The Florence Irish Pub — Restaurant in Florence

Stopped by here to get a late night dinner as everything had either closed or was nearing closing. I did not imagine myself going to eat at an Irish pub in Italy and can say that my expectations for it were quite low (I mean how Irish can a pub be in Italy??)

Well this pub is IRISH. The whole ambience made me feel like I was in the Irish pubs back home although also a copy since I'm from Canada, but shoot it was a literal replica. Very well done. Also it was very lively with both locals and international people which made it seem that much more of a pub compared to the restaurants around Italy. Overall an awesome atmosphere.

The service was also very good with a lady (I presume to be the owner) stopping by to check on us as well as giving me a suggestion on ways to eat the food. Just a very sweet lady :)

The food was also quite good! I got the professer burger, my wife a hotdog, and we got wings to share.

Few selections on tap which is nice (I got the Italian IPA which was very pleasant despite my disdain for IPA's but settled to finish my meal with a classic Stella).

The burger - was very good especially with a perfect runny egg squashed inbetween. I did find that it lacked some flavour as I could taste the egg more than the burger itself. Having said that, it was a nice thick burger and satisfied my hunger. 4/5

The hotdog - my wife wasn't a fan of as it as it broke down really easily on her plate and she just didn't enjoy the taste of it but from my perspective, it was a well loaded hot dog. I'll leave it out of my scoring as I did not get a chance to try the hotdog.

The wings - unfortunately this was a miss as it was both salty and nearing burnt. The oil most definitely needed to be changed as the wings came out very dark (it was also quite late in the night so I imagine the fryer had seen many usages up until we got there & its a small fryer so less oil + more uses). Outside of the crust, the meat itself was still tender and juicy so there was a win there. Overall 2/5

Overall this is a great spot for a quick bite and a longer stay for beer & liquor as they have a large (and great) selection to choose from. The ambience lends itself to a good time and the tvs showing sports makes it a great place to hang out with friends or even make new ones! Despite the reviews on the food, I'd definitely recommend this place for a fun time with friends for a predrink or even just for a late...

A real Irish pub in Florence ignore the other pretenders. This is a fantastic bar if you’re down with metal, indie and rock music. Belting out one class tune after another we ended up playing guess the artist and tune that cost a shot or three! The owners aren’t Irish but that takes nothing away that they truly embrace the culture in the friendly atmosphere and approach to customers. The bar is tastefully decked out with soccer jerseys and scarfs and could be any “traditional” pub back home. We needed some soakage after one big session and ordered a mix of frittered vegetables and fries that really hit the spot. There’s a very extensive drinks menu and yes the Guinness is totally drinkable! The proprietresses stood us a drink at the end of the evening that was a lovely touch. The only thing this bar needs is a dart board to be...

This is a true delight to discover and enjoy. We loved our night there. The atmosphere is that of a true Irish pub, the food was a delicious Italian take on pub food. I had a schiacciata with finocchiona, cheese and some kind of mushroom sauce, while my husband had fish and chips. Congrats to the Romanian chef! The food was quite filling, just enough to counterbalance the refreshing taste of the beers. We had Cornet and Imperiale IPA and one other kind, that has a special nitro method. In any case, you can't really go wrong. In case you need explanations or help choosing, the friendly and knowledgeable waitress whose family owns the place is prompt with advice or a chat. We loved our evening there and I'd like to say we followed her advice to visit the San Lorenzo Market the next day. Definitely worth seeing. Thanks for a...
