Great food. My wife had the Monday prime rib $19.99, I the fish and chips. Great value and great taste w/ huge portions. She had a rum punch and I had rum and Coke both were well balanced. Nice crowd, but we got a table instantly. The place is delightfully cluttered with nautical decor hung with humor. The guy singing and playing guitar was great. read more

The bartender called my sister a pussy after declining shots from a group of guys at the bar. This was after they drew derogatory napkin "artwork" of us that they sent our way, and we made it clear that it was not appreciated. As much as we loved the atmosphere, the fact that we were harassed, and that behavior was encouraged by the staff, had us heading to the door after 45 minutes. Do what you will with this complaint, but overall just disappointed. read more

Has about everything one could want out of a dive bar here! To be honest, we came here after brunch, so didn't try the food. Grabbed an open spot at the bar & the bartenders were super friendly & attentive. Love the location & the decorations inside are awesome. read more

Great spot and the food is DELICIOUS! I love the fish sandwich and fried so crispy and lightly breaded.

We come here a couple times a year from Fort Myers Beach and just absolutely love this Pub. Today enjoyed cocktails, beer and had their burger with tots. Lori Ann was amazing and super friendly. Enjoyed our afternoon here as always. Prices, food and service A++ read more

Been coming here for years and this place is a staple of the Pompano skyline!! The energy is always great with live music. The food is OK, but it is surprisingly OK. You go in, it does smell like beer has been caked on the floor for decades, but then you have a bite of some food and you will be like OK, I can do this! Always a good time here! read more

This is a GREAT bar!! Lots of regulars combined with a great mix of tourists and beach goers. Families, singles, young and older this place parties, and has been here since 1945!! Cheers meets rock n roll!! They offer live music every night, a great menu, and a full service bar with very talented bar tenders, and an attentive wait staff. The menu offers a little of everything and the food is fresh and delicious!! I had the Shepards Pie and it was amazing! The prices are reasonable and a good time won't break your budget. Big screen TVs are everywhere with sports going all day and night. They also have some tables set up outside too. I'd call this a bucket list bar. You have to stop by at least once and you won't regret going. If you don't like this bar you just don't like bars! Have fun!!! read more

Live music, great ambiance. Place is pretty small but we enjoyed it. Bartenders are fast.

I had an amazing experience here. I've never met a more attentive bartender than Jen. I've been coming here for years and I always look forward to seeing her at the bar. We all come here not only for the great food but for the great staff, it's a home away from home and a pompano gem. read more

Great little Irish bar in town that brings In the locals. Good prices and a good crowd define this place. Genuinely a good time at this establishment. I would recommend if you are in the area and want to soak up a somewhat dive bar atmosphere with some great people. read more

Excellent food, excellent service,excellent price. Don't judge a book by its cover. Fish and chips were top notch! read more

It smells like dirty bar the second you walk in. Totally gross, wouldn't order from the kitchen, woman's bathroom has no soap, sanitizer stations in the bar were empty. When I asked for soap I got a very blasé response. The women serving you do not wash their hands apparently. We went across the street and washed our hands with the port-a-potty wash station, see pic. read more

Can't say anything about the food but as a local, I go where my favorite bartenders are and Jen is the best in town. If you're looking for a old Florida vibe with live music, this is your place. read more

We stopped in for a couple of drafts at the Briny in the past but decided to have lunch there one afternoon. We couldn't ask for any better fish and chips, hot, perfectly cooked, and quite the filling portion for a lunchtime special. Grab your draft and a bottle of vinegar and settle down for a great lunch at the Briny, and also enjoy the free validated parking at the adjoining lot. Cheers! read more

Atmosphere and food were absolutely amazing. The staff was super friendly!!! Would definitely recommend!!

BEST RUEBAN I HAVE EVER HAD! let me start by saying, we were walking around for hours in the hot sun and stumbled upon this place. My husband loves authentic Irish pubs and when we walked in we felt like we were transported to another country! The decor, the atmosphere, the lighting. It was all so unique and screamed, "Ello Govena" My husband drank an Irish ale and I just had a whiskey coke. Prices were cheap for the area. Server made us feel like family two days in a row and let me charge my dead phone on her charger. RUEBAN and fries and thousand island dressing were to die for. This place knows what's up. Huge portion of meat. Fresh bread. Homemade sauce. Go here! I can't wait to come back!! read more

fish was great our server was spot on laurie ann. you cant go wrong great fish the best wonderful server and right by beach

