events monthly. A great pub atmosphere with live music. The staff was busy as the place was packed but they were on the ball. With the event, we got to enjoy a bottle of wine, I chose Cabernet and it warmed me up nicely. Got an order of boxty, which I'd never tried before. It was 3 huge balls of fried and breaded mashed taters that came with guac, salsa and horseradish dip. I powered through 1 1/2 so better to share. Enjoyable but very carb loaded and filling! Lots of good looking grub on the menu and looking forward to next months painting adventure. read more

Solid lunch. Good server. Had the fried shrimp po' boy and the shrimp was done perfectly. Sandwich could use some pepper tho, maybe even diced jalapeño - something to add just a bit is heat to the sandwich. Other than that, fairly reasonable price points and a good overall environment. read more

As far as finding a place to watch a game or grab a bite to eat, you can't go wrong with Irish 31. Was invited here by a friend to watch the Seminoles get utterly embarrassed by Oregon. It was depressing. Thankfully, Irish 31 itself was fun. I think it's one of those official Seminole watching party places, so if you live in south Tampa and are an FSU alum, this is a good place to come for game day. Their inside is kind of small - long bar with a number of tables and a huge projection-like TV (it may not have been projection; it was just that big). We sat outside on their patio, and it was one of the better patios. Besides having enough TVs that you can watch a game regardless of where you are sitting, the patio is covered, with ceiling fans, and is also shaded by a large tree just outside the patio. What this means is that even during the summer, this might be a good place to hang out outside. The menu is awesome. There's something like 1,000 things I want to try. In the end, I got a BBQ chicken flatbread, and while it wasn't the best flatbread ever, it was darn good. I intended to get wings, too, during the second half, but you know, I can't remember if I did or not. I probably did - it was food, I was hungry. If I did, then I know I enjoyed them because I don't have a single bad memory of the food there (I tried a couple of other people's dishes, too). If I didn't, then I think they were good because someone else at the table devoured his wings. There's so much goodness on this menu, that for a reasonably priced, fun place to eat, this should be one of your go-to joints and definitely an option before going to a Fridays or Chilis or Applebees. You'll be happy you did. read more

This place is great. I really appreciate the outdoor section. If you bring your dog they bring a bowl of water right away. The menu has variety you can seriously eat healthy here if you want. Chopped 31 with dressing on the side. Their boneless wings are packed with flavor not packed with breading! You don't care about healthy they have plenty of delicious choices. Service was spot on. read more

The interior of Irish 31 is very comfortable. From the huge patio that has a fantastic cover band belting tunes to the massive amount of televisions, to the cool Edison light bulbs hanging from the rustic fixtures. I started my meal with a Painkiller. A Painkiller is a tropical mixed drink made with Captain Morgan Parrot Bay Coconut, Captain Morgan Parrot Bay Pineapple, cream of coconut and orange juice. It is topped with a dash of nutmeg. The Painkiller was delicious. The pineapple was very evident, but the orange juice and the coconut flavors were light. I do wish there was a bit more coconut. However, I loved the addition of nutmeg. It helped to cut the sweetness. For our appetizer, we ordered a Loaded Boxty. The Loaded Boxty is a Velveeta cheese, bacon and chive stuffed mashed potato ball that is hand rolled in a special breading and deep fried. They are then baked and served with sour cream.I have never seen anything like this on a menu before. The Loaded Boxty's are fantastic. The outside breading forms a crunchy shell. The inside is soft and packed with flavor. I was a little concerned about the Velvetta (I prefer real cheese), but the Loaded Boxty is more about the mashed potato and the bacon. I wouldn't even have known it was Velvetta if the menu hadn't told me. Boxty's also come in Legendary (plain), Shepherd's Pie, Corn Beef with Cabbage and Ham n' Cheese. For my entree I decided to try the Shrimp and Grits. The Shrimp and Grits at Irish 31 is a combination of tiger shrimp, Black Forest ham, bacon, diced tomatoes and red onions folded into cheesy grits. It is the type of meal that you will be dreaming about for awhile. The grits were cheesy and flavorful enough to eat on their own. However, once you have a taste of this incredible sauce (which I could not discern the ham or bacon in), you won't want to eat them by themselves. The shrimp were large, fresh and well seasoned. The entire dish had a slight heat to it that blissfully tingled the back of my throat. Perfection. I will have a hard time ordering something else on my next visit. My Husband went with the Fish and Chips. I initially thought that his fish was overcooked. It looked a lot darker than Fish and Chips that we have had at other restaurants. After tasting a bite, I was amazed. This was some of the best Fish and Chips I have ever tried....maybe even the best. The batter was so incredibly flavorful that I wanted to steal my Husbands meal. I used restraint and settled for two bites. I spoke with the chef and learned that they use a batter that is a combination of Bud Light and Guinness. Wait, what? Bud Light? I am normally very anti-Bud, but it really works well. We were beyond stuffed at this point. However, we wanted to try the bread pudding too. The Irish 31 Bread Pudding comes out warm and crispy. It is sprinkled with cinnamon and topped with Baileys Creme Anglaise. It is heavenly. We planned on taking a bite or two each and taking the rest home. Yeah, that didn't happen. We cleared that bowl. A perfect ending to a delicious meal. I also have to take a second to mention the fantastic service. Irish 31 was aware that I would be reviewing the meal, but we sat at the bar surrounded by patrons. We could hear and see that everyone was receiving the same fantastic service. My Husband's words as we left summed up our experience, "I have a new favorite Tampa restaurant". If you are in the Tampa area, make sure you stop in and try Irish 31. You won't regret it. read more

