Awesome neighborhood pub! They opened for the USA men's hockey game and it was packed at 8 am that Sunday! Great drinks and food. Our bartender, Jordyn, was the BEST. She was our bartender on several occasions and made the best cocktails, and had the nicest personality! Can't wait to return! read more

From the moment you walk in the door you are met with Irish-American hospitality. We dropped by on our way to Bean Beach and saw the orange and white Freckled Fin sign and were drawn by the possibility of Kilkenny (my favorite beer - if you don't know) and were met with high vaulted ceilings and an amazing cross- ventilation breeze and Chris the most charismatic bartender, I have ever meet. He loves music, especially hard rock, just ask him about it. The food menu looks amazing including poutine (if you don't know, ask somebody, I can't teach you everything on this review). We ordered the Irish Dip, just like you think, house-made corned beef topped with Swiss, grilled onions and red ale au jus dipping sauce. Absolutely delicious, the bread was fresh the sandwich was enough of everything and the au jus was le creme on the top. If you feel like chicken try their house make potato chips encrusted chicken tenders with omg good tater tots. All the food looks amazing. Drop by this summer and tell Chris the bartenders that Gigi sent you! You won't regret it!!! See the pictures. read more

Food was good. I ordered the Reuben would've liked a little more meat and more sauerkraut. Next time I'll tell the waiter. Everyone else seem to be pleased with what they had. It's always busy, but they try to accommodate everyone they have outside seating as well as indoors with a band. it has a real Irish pub feeling. Celebrating my husband s 86 birthday read more

Freckled Fin Irish Pub - Celebrating Dick Ouellette 86 Birthday at Freckled Fin in Holmes beach - Irish Pub Near Me - Holmes Beach, Florida

Our party of 5 sat in our booth for 20 minutes before anyone attended to us. We all just ordered drinks and handed our waitress/bartender our ID's. It took 15 minutes to get 4 beers and a martini. The waitress greeted us with an attitude and then proceeded to question and not serve our friend who is of legal age. After we told her it was real she still was adamant that her id was fake and wasn't giving her the drink until she answered her questions. She then ignored and did not give us any attention for the rest of the night. You will not get served unless you are a regular and sit at the bar. You will not be appreciated if you are young and trying to have fun, only if you are old and have money. read more

Food was good. Music was great with a dance floor. Service was very good. Somewhere pricy, but good value.

The food was delicious! Had the ahi tuna, tuna tartar & the burger. Everything was perfect! Great places to watch some sports or listen to some music. Servers & bartender were friendly & attentive. Loved it so much went back during our short week at the beach! read more

Such a fun friendly atmosphere! The bartender was so welcoming. We did not eat but the food did look good. As vacationers we have been here before and will always return. read more

Such a fun place. Great atmosphere and fantastic food! The Yellowtail was the best I've had in a long while. You are in for a crunchy surprise with the chicken tenders. Their quality of beef for hamburgers is outstanding. And the giant pretzels are meal by themselves, get them to share. Friendly people, excellent staff. read more

During our recent visit, we found that Samantha, our bartender, could have been more attentive, friendly, and outgoing. ;( When we first sat down, we needed a moment to settle in and look over the menu, so we only ordered water initially. However, Samantha seemed upset by this and walked away to the opposite end to talk to other colleagues including Greg. Every time we tried to flag her down, she ignored us... finally after getting her attention to order, she claimed there was no draft beers (but other patrons had draft beers served) and the drinks we ordered with club soda were 'flat' in which she claimed was fine but there were no bubbles at all in two of the drinks and tasted like water. Throughout our stay, it was very hard to get her attention for other rounds of drinks; seems she was ignoring us intentionally. Food overall was bland, but we understand this is a pub and bar food is what we were going to get. Overall, if the team was a bit more welcoming and attentive, it would have gone a long way toward making our experience more enjoyable. Not to forget, there was also a funky smell through the place. read more

Dependable food and great service. Love that they always have live music playing and some sort of happy hour promotion. We have stopped by nearly every day while in the area for vacation. read more

Hubby and I stopped by Freckled Fin Irish Pub twice during our recent trip to AMI. The first time was for lunch. I had the nachos with homemade potato chips and added chicken. They were good but a bit too salty IMO. However, their signature cocktails are good and strong. I had a drink that tasted like rum punch (can't remember the name). It was sooo good! The bartenders were all very attentive and friendly. We came back on Monday evening and Hubby did karaoke. It was a lot of fun! Know before you go - Arrive early for the karaoke night. It gets packed as it gets close to "showtime". read more

Good food cocktails and atmosphere. Great music band this past Saturday 08/09/2025 Lisa and all the terrain band .

the food was way below average had a Philly cheesesteak sandwich and it was the worst I have ever had the key lime pie was worst I ever had. the service was horrible. the drinks was expensive and did not have good taste. the decor was ok but not a place I would recommend. I will never eat here again. read more

This Irish pub is our go to place for cocktails and some good bar food when we are on the island. Both the drinks and food is very reasonably priced. The service is very good and pleasant. Typical Irish pub ambiance. Happy hour is from 3-6. Live music usually starts from 7-7.30 until 11-11.30. read more

We went for the entertainment. Jamaican band was playing. Food and service was good. Family fun night was great!! read more

My family and I had carryout while on a recent faction to AMI. We placed our order online and received confirmation, but upon arrival at the scheduled time, they had no record of the order! They did quickly prepare our order while I waited and eventually were able to track the ticket down. They threw in a piece of pie for the error. Overall the food was pretty good. I actually really enjoyed the poor man's tenders, which are coasted with house made potato chips before being deep fried. Again service was friendly, but their execution behind the scenes may need some work. read more

Freckled Fin Irish Pub - Poor Man's Tenders - Irish Pub Near Me - Holmes Beach, Florida

Food is always great. Staff is very attentive and focused on great service. We love this great restaurant! Drinks are always perfect!

