The Auld Dubliner Irish Pub & Kitchen — Restaurant in Miami

1st & 2nd visit: Authentic, felt like I stepped off the Miami sidewalk and into an Irish pub/eatery. The full Irish breakfast was a full days worth of food in one meal. Liam the bartender, was a worldly man and full of good conversation. 3rd & 4th visit: Diffrent bartender and the guys service sucked. Today is Easter Sunday. It my 4th visit, I came straight here post Mass. The bartender was on his phone while I sat at a dirty bar and waited to order.. He brought me my tea after telling me he had no cream, I said that's fine I'll take sugar. I had to flag him down for the sugar, while the tea over steeped . This is the same guy that on my third visit argued with me about tea not coming with the breakfast (it clearly says it on the menu) he literally belittled me in front of the whole bar, so on that visit I left and went next door for brunch. So within good time I hear the kitchen bell ring 3 times before he gets up and goes for the pick up. It was my food and the bar is still dirty so I slide down to a cleaner part of the bar. He drops the food off and gets back on his phone. I’ve got a full Irish breakfast in front of me and it looks incredible! I start off with the beans and toast as I wait for the condiments to arrive. I finished them and the guy still hasn’t brought anything. By the time I flag him down and get the salt, pepper, ketchup and brown sauce, my food is cold. However it is so good, it’s only a minor inconvenience. Finally I’m ready to pay and I look down the bar to get his attention and he’s literally picking his nose! I get the bill and it’s higher than I was expecting, he had hit me with an 18% auto gratuity!!!! Are you kidding??? How is this ok? No wonder the service is piss poor, homeboy is gonna get top dollar regardless of his performance. Nah, I paid cash and left my personal minimum tip of 8%. I was going to tell him how disappointing his service was and that his auto gratuity was unacceptable but as I left, he had his back to me and the door; he was watching the basketball game instead of looking after the customers...

My absolute favorite pub was Fado's not too far from this location. Most Saturdays in the fall, I'd watch/support my favorite soccer team which is Arsenal! Out of the blue, Fados closed up shop and the best place to catch a Premier League disappeared sadly. Last night, one of my buddies told me about this place and how they also, open up super early and they show live Premier League games! That's huge considering that The English play 5 hours ahead of our Eastern Time Zone.

Anyway, back to this establishment itself. They served your stereotypical drinks you'd find at any pub or bar. The Irish breakfast was delicious and filling. The atmosphere was GREAT, despite the fact it wasn't exactly my favorite team playing lol (Chelsea was playing. YUCK!). I used to live in The UK for roughly 3 years and being here brought back sweet memories and smiles. If you're a Premier League fan or enjoy soccer, I'd totally recommend this Pub. If you're looking for somewhere to talk and drink, you won't be disappointed either way! Finally found a spot for my...

Beer was not bad, loved the performance. However the bartenders need some basic customer service. Sorry but it was my friends birthday, we went out and he asked for a beer. The worn down, older female bartender (I didn’t catch her name) seemed to be looking for a problem. She joked around with my friend about her putting money on the table that he’d fall asleep bc he had been having a great end of the week with birthday festivities and hadn’t slept in a while, he said he didn’t have money to put on the table (whilst giving her his card)… she misunderstood it as something vulgar or explicit and literally threw back the card at him & kicked him out. . . . A free bday beer I guess (only reason I gave...
