You think of it, they have it. Pappy? Yup, Taylor? Yup. Elmer? Yup. The prices are fair, they do have a few taps on hand as well for some beer. During events there is usually a food truck out front so eats are available. I think the plan is to be open more often once all the dust settles so looking forward to that!

You want to dress accordingly for the whole experience. It's been very crowded on both our visits, we've managed to find comfortable accommodations each time. The bourbon AND whiskey list is impressive as is the cigar selection. The perfect scene to try something new. The service is also hats off. The wonderful staff round out this surreal venue. Another important aspect is the filtration system. They boast an excellent air quality. It's truly a dignified spot for a small meeting, conversation or to just sit and unwind. 12/25

The place wasn't busy, but two servers and the bartender were shooting the breeze at the end of the bar with nobody taking orders or making drinks. When my drink finally arrived, it seemed that the bartender had not expressed the oil from the lemon peel on top of the martini. However, the server was friendly when she finally showed up. And, after the initial long delay she was proactive asking if I wanted another drink. Also, the other server checked on me several times.

The drinks were absolutely on point and I walked away with a much better appreciation for whiskey than I came in with. The prices were surprisingly decent for what you're getting, which made the whole experience feel even better. But what really got me was the ambience. Inside and out, this place just hits different. There's a vibe here that's hard to put into words -- it feels elevated but not pretentious. They had a DJ going and it perfectly complemented the energy without being overwhelming. It just all came together in the best way. Strongly recommend. Whether you're a whiskey veteran or just starting to explore it like me, this is a must-visit in Fort Lauderdale. Do yourself a favor and go.

The ambiance is not even close to the sultry sexy vibe at their Sunrise location, although the open courtyard here with the coconut trees make up for the shortcomings. The gender neutral bathroom had cool brick wrap around walls and withered black tile flooring but needed some TLC, obviously no bathroom checklists enforced here.

This is a great place for a group night out and I can't wait to come back with my friends! The ambiance is like you're in a different time, very different and I loved every minute of it!

We reserved the second floor lounge area, which was amazing. The drinks were great and the food was good. Obviously this is not a sitdown restaurant so don't come expecting a full-blown steak.

The best part is that you come in through a red phone booth. Once you make a reservation, they give you a phone number to dial in and then it opens! A total experience.

There are great places you go to for a drink. There are…read moregreat places you go to for food. And then there are places that create such a perfect environment that every night feels memorable. John Martin's Irish Pub is one of those rare places. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the history and authenticity. This is not a place pretending to be an Irish pub. The atmosphere is real, warm, and inviting. The craftsmanship of the bar, the energy of the room, and the welcoming staff create a vibe that is incredibly hard to replicate. The whiskey selection is absolutely phenomenal. If you appreciate Irish whiskey, this place is paradise. Their collection is one of the most impressive in South Florida and the bartenders truly know their craft. The food deserves just as much praise. The shepherd's pie is honestly something to die for. Rich, comforting, and perfectly balanced. The fish and chips are fantastic, the classic pub dishes are executed beautifully, and every plate feels authentic. Then there is the live music. The atmosphere during live performances is electric in the best way possible. It is lively, fun, and full of energy while still being a place where you can enjoy conversation and great company. But what truly transforms a great place into a perfect place is leadership. That is where Anna comes in. I first met Anna years ago when she was managing at another venue, and I witnessed firsthand how she handles people and situations. Her professionalism, calm leadership, and ability to create a welcoming environment stood out immediately. When I discovered she had become the General Manager here, I was excited to visit again. The transformation since she took over has been remarkable. The energy of the staff, the attention to detail, and the overall experience reflect the leadership behind the scenes. Anna is the heart of this place. As someone who manages a large company and hundreds of employees, I can say with complete honesty that she is one of the most impressive leaders I have ever seen in action. She leads by example, treats people with respect, and creates an environment where both staff and guests feel valued. There is something almost unbelievable about her positivity. Every time I see her she is smiling, welcoming guests, and making sure everyone is having a great experience. It is contagious. You leave feeling happier than when you arrived. That kind of leadership is rare. John Martin's is already an incredible establishment with amazing food, incredible whiskey, and one of the best atmospheres in Coral Gables. But with someone like Anna leading the team, the place continues to get better and better. Where she goes, I will always follow. Because every time I bring friends, family, or dates here, the night ends up being unforgettable. Miami is full of places to go out. Very few reach this level. John Martin's absolutely does.

