Horrible service

by cshimmy1 at Citysearch

I completely agree with the comment below. This place has great food (typical pub food i.e. burgers and wings) but the server was out of my mind rude. I had to literally bring my glass up to the bar and refill it since she hadn't come by the table in over 15 minutes and I ordered hot wings. When I asked her why she was being so rude, so started complaining about how many other customers were there (there were a whopping 3 of us).

Another note is if you like to be looked in the eye when being served don't come here...they hardly say a word and don't accommodate whatsoever.

I would recommend this place only if you can get the food for take out and can avoid the horrendous service. If not, I wouldn't recommend it in a million years.

• Pros: Food
• Cons: Little to none customer service

Best pub for miles around!

by Beach Resident at Citysearch

I first went to the Playwright shorlyl after it opened back in 2000 and I was hooked. From the excellent Irish pub grub to the Guinness on tap and the smiling (which is something for Miami Beach) friendly staff, there's no better place to spend lazy afternoon talking with one friend or a dozen.

It's great for an early dinner too with a menu that has some surprising and delicious items on it at great prices when compared with the surrounding restaurants.

In addition, the weekend sees the Playwright become jam packed with happy drunk tourists that are there to have a good time. If you're in the mood for one of those rip-roaring easy pickup joints, this is the time to come.

It's also an excellent sports bar with monitors everywhere and a projector at one end with food specials during big events like the Superbowl or World Series. What's not to like?

• Pros: Food, staff and atmosphere
• Cons: Washington Ave rent makes it a little more expensive.

Bad, bad experience at the Playwright

by freerunner at Citysearch

I hate to say it, but I'm not going back to this place. I went there with a group of 6 (six) and put down my credit card for the first round of shots to celebrate a friends birthday. Over the course of the night others in the group gave their cards to the bartender for drinks and food. At the end of the night, everything ordered was on my tab with the explanation that it was "easier that way." Try working out a $400 tab with people that had left. Caution! The catty and inefficient staff will stun you.

• Pros: Good wings
• Cons: Unprofessional and inexperianced staff.
