Ahhh, the Briny - the magical place where Pompano Beach meets the Atlantic Ocean. Many of nights have been had here listening to local live music and dancing into the whee hours of the morning with some libations. However, on this particular day we chose subsistence for our appetites. Now, we usually go on Prime Rib Monday- when we are going there to eat. We prefer it over Bonefish Mac's Prime Rib Monday (but they are both good). Briny also has specials on Tuesday and Wednesday (one day is Mahi tacos). But, le sigh, this was a Thursday. The place was pretty packed at 5:30 pm.m. with only a couple of open tables. There were a few families and some elderly people and then your typical "salt of the earth" people. Just another day at Briny. The local staff were all present and greeted us with smiles and "Hey- how have you been(s)? They are all very friendly and work well together and know the locals. My son chose the nachos - he is not a big sea food person. They are some very good nachos and I recommend get extra sour cream next time. My husband went with "my" usual order of fish fingers (mahi in a panko breading) and fries. Can never go wrong with this order- solid choice. I went with something I have never had here before- the Mahi Reuben (blackened). I got tator tots with it. Mixing things up! It was very tasty and unique. Something a little different. Then, the guy behind us with his 3 kids (2 in a wagon- haha) and his wife stood up, looked at my husband and said- "Get the fish and chips! It's amazing!" Well, my husband had been pining over that decision because that is his usual order but he was trying something different. However, this was the Briny Pompano family man whispering to go with old faithful. It was fate! It was meant to be. The atmosphere aligned at the corner of Atlantic and A1A. Oh waitress!!! Another order! The fish and chips were amazing. Just like the fatherly Briny whisperer said - Cod in a beer batter. Light and flakey and add that malt vinegar with tarter sauce...yummo!! (IMO- Briny tarter sauce is better than Flannigans). And, don't forget to add the malt vinegar to the ketchup for the fried and extra pepper! A great feast was had by all and we all went home happy and with leftovers. Get down to the Briny for where the magic meets the sea. Get some dinner, listen to live music, get up and dance and breathe that salty air. Live a little and meet some new people! Good times had by all. read more

Let me start with WOW! I love this place. We saw it as we were driving up and down A1A looking for a place to eat. They have convenient free parking. We sat at the bar and I had Shepherd's Pie and my wife had a grilled chicken sandwich. She said her sandwich was very good. My Shepherd's pie as also tasty. Just be aware that the Shepherd's Pie was covered in brown gravy. That was not what I expected but it was good. The bar tender - Michael - was very attentive, and he told us that most of the staff has been there for years. I can understand that because of the feeling of family and coorporation they all had. The also had live music when we were there which was a nice plus. read more

Always a fun place. Live music everyday. Right by the beach. We went in and were able to get some seats at the bar when others left. It was packed but the service was still great and drinks were good! Will be going back to eat! read more

A great Irish dive (dive in a great way)! Decorated with many artifacts, especially maritime paraphernalia. A nice $10 lunch special during the week. A friendly bartender took care of us for lunch 2 days in a row on our vacation. My burger was delicious. Fish tacos and mahi sandwich were also very good. About 18 beers on tap and live music rounded out the perfect dive experience. read more

Briny Irish Pub - Decent tap selection - American Near Me - Pompano Beach, Florida

Cider on tap, what a find! friendly service is offered, aswell as a very nice rustic Irish themed atmosphere. We enjoyed our time here. We did not sample their food, but we did peruse their menu. The food fayre looked good and inviting. We noticed they do a lunch special for 10 dollars for fish and chips (one piece of fish). Other times after lunch the fish and chips offers two pieces apparently. Located right on the sea front. If you sit where we did you can see the sea! Great location. We will definitely be back, and this will be a stop off now for me, EVERY time I am in Pompano beach. read more

What a fun bar and grill in Pompano Beach! Definitely the place to be on Music Under The Stars night. Bartenders are rock stars and get your food and drink to you quickly. Dance floor and bathroom are in the back and take a little work to get to on busy nights. read more

Always a favorite on the Pompano Beach shore area. I loved riding my electric scooter over and grabbing a drink or lunch. Service was good and I love the down to earth ambiance. Tourisy area, but don't let that bother you, it's a good place to hang out. read more

