We came for a quick bite and a drink, and this place was perfect for it. We grabbed a seat and ordered fries and beer. The fries were amazing, and we really enjoyed our beer. Definitely a place we would come back to again.

Decent well run old style public house situated in a prominent city centre piazza. Outside seating area and a huge long area inside with alcoves and rooms to play pool or darts. Lot's of different beers and lagers on tap and there's deals on drinks at certain times. Very popular with tourists and the prices fairly reasonable within the tourist zone. Knowledgeable staff and quick aswell.

They know what they are doing with their guiness. Maybe the best pint i have tasted in few years. Went for one, but ended up with 4-5 pints that night. Deserve to be a landmark for stout lover.

Irish themed bar in Florence staffed with Italians, obviously. Neat mix of culture. Service was relaxed. Good beer and whiskey selection. NO coffee. This also means no Irish coffee, because of the NO coffee. Some patron struggled connecting the dots here. Outdoor patio is great but choose the shady side wisely.