I came here for dinner with my neighbors and I didn't even know that food was served here! I just thought it was a dive bar! The food here was absolutely delicious. I ordered one of the specials of the day which was a salmon salad and it was delicious. My neighbors ordered the dolphin fingers and a burger. I tried the dolphin fingers by high request and that's definitely what I'll be ordering next time. Overall, this restaurant is definitely 5 stars food-wise and if you haven't been here, what are you waiting for?! read more

This is a Five Star Dive Bar. Mixed up clientele from all walks of life. The food is good, The beer is cold and the service is with a smile. I suggest a Guiness or three with a fish n' chips followed by a shot of Irish whiskey. read more

The blond bartender (Jennifer) was nice if not a bit frazzled. Dont bother with pretzel bites soggy with terrible dips!

Best pompano beach pub. Locals bar with great live music and bar tenders! My go to weekend spot

Took my daughter and grandson to the Briny after a hot morning at the beach. Geralyn gave us an amazing service. The food was great and very reasonable prices. read more

Classic Irish pub with beach friendly vibe. I had lunch here with clients while a condo next door! Yes we had fish and chips!

Surprisingly good for a bar located in tourist country. The waitresses are very attentive and keeps the drinks coming. We wanted a little more so we ordered the fish fingers and Irish spring rolls. The corned beef cabbage combination really works. The fish fingers were so crispy and the fish inside so moist. 80s tunes playing throughout. A lot of local color to observe. read more

I either have a much higher tolerance to alcohol than I thought, or ordered the wrong drink (but they didn't have mojitos), or went on an off day but of l the two rummy drinks I ordered and paid $7 each none gave me the slightest buzz. Ironically enough, $7 is the cost of regular smoothies that an ice cream truck was selling on the beach (things that make ya go hmm).. Since architecturally Briny Pub looked like one of my favorite chain Irish pubs, and some fellow Yelpers liked it, I was hoping for some good beachside grub. I ordered their chicken sandwich with BBQ sauce and crinkly fries. They did customize out the picked and Cole slaw. It was decent, the chicken juicy and bacon crispy. It could have used a little more sauce though. Being on Memorial Weekend staycation, I figured I'd enjoy my chicken sandwich with a mojito. Unfortunately they didn't have it, or a rum old fashioned (though they claimed to have a full bar, just not mojitos). I figured I'd at least settle for a Pina colada. While served up nicely with an orange slice, it tasted Virgin..with no hint of rum. Ditto for the (no) Rum Runner. I guess if I go again I'll just settle for a beer.. read more

What a wonderful most delightful surprise this place was. From the outside, I didn't expect much as the building façade appears disheveled, the door hanging partly open with a less than clean window pane. However, upon entering I was immediately taken by what is one of the largest bars in the area, having good bar stools with backs on them. The décor didn't seem to be Irish Pub décor at all, but instead with nautical items hanging all over the place as well as festooning the walls. It has a great selection of draft beers and ales. My service was sharp, friendly, and exceptionally good. They have a nice daily lunch menu as well as a dinner or meal menu. I had the dolphin as the locals here refer to it, which is the same as the Mahi Mahi served in the more expensive restaurants...I think they use the Mahi name in an attempt to merely justify a higher price, with an excellent tapas topping. It came perfectly prepared and, though I generally prefer my fish done very simple with mere lemon and dill, this topping was exceptional in every detail. It came with a fairly decent salad and a big heap of rice. This is about the same fish dish I would get at Bonefish but pay three times as much. Here, it was only $13.95, which is a good deal. The place has old wooden floors and all of the décor works together and seems fitting. The place is exceptionally clean as well as orderly. read more

I always love trying new places when I'm traveling. I asked my driver to drop me off at the beach, and he stopped right in front of Briny Irish Pub. After a nice walk on the beach, I headed back and figured I might as well give it a try.. it looked decent, had some pretty good reviews, and had beer. Since it was open seating, I grabbed a table towards the back of the place. Our server came over immediately and took our drink orders and gave us time to look over the menu. I asked what the fish sandwich special was, and was super excited when she told me it was Mahi Mahi. I ordered it and asked for her recommendation on how to have it.. blackened or grilled. I went with her suggestion of having it lightly blackened, which was definitely the way to go.The sandwich came open faced on a bun that was way too small for it, so I focused on the fish and ignored the bun. Absolutely delicious. Even though they have more than one location, this was definately a locals kind of place where you can get great food at a decent price.. and it's right by the beach! read more