When we visit it is our pleasure to eat and drink here multiple times before going back home. The fact they have live music is a plus but the service and food speaks for itself read more

Briny Irish Pub - American Near Me - Pompano Beach, Florida

Brinys is a staple if you're visiting Pompano Beach, Florida. Their drinks are awesome when you wanna go to a dive bar. They have music at night, which is amazing. It's always a fun vibe in there. I wish it was a little bit more cleaner, but a dive bar as a dive bar. What can you do. Bartenders are also very sweet and the service is great. read more

Holy crap this place gets BUSY on a Friday night. We got lucky and found seats at the bar, but only because our timing was impeccable. There were four bartenders taking care of hundreds of people in a cramped space. Despite that, they kept the drinks coming and people happy. The bartenders were focused on taking care of people, versus socializing, and some people misinterpreted that as being rude or unfriendly. I was not put off by it. We'll definitely pop back in next time we are in the area. read more

This was my first visit to Briny Irish Pub, and it definitely won't be my last. A group of us went for dinner a few days ago, and the dining room was packed, so we chose to sit outside instead. It turned out to be the perfect choice. Even though it was a warm evening, the ocean breeze made it comfortable. I ordered the grilled chicken breast platter, and it did not disappoint. The chicken was juicy, perfectly grilled, and seasoned just right. The vegetables were also delicious, with a nice garlic flavor that complemented the chicken. The highlight were the chicken wings. When they first arrived, I asked our server, Julianna (or Giuliana - I apologize if I'm spelling her name incorrectly), if they could be made a little crispier. She couldn't have been nicer about it and happily took them back to the kitchen. When they came back out, they were exactly what we were hoping for - crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and full of flavor. They were so good that we wished we had ordered another batch. Great food, friendly and attentive service, and a relaxed atmosphere made for a wonderful dining experience. Briny Irish Pub is definitely worth checking out, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit. read more

Briny Irish Pub is the quintessential nautical themed locals dive bar. It has the dead fish plaques, a ship's steering wheel, the glass buoys, ropes, nets, and the portrait of some scurvy old sea dog in the wall. It's a masterpiece! But wait, there's more! They have a great selection of food and drink. I ordered a pint of Harp, and a chicken burger. My bartender served my beer right away and its cold, clear, goodness was the perfect thirst quencher for a hot muggy afternoon. My burger arrived shortly afterward and it was a delight. It had a large piece of moist, tender, chicken breast that was smothered in cheddar cheese. It was sandwiched between a fluffy bun and some fresh crisp produce. The fries were hot, crispy, had a nice color to them. They gave me a generous serving of ranch for dipping. Yum! For entertainment, a construction worker with a thick east coast accent, on the other side of the bar went on an angry rant about electric cars. It almost sounded like he was ready to run them all off the road with his pickup. It was classic. They couldn't have written a better script for that scene in Hollywood. After stuffing my face, and enjoying some local color, I slipped off my barstool and waddled back to my car. As I drove off, I considered myself lucky to have stumbled across this South Florida gem. I hope it never changes. read more

You know I honestly was trying to think of a reason to give Briny fewer than five stars and I just simply could not come up with that one. This is a classic hole in the wall bar. It crowded and it's hard to find a chair but when you do find one it is oh so worth it. We recommend this place to everyone . OK the food here is gourmet and you would never expect it from the interior and exterior of the location read more

Lori Ann was a wonderful waitress who was attentive, friendly and accommodating. We were a party of 6 and after waiting a short time was able to move two tables together for our dinner. Most of us had the Prime Rib dinner and to my surprise Lori Ann was able to give us two end cuts which was delicious. Lori Ann was spot on in seeing to our needs making our dining experience very enjoyable. We will be returning. Steve Giacose read more

If you like to meet all kinds of people, young / old who are friendly and unpretentious this is the place for you ! The food is excellent and good portions. Britney has live music every day / night and a juke box when there isn't . There are sports on all the plentiful TVs throughout . It can get loud in there, due to the fact it's usually crowded, but for reasons previously stated in review. If you like meeting people alike and different than you this is place to be ! - Fun, Friendly , cold beer and good food - can one ask for more ? read more

