Fun Spot, Happy Atmosphere

by jenbo777

Besides the feel of being in an Irish Pub, John Martin's serves the best Irish dishes. Their food is awesome! They even have karaoke on Wednesday nights! If you're looking to hang out with some friends and kick back with a cold one, John Martin's rocks!

• Pros: Karaoke, Great food, Drink Specials

AMAZING!!

by wouldntulike2kno

Excellent restaurant... not cheap but affordable.. great for a night out with your friends, the live music and the buzzing noise of laughter welcomes you. not a fan of loud noise, don't worry, there's an area that allows you to talk to the person across the table without yelling while still enjoying the music! the service is also very good all the waiters are very friendly and helpful..

Best Atmosphere! Wholesome food and people

by cityandbeach

Well, I love this place! I always go with my friends when I am back in Miami. It has a sort of European feel to it and the atmosphere is cool and relaxed. Last time I was there I had their burger and a side salad that had the best dressing... I am not sure what it was but I think it was the house. we also tried their self brewed wheat beer which was good and really affordable. I like supporting family run place like Johnmartin's and you know the food your getting is homemade.

• Pros: atmosphere, home made food, Really great wheat beer

Great Place, Nice People

by cristi032

I went to John Martins on my birthday, and when no other restaurant in the area would take reservations, they did. They gladly accommodated my party of 22 and brought our food promptly considering the size of the group.

I've had the fish and chips, the New Zealand mussels, and the stuffed tortellini... All have been fantastic. And the chocolate cake they brought me for my birthday was delicious. Thankfully the waiters did no cheesy singing, they left that to my friends.

Good food & drinks, nice ambience

by yanik

We really like this place. My husband loves the spinach salad and we often go with the girls for lunch so he can have it, even if he had it the night before. Friday nights are a lot of fun, with great live music and a rambunctious happy hour crowd. Very casual and relaxed setting. Good food and drinks. Great weekend place and great for kids during the day.

• Pros: Full bar! Casual & relaxed ambience! Great on Fridays!
• Cons: Parking

Good burger

by sf33

This place was pretty good. I was very skeptical about an "Irish Pub" in Miami of all places, but my burger was good. I think my friend got the Shepard's Pie, and he seemed to like it. Prices were reasonable and service was good.

• Pros: Food and service were good
• Cons: I thought the decor was a little weird, but it wouldn't stop me from going back.

Great Burgers...

by luvlust07

The burgers are very good and so are the fries. The Ambience is good, the service and good for a place to hang out after work.

Run by Irishmen Martin Lynch and John Clarke, this pub proudly proclaims its heritage in Latin-friendly Coral Gables.

The Scene
If you could see past your nose in this dim, forest-green and wood-paneled pub, you'd notice burly suspender-wearing types lounging at the bar and cigar-smoking execs dining in the supper rooms. No fruity drinks or mojitos here: This is a popular scene for the portly, hard-drinking, Guinness-moustached crowd.

The Food
The traditional sausage-and-potatoes dish is typical of the Irish fare served, which also includes potato soup, corned beef and cabbage, Irish lamb stew, fish-and-chips, pan-seared calf's liver, and shepherd's pie. Seafood dishes like fresh dolphin sandwiches and grilled salmon with a dill cream sauce round out the menu. Order Harp, Bass and Guinness on tap.

You MUST try this place!

I have been going to John Martin's for years; it is a fun, festive environment and the best pour in town. The food is always fabulous, whether it's traditional Irish fare you are looking for or great steaks, burgers, and other American cuisine as well. Martin himself is always there, greeting everyone with a smile. St. Patty's day can't be beat; there is no better place to celebrate, hands down.
