Such a fun vibe. Dj is awesome. Got down drinks from their Christmas menu- the coconut one was very good and the chocilate peppermint one delicious. Also super decorated for Christmas. Love it. Will be back.

The pop up love shack was a great time! They have decorated for Valentine's Day and so many pictures were taken. The service was good and drinks and food were amazing! We had the John Martins burger, Greek salad, avocado toast, and passion fruit drinks. All were delicious!

We enjoyed celebrating holiday seasons with my girlfriends at the Irish pub! Who knew the best Xmas decorations are at the Irish pub?! Food was surprisingly excellent! I would love to come back another time.

There are great places you go to for a drink. There are great 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.

If you really want to experience an Irish Pub in Miami, FL, this is the place. Such a nice pub with a vast variety of food in the menu. The food is really good; there are a lot of types of drinks and beers. The atmosphere is great as well as the service. Some nights you can get live music and a good party; expect a full house. The place is quite big, with different areas to choose. Good for family or friends, and to watch a game. Street parking outside in front available.

John Martin's Espresso Martini
Jocelyn A.

The pizza flatbread was actually really delicious! I was expecting it to be an ordinary flatbread, but this one was tasty and had a great amount of cheese. The espresso martini was good, but it wasn't my favorite espresso martini. Note, they have a late night, limited food menu. So, some dinner options are not available at any time. I do also love that they have a charity burger where they partner every month with a new charity, and any time that burger is sold, they donate some of the proceeds to that respective charity. The service at the bar was good and helpful. The place itself is super cute! It's a nice, beautiful Irish bar. They have large screens at the bar to watch football games. They have a section for darts. The outside as an Irish pub feel. The inside is more upscale than an Irish pub. The location is in the Gables. So, you have to park on the street or in a garage. Therefore, be prepared to pay for parking and finding a spot to park.

One of the whiskey flights they offer

I found this great Irish pub on Miracle Mile on a stroll. I decided to walk in because they had a cool vibe with the long bar and music. I'm glad I did because it turns out they make the second best fried chicken wings I have ever had. But to top it off, it was a Tuesday and they had a $1/wing special. Lucky me. Then Melissa told me about the whiskey flights (4 of them) so you can try different variations, including Japanese. (She was very nice so kudos for the experience). I opted to buy individual shots so I wouldn't be limited to just one type (plus I always think flights are more expensive per ounce than just buying the shot). I will say that this place definitely has one of the best curated and high quality whiskies I have had. Another plus, unlike Calle Ocho or Miami Beach, this place didn't automatically add 20%+ in their bill without disclosing. They didn't add any default tipping. So thank you owners for not ripping off tourists. Also, the whiskey prices were reasonable at $15-$18 for this area

Came here for a Valentine's Day event. It's a typical Irish pub. With lots of tvs for sports. . The menu is the standard menu. Fish and chips and fried foods. The entree meals are interesting. I went for the Mac and cheese and fries. My friend got a flat bread. One thing is the service was excellent . The ambiance is casual. Prices are the usual prices. Food is average.

Beautiful place. Love the bar area with little tables where You can enjoy your drink privately. I Recently went with a friend from out of town just for a drink. No food was purchased so I can't speak about the food. But the place itself is very pretty and comfy. Service was good! I would definitely go again and maybe try their food next time.

Great potato soup

So I really would like to give this adorable Christmas decorated pub more stars. Because the vibes were perfect, the Miami dolphins were winning on the tv, and my food was super yummy. The loss of stars was for our clearly flustered server. He was constantly apologizing, forgetting, upselling, and yelling. Like twice he left our table mid order to yell at a food runner where to deliver a burger. Very detrimental to our experience. The hostess, bartenders, and back waiters were all pleasant and efficient. My fries and classic burger w the truffle fondue subbed for cheddar were both solid 10's. The potato soup was a good portion and delicious. Greek salad with chicken good but not outstanding. If we had a different server this would've been a great experience. If I was seated in his section again, I would leave without ordering.

We came here on a Saturday night and it's Christmas bar during the holidays! Super cute themed place, the food was great try the glazed meatballs. The service was slow but we were a big party of 8 so that's understandable. The server was very accommodating and patient with us! I would certainly go back.

I have been here twice on Friday nights. Once was packed, the other time was empty, but to be fair-it was the day after Thanksgiving. A+ for effort in having a DJ but he needs to read the crowd better. Great service, nice atmosphere, losing their Irishness. Loud clubby music not the right vibe. Haven't had the food recently but it's usually very good,

How much is the pint of guiness? And do they pour well?

Guinness draft is $9/pint or $12/20oz glass. The pour depends on the bartender. None that I've seen here since the remodel are Irish and many are quite young and experience levels vary.

I've tried the nachos before, and this time I ordered the Beef on Weck burger with sweet potato fries. The burger was exactly what I was craving, juicy, tender, and full of flavor. The sweet potato fries were the perfect side. I've also been here several times to watch Florida Panthers games and World Cup matches, and it's always a fun atmosphere. The ambiance is lively without feeling overwhelming, making it the perfect place to catch a game while enjoying good food and drinks with friends or coworkers. The staff is always friendly, attentive, and quick to make sure you have everything you need. Overall, it's a great neighborhood spot with great service, a welcoming vibe, and food that keeps me coming back.

They check back with you, joke, and give you plenty of time to browse the menu. Heck, they even opened up a little early to give our group of weary travelers a place to sit. ++ They definitely have a little something for everyone. I've noshed on breakfast sandwiches, Cuban sandwiches, and more. Everything is on par for airport food. The Cuban is probably my favorite. ++ Full bar first thing in the morning after a stressful night of travel. Yep! It's there and ready to alleviate your woes. Not to mention ample nonalcoholic options for those that don't imbibe. CONs: -- Prices are a bit steep for what you get. I mean, it is still an airport. -- The space is a little tight, especially when you add in travelers and their luggage. -- Most of their menu items appear to be premade or premixed. So if you have an aversion to onions - too bad. You get what you get. All in all, The Clover Irish Pub is a-okay in my book. Knowing that I have more travel in my future, I'm sure I'll make my way back.