I keep coming back, even though I rarely drink anymore and they may have a tendency toward cringey Irish-"Dad"-jokes. Stopped in for lunch because I just dig the food. Mahi Mahi sandwich was delish. Fries and tots are too. No poutine for me this time, but seriously good if you're down for the gut-bomb that is the fries + gravy + bacon + cheese curds deliciousness. Oof. Service at the bar with a smile and a few jokes and some witty repartee. Typical "Irish bar in the US" atmosphere. Love it. Will be back. read more

We got right in, sat down, ordered, and the food came out very well timed. If you like cheese curds, theirs are fantastic. I got the Reuben. Very lean and delish. Couldn't eat it all. Same goes for their curds. Portions are for more than two people so plan accordingly. read more

Freckled Fin Irish Pub - Reuben - Irish Pub Near Me - Holmes Beach, Florida

This place is more of an experience than anything else. It was absolutely rocking on a Wednesday at 5pm so I can only imagine what it's like during normal bar hours. People watching at its finest. I highly recommend spending a rainy beach day taking in the crazy scenes here. Staff was both accommodating and attentive. Cool place with discounts for tourists if you can find them. read more

Came here because it was the only place our party of 8 could get into without having to wait. My young son ended up getting food poisoning from the cheese curds. Food was overly greasy, air conditioning wasn't working well, and the place had a sewage-like odor. Won't be coming back. read more

The brunch on Sunday is awesome! I have been craving Ming to Anna Maria for many years and have frequent Freckled Fun but the brunch is new! The chef cooking the eggs and Allie at the bar were great! Can't beat the experience for the home away from home!! read more

Wow. Wow. Wow!!! Stopped by on a Sunday to watch the Chiefs play and we had an incredible y. Food was great. Drinks were outstanding. For our 4 hours there, we spent the same amount for food and drinks as we did in an hour at the Ugly Grouper (which was amazing as well).... Highly recommend Freckled Fin to watch the game or to enjoy some quality cocktails and food. Don't forget the Pub Nachos!!! read more

Greatest boneless wings ever made. Went there five times in two days with my friends on vacation.

Solid Irish pub that leads with a good drinking environment. Good huge bar, lots of seats and well staffed by friendly bar keeps. No Irish brogues but they keep the Jameson and Harps coming. Fish and Chips good representation that hits the high notes. Good selection of other Irish staples (corned beef, shepherds pie, etc.) to pass muster on Florida coast. read more

Amazing staff! Great drinks. Fun spot to spend time. It's in the north end of the island and it's not fancy but the music was good and bar tenders are the best. read more

I went here for lunch with two friends. I had the Blackened Mahi sandwich, my friends had the Boom Boom shrimp and the tuna Sashimi. It was all very good. The two bartenders, Chris and Julie were very friendly and made us feel like a local. This place will be a new island favorite when I visit again. read more

Food was amazing and the service was fantastic. Our server Geoff was so sweet. The ambiance was relaxing.

Asian hate crimes at this establishment my friend is 24 and I gave her ID at the bar and because the bartender Mackenzie overheard a conversation saying I was from New York she had assumed that we were under age which makes no sense and because of that my friends ID was broken completely unacceptable read more

Walked in on a Wednesday night around 7 pm and could grab a seat at the bar immediately. The bartender was very nice and prompt taking our drink order, looked over food menu, and ordered that too pretty quick. Lots of tv's around the bar with sports on and our timing was we arrived just as live music started with rock n roll trivia game mixed in with music. Lots of fun! Food was out fast: ordered the cheesesteak (for my husband) the irish dip sandwich for myself (both came with fries) and we had 10 dry rub wings which were very good. The food was a bit oversalted for my taste but my husband loved it. We wanted to buy some souvenirs but not much other than tee shirts so in the end we didn't buy anything. A nice time and casual night out we were looking for. read more

Server was fantastic and we had 9 people. Live music was fun while we ate. Ambiance felt like what you would expect....a real Irish pub. Decorations on the walls at each table was a nice touch. The Reuben rolls, ahi tuna, Reuben basket, the fish and chips, kids loved the burgers. read more

The service from Chris was top shelf. He's was the sole bar man. Wonder ambiance with the 80's music. Food was great and drinks were better. Heavy pour with all. Many locals stop by. You won't be disappointed. Would love to have this as a local to me. 10/10 read more

The bar tender (Mackenzie) snapped my real id in half and then proceeded to offer me no apology despite the fact it scans. I'm visiting from 3000 miles away in ca and about to go on a huge trip. I heard the bartenders discussing my friend and I's appearance. Super sad I've been coming here for years and never treated like this. read more

Food is good with nice selections and the bar is great. But during the week days, Chris the bartender kills it every day. He is full of fun energy and great service. If you haven't had a drink with Chris you haven't experienced AMI in all it has to offer. read more
