Drexel Irish Pub

Live music, cheap beer, and getting to soak in the wonderful vibe of the Española Way Village. Case closed, in my opinion.

This is definitely a faux Irish pub, I could forgive that if it had a pleasant atmosphere or friendly help. They did not even honor my Unilocal coupon! There are so many great places in Miami Beach take the time to find a better place to spend your vacation time. Maybe they are only nice to locals, in actual Irish pubs in Ireland I was always treated with warmth and kindness as a tourist.

It was a while ago that I came here but I remember they had great service and decent prices. The inside was nice, a little worn. I had no problem getting in and out while waiting for my perpetually late friend to arrive.

After coming here now once or 50 times I have to say this is a great place to hang out. The food is pretty good and I dig the live music on Sunday (i normally hate live music). Prices are decent, service is always good and the people that hang here are a mix of locals, bandits, ex-​pats, conspiracy theorists and drunk ass religious folks. Either way you’ll find me here at least once a week – BZ.

My new home. I love this bar, so my review is going to be tainted with that in mind.
This is the best Guinness I have had in years. Some of the best I have had outside of Ireland. They pour the drink in the two stage draft process, giving it that wonderful thick head. The taste of freshness in the beer is out of this world.
The menu is limited to standard pub fare, but I have not had anything that is not good, not have my friends. I am personally addicted to the ranch burger, but the black and blue is incredible. I would recommend medium rare as the meat is of high quality and perfect with just a bit of pink in the center.
The fish and chips, sliders and flat breads are all really good as well. In fact my only issue with the place is the sometimes cold French fries.
The set up of the place is really well done. The bar area is comfy and dark, the outdoor seating is off the main strip so quieter and with great views. Inside the seating area often doubles as a poker area or a band area. (The Tuesday band is great and starts about 10).
As I write this I know I have to wander down there tonight and have a Guinness to start my weekend.

Great bartenders & service. Lots of large screen tvs. Went here on a Monday night. Enjoyed the neighborhood feel and the relaxed casual vibe.

watered down guiness. never again.

waited an hour for my burger. ended up having to take it to go. got home burger well well done. Good job guys on an empty night it should be much easier to watch the temp on a burger. Shame I cant give the place
no stars.

funny how consumerism works. this irish pub is right next to segafredo, not my favorite place on earth (if you read my review for it you could easily figure this out) and even though they are owned by the same people, the line which divides this two establishments is not only imaginary, but you can see it on the crowd. the drexel irish pub has its laid back patrons drinking guinness or sippin on glenfiddich 18 years (for only $ 11), the other side? look at all those faux hawks and popped fuckin collars. the guy taking care of us at the pub? nice kid, attentive and the best part? he didnt reek of carrot tanning oil!

Nice Irish bar off the beaten path in South Beach. There were actually 2 people from Ireland there and we chatted and listened to excellent live music from Fabian and a band. They had a few beers and I had OJ since I had to walk back home and I was already tired. The only disappointment was the OJ coming from the gun and not a bottle.

Be careful at this place. Everything includes tip, including when you are paying by cash. In other words, if you ask for a beer, and they say it is $ 8, it is really $ 6. Do not give $ 10. That’s why this place is more for tourists looking to pay for a certain experience than Sobe locals.

Guiness served in a skinny (12 ounce) heineken glass??? Really. And you call yourself an Irish pub. Enough Said. Skip this place and try out many of the other options on that beautiful Spanish street

MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT… for an Irish pub this is not cutting it! They served guiness in a heinekin glass (not even glass it was plastic) that wasn’t even the equivalent size of a pint! I know… you’re gasping and grabbing at your chest… I get it because I was too! We also ordered their buffalo bites… not so good. The chicken quality was good, but the flavor was less buffalo and more bbq. And the service was less than desireable… will never return here again. Oh, and it only got two stars because we were able to sit outside and the scenery was nice!

Well, this place has managed to migrate into my list of places you might find me. My friends are all big fans & I have come to like this place. The bartenders are sweet & they have live music from time to time that is pretty good. Fries here are delicious. This place kind of reminds me of bars back in the Midwest, it’s a friendly crowd here.

This is a super chill bar and the servers and bartenders are awesome, this is why I keep going back. The customer service is always great! They always have specials and you sit outside on Espanola Way. On the weekends they have live bands, I think this is the only bar in South Beach that has live rock and roll music anymore.
If you like steak salads you gotta try it here, it is awesome! Check it out, you got nothing to loose.

Since i was in the mood for some lunch, I wanted to try Drexel. The employess are kind and nice. Thank you :)

The owners of Segafredo have divided their Espanola Way location in half and opened up an Irish Pub on the other side. A formula that worked tremendously successful in Brickell. The new Drexel Irish Pub is a welcome addition to the crowded Miami Beach bar scene. An authentic looking Irish Pub complete with an extensive liquor collection specializing in whiskey (best Scotch collection I’ve seen on the beach), an Irish themed menu, Mahogany furniture, gilded ceilings and a coed staff dressed in plaid kilts.
Sunday nights are the best night to go there as they are called Sandy Feet Sundays and run terrific specials from 6pm til close with a DJ playing an eclectic mix. These specials include half price drafts and $ 5 8oz burgers with fries and $ 5 BBQ ribs glazed with Guinness and served with mashed potatoes and cole slaw (normally $ 14).
The service is friendly but slow. The food is very good and reasonably priced. The beer and liquor selections are extensive.
In spite of an extremely successful grand opening party that was covered by the local media and had extensive media reviews that followed, the crowds have not arrived yet.

I have been here 3 times to make sure I could be as even handed as possible with my review.
I was there 1^st on a Sunday and the experience was not very good save the attitude of out bartender.
Service was slow (+1 hour to get a burger) the a/​c was not working and the cable/​direct tv was not setup for the games.
No one seemed aware of the advertised specials and the manager never bothered to come over to our party and explain or expedite anything.
I think I should have gotten my food (excellent burger for $ 5) for free and medal for surviving the heat and the wait.
The owner of this place should give Ed the bartender a raise.
He single handedly saved this place from what was sure to be a 1 star review because on my next visit the following Sunday, he remembered my name, my choice of beer and that I wanted the burger special (with cheese) and I was drinking and eating in air conditioned comfort with party within 15 minutes.
The bottom line is that all business can have a rocky start and I am glad I made a second trip and on Sunday the FLINSTONES car tipping sized plate of ribs for $ 5 is worth the trip alone.
My 3^rd visit I was actually with the first reviewer and service outside was ok but they were busy for Wed, night I think .
By all means DO NOT order the GREEN BEER unless you have a cold, it taste like Listerine.
Sunday is for sure the best bang for the buck and I could a regular there for sure — curious to see how they will handle Football season with no bathroom (you need to go next door to Segafredo for now)