If you're looking for amazing service this should be your first stop! Kate and Patrick were absolutely amazing. From the moment we arrived we were greeted we were met with a warm hello, and introductions. It was awesome to see two bartenders work together as a real team as they worked their side of the bar. We took the food recommendations from Patrick and couldn't have been happier with the food choices. The Shepard's Pie tasted so fresh and homemade. The fish and chips were amazing! I'm always picky when it comes to fish and chips but these were delicious, not over cooked or cold. Highly recommend trying them with a perfectly poured Black and Tan! Patrick knows a trick to make a clean, crisp line in the glass. I know I felt like a local in Pompano beach when visiting Briny Irish Pub! read more

Local pubs can be petty bad, and sometimes a little better than that. But it's hard to find a solid bar right along A1A. Briny's is better than most. It is popular with locals, and I would guess that tourists find it to be pretty good too. The bars keeps are plenty friendly, as is th crowd. Often there is love music set up in the back of the bar. Decent acts, and not so loud that it overwhelms the possibility for conversation as well Drinks are priced right. And they make a good margarita. It seems like you can say that about just about any place on the beach though right? It has a low ceiling compared to newer pubs and had a ton of odds and ends strung up so if your claustrophobic it can feel smaller than it is. But that is probably one of the only negatives. That and the lack of large windows to let in the outside light. There isn't a better local bar type place within many miles so if in the area this is the place you want to stop in at read more

It was a little dirty, and the music was terrible. We left pretty quickly. I did not feel comfortable there.

This was the only place open for food on the block on Christmas day. I've never had good pub food so my expectations were low, but the food turned out amazing! My parents and I were very impressed. We ordered the grilled tilapia sandwich, Angus burger, and a Mediterranean salad. The Angus burger was juicy with flavor. The Mediterranean salad had very freshly cut vegetables on it and the accompanying dressing was refreshing. The grilled tilapia sandwich was cooked perfectly and not dry at all. The tilapia and burger came with a side of fries which were right off the fryer and extremely crunchy! I ate every last one. The coleslaw was fresh as well (usually they're kinda gross looking in most places or don't taste that good because it's old). The service and food was a bit slow but probably because it was packed with it being the only place by the beach that was open. Our waitress was kind. Major kudos to them for really impressing me with their food! Thank you for a great experience, food, and a place to hang out on Christmas! read more

Excellent place to eat with fabulous service. We came during a busy time and were a crowd of six. There wasn't an open table big enough for our party. The manger/owner?? Had some big dude carry out a table from the back to put together with another open table to make room for us. The waitress was soo nice and personable we felt like a guest in her home. It did take a bit to get our food but considering this wasn't a fast food restaurant and we came during a busy time it was acceptable and totally worth waiting for. The food was EXCELLENT!!! The fish and chips is the star of the show! I meant to take a pic when they first brought it but forgot. Both the waitress and manager person checked on us to make sure all was well. The waitress did so a couple of times. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! read more

Outstanding British Pub on the corner of a main location. Good location. I was wandering around and couldn't find anything decent to have a beer with some grub. Saw the sushi place next door, but thought perhaps sushi in FL is nothing like sushi on the west coast. Saw the pub and a lightbulb flashed because as soon as I saw the menu, haaa a corned beef Reuben would hit the spot! Man, that Reuben had thick slabs of corned beef!!! Not much gristle! Washed down with a cold Blue Moon. The only negative about the beer selection was only 1 IPA. Meh I'd rather pass on Goose Island IPA. They should try investing in a couple IPAs. But hey it was a good visit. Staff was cool. I guess maybe I hit it at a good time because I can see this place being packed wall-to-wall, and thus, my experience wouldn't have been as great. But hey, benefit of the doubt. read more

Briny Irish Pub - Reuben & Guinness! - American Near Me - Pompano Beach, Florida

came here during the weekday during dinner time after a long day on the beach and just wanted to explore the area. It's your typical dive bar- locals scattered around drinking, some younger groups eating with friends, and an attentive bartender. I ordered a cheeseburger with fries and took off 1 star due to it coming back well done when I asked for medium rare. However, their fries are insanely good. Like I wouldn't have minded eating another plate of fries haha super crispy yet not cut too thin! This place delivers exactly what it needs to- decent prices on cold drinks, good bar food, and a relaxed atmosphere. No frills and nothing trendy, just a super casual place you'd go to when you need a beer and a burger with friends. read more
