Lucky Clover Irish Pub opens in Brickell

Luck of the Irish smiles in full downtown Miami with the arrival of The Lucky Clover Irish Pub. Occupying two levels of the Axis building in Brickell, this place invaded the center with 10,000 square feet where you can enjoy a few drinks,  live music and socializing, Celtic style.

Two floors, an indoor lounge, outdoor seating and capacity for 350 people, The Lucky Clover Irish Pub entertains the residents and young executives of Brickell, as well as fans of beer and whiskey. Those who go there know that in this great area of ​​rustic decor and dim lighting they are going to find people who appreciate the energy of a live band and just need a good list of beers and good people to spend a pleasant time.

To install such a space, the Spanish design company Retromania used its experience recreating authentic European pubs around the world to bring Miami a piece of Irish joy. With a facade of wood, rustic floors, leather chairs and walls filled with pictures that evoke European peasant life, plus photos and antique mirrors, they transport you to a different lifestyle, which contrasts with the turmoil of a financial center, traffic and the large buildings in the area.

Both the kitchen and bar are open from noon, in case someone wants to start the fun early. The chef offers tidbits to nibble such as pizzas (from $ 8.99) or quesadillas or calamari rings (from $ 7.99). And there is nothing better to accompany the time with one of the beers from the long list of domestic and imported brands. Copies of Ireland, England, Belgium, Germany and Holland are some of the options.

Those who feel more in tune with a Scotch in hand can enjoy the letter of whiskeys, bourbons and malt drinks provided by the bar.

And if this rustic atmosphere is not enough to try something Irish, the bar offers a huge list of cocktails to please everyone at $ 10, with names like Dublin Trouble, Naughty Leprechaun, Drunken Irishman.

The pub offers live entertainment every day, guest bands from Wednesday to Sunday nights, karaoke, DJ and happy hour from 4 p.m.

The Lucky Clover Irish Pub, 1111 SW 1 Ave, Miami; 786-691-2750.