I expected a typical Irish Pub but was way off as over the holidays (and perhaps always), this place is all kinds of colorful and fun with holiday lights, loud music and a huge Miami crowd! We were able to get drinks at the bar and find a place to sit for a few (although I don't think the server was happy we sat there and maybe we were not supposed to). Either way, it was a fun place to hang for a drink, people watch and enjoy the Miami scene!

The drinks were very well made, and I especially enjoyed the Snake Oil Salesman cocktail, it tasted like a delicious spicy margarita. The happy hour food specials were excellent.

Service was prompt, friendly, and attentive, which made the experience even better. Overall, a fantastic happy hour spot with great drinks, tasty food, and a lively vibe. I'll definitely be back!

Hint of Smoke and juicy!!! Deviled eggs w Caviar and Black Truffle are not what they are cracked up to be. Just a basic deviled egg taste. Couldnt taste and truffle or caviar. Good but Not worth the price point. Grilled Cheese Oysters were delicious!!! Came out piping hot and when eaten, the are between raw and cooked. So tender and sweet w a parm cheese crust!!! Definitely would buy again! Gumbo- was waaaaay over peppered. The flavor was good w perfectly cooked shrimp but the black pepper was overwhelming the dish. Past experiences, the Gumbo has been one of the best, but not tonight. Now the main reason to visit Voodoo. The beignets- 5 per serving, comes out piping hot covered in powder sugar!!! So light and puffy and each bite melts in your mouth. If I didnt know, I would think there was some type of creme inside! These are NOT like the donut style most places serve. These are pillows of goodness that melts in your mouth. Tip: You must eat them hot!!! If you want very good Cajun food, try Voodoo Bayou!

One of my bucketlists while visiting Miami was to hit up a Cigar lounge…read more Being in vacation mode, I didn't think to pack any fancy clothes. When I yelped Cigar Lounges, I found a handful of places that looked a bit snooty. I called ahead and found that City Cigar didn't have a dress code and welcomed anyone in that "wore clothes". That made me laugh and I knew this was the place I wanted to hang out at. Our group of 3 was greeted by Dede. She was so chill, down to earth, and honestly a superwoman. She held down the fort and ran the entire cigar lounge by herself. The lounge has a huge collection of cigars and and massive bar. She was lighting cigars, mixing drinks, and chatting with all the customers. Definitely some of the best customer service we received in a long, long time. Dede made a couple recommendations on cigars and was able to accurately match each person with a cigar they would like. She was also able to pair our cigars perfectly with a drink. I also loved how Dede knew we were here to have a good time and automatically made our drinks a double. Pro Tip: Dede makes one of the best old fashions I've ever had. Make sure you order one from her. The lounge itself was spacious, with plenty of TVs around the store. The seats were comfortable and arranged in groups of 4. There was also seating outside, which pretty much all the other customers took advantage of because of the nice weather. Our group smoked 6 cigars total, with 6 whiskey drinks. Total came out to be about $300, which is pretty good compared to other cigar places I've been too.

The French know good food and are not easy to impress, so either I have very generous friends... or the food here truly delivered. We ordered the burgers (excellent) and the fried chicken, which was cooked perfectly--crispy on the outside and juicy inside. The truffle fries were a standout; my friends said they may never go back to regular fries again. Even more impressive: they don't like Brussels sprouts, but that all changed after trying Le Chick's. Consider them officially converted. Service was great overall. Our waitress was extremely attentive and made us feel genuinely welcome. She was originally from Spain, and if I remember correctly, her name was Natalia--she did a wonderful job. All around, great food, solid service, and a fun Wynwood vibe. I'd definitely come back.