We stopped in for a quick drink and a bite, and Savannah severed us at the bar. Not only was she amazingly friendly, she was also composed (even though they were extremely busy). She also kept a smile on her face the entire time, as well as displayed the charisma that every server/bar tender should! I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a fun yet hospitable experience! read more

Been waiting for this place to open, and now am glad they're here. Hyde Park Village needs a rebirth, and this looks like a great start. There's an indoor and outdoor area, but plenty of TV's inside to watch multiple games at once. Has a bit of an old Irish pub feel, but also has plenty of great food options, which is normally the bane of similar places. I was nursing a long night of drinking the night before and had a long day of tailgating ahead of me, so I didn't get to test the booze, but it is a full bar so I look forward to eventually testing the talents of the bar staff. Also heard they're doing a Sunday Brunch, but my raging college football hangover prevented me from trying that out today. They're still somewhat working out the kinks on service, but I had a delicious bleu cheese burger, and also got to try some really good wings. They were ordered mild, but still had a bit of spice to them, so be aware if you go for hot or more. Full disclosure: the owner is Jay Mize, who's a former USF Football player, and thus a fine and wonderful human being for that alone. But he's got a winner of a restaurant in a great location, and can hopefully start to begin a bit of a renaissance in the area. read more

I was at Westchase today and ordered for take out a Rueben sandwich which was ok and one: "IRISH 31 ICE CREAM SUNDAE Two heaping scoops of creamy vanilla ice cream covered in chocolate syrup, candied pecans and whipped cream with a cherry on top." This had only one scoop of ice cream no pecans, hardly any whipped cream and syrup and no cherry. I definetly don't recommend it!! read more

This is a wonderful place to watch sports - they have numerous televisions on every wall, plus a giant screen at one end that they roll down for the larger sporting events. If you go, just know that your ability to hear the game will be in direct competition with the noise of various patrons who are there solely to drink. When it come to food, I would say to stick with the basics like burgers and fries, their Mulligan Stew, or even fish and chips. My first visit I had the stew, and it was good. Second visit I had the guacamole, and it was essentially tasteless. During my most recent visit, both my salmon and squash/zucchini vegetables were way overcooked. Dessert too was marginal, I tried the molten lava cake, and it tasted microwaved and very dry, even with the chocolate syrup they added to try and jazz it up. I actually shared it - that tells you how unimpressed with it I was. Still - I love that there is both inside and outside seating available, and it would be a great spot to bring your dog and sit on their patio - I've been told they even have a dog menu. Plus, it was so convenient to be able to make reservations for a table to watch the hockey game. Our server Jen was friendly and efficient. read more