My boyfriend and I had a great time when we ate there at 3 o'clock in the afternoon ordering a wonderful meal and drinks with great service. However, my boyfriend left his phone on the bar and so we went back to try to find it around 630 pm. Two weeks later a ticket from a company called professional property management sent us a bill for $90 for staying a total of 30 minutes. What was most appalling was when I called the city of Pompano Beach, I found out that Brinys actually employs this company to monitor its parking lot and the city tried to shut this private parking ticket down. My advice is to choose parking from only city parking lots, even if you choose to go to Briny's. The management at Briny's were very responsive and helped us out with the ticket. I have respect for businesses that have been here since long since my father started his business in South Florida in 1958. Thank you for helping us out with the private parking ticket and keep up with serving good food and good drink. read more

We came by for some drinks on Friday. It was a big group of us the place was packed and they had live music. Jennyfer was the bartender and OMG she can definitely take care of a crowd. Loved her so we came back a second time. read more

Great music, even better people watching, dance floor helps as well, let them know up front you parked in their lot,

Now THIS is my kind of place! It's a Dive bar with a capital D with some friendly bartenders and a clientele that I bet has been coming here for years. Briny's was our last stop of the night, but it might have been my favorite. The decor is over the top nautical and the drinks are about half of what you might pay in other parts of Pompano and definitely cheaper than Fort Lauderdale prices. And on the night I was there, there was even live music! We grabbed the only two available seats at the bar and immediately people started talking to us, just as if we had been coming there for years. I am going to have to come back to taste the food as the burger next to me looked pretty darn good (and they had tater tots which are always my favorite! ) This is pretty much old school Florida all the way around and worth a stop in! I know I'll be back! read more

Great little find on our vacation to Pompano Beach! The bartender Mike was so awesome, he really was so welcoming and kept our drinks flowing! The food looked mouth watering, especially the shepherds pie and the fish filet! read more

Alicia served up some amazing food and beers with a wonderful and warm welcome. The food was super tasty and worth taking home for later on. While it looks small on the outside, it is a prime location for beach goers and walkers, with both outdoor and cool air conditioned bar top or intimate table dining. read more

We love Briny's - been going for a long time. Fun, easy, laid back. Good people watching. Fantastic shepherds pie! Good drinks. Live music is entertaining- sometimes better than others but whatever. Tonight we had a new server - she was great- very personable and friendly. Julianna was her name. Hopefully she will be there for awhile. Always good, a go-to for sure. read more

Great food and atmosphere. Very busy but not overcrowded. Plenty of selections of tap beers.

Cool spot! Irish food and beer and good people. Why not? Place gets busy as heck for a reason.

Two of the servers were perfect! A server named Sunday was soooo rude!! She would look at us and not serve us but if someone came next to us she was right there... We spend 3 months a year in pompano and are in here all the time. Her rudeness was inexcusable and find a different job!!!!! read more

What went well? Everything. Came in last night, and Briny's has an incredible vibe. Returned today, because it's just steps from the beach. Had the Fish and Chips lunch, with Philly Steak Egg rolls. Delish. read more

There's nothing better than a good burger and fries along the cold beer on the sunny day by the beach. That's what Bryony Irish pub offers every day. Although I pass it every morning for the last three years, I've never been there. I'm sure it's a different experience at night, but I visited on a warm sunny day and sat outside. My buddy ordered a bacon burger with fries and I ordered a garden salad with a bowl of chili. My salad was pretty simple and the waitress forgot the salad dressing for most of the time we were having lunch. My buddies burger was good. According to his report,he enjoyed it. this is on Atlantic on the corner of Ocean by the entrance to the beach. On Atlantic Avenue. There are many interesting little restaurants and if burgers are not your style just walk down the street and pick a restaurant you prefer. But if you want a burger and a beer this isn't a bad place to go and enjoy a nice a nice meal outside . read more

I love Briney too ... except for the parking issue. I went there 11/14/24 and registered my plate (you're supposed to get 4 hours free parking) and had their awesome $10 lunch special with some friends, then left. Today I got a notice from "Professional Parking Management" demanding $125 for parking there for 1 hour and 4 minutes. They say it can be "disputed", but it's a pain nevertheless! Don't park in the "free" lot there! read more
