The Field Irish Pub and Eatery: Fort Lauderdale’s Hidden Gem with Authentic Irish Charm

Alright, foodies! Buckle up, because SoFloDining just stumbled upon a piece of pure Irish comfort, thanks to a very insistent local expert—Doris’ youngest son, Jake. After calling this corner of South Florida home for over two decades, I finally experienced this bona fide culinary destination. We’re talking about The Field Irish Pub and Eatery in Fort Lauderdale (3281 Griffin Rd), and trust us, it’s more than just a restaurant—it’s a captivating culinary escape to County Clare!

The moment the doors open, you step into pure tradition. You are immediately transported by the dark woods, cozy snugs, and the kind of intimate, traditional decor that makes you forget you’re just minutes from the airport. It’s exactly as authentic as it looks on their site. To kick off the celebration properly, we indulged in some serious libations. I went for the sophisticated Irish oak-fashioned, a stunning twist featuring Glendalough Single Pot Still Irish Oak Aged Whiskey. Doris, needing her celebratory jolt, chose the classic Irish Coffee, made with Glendalough Irish Whiskey and a perfect layer of fresh cream. With the atmosphere set and our glasses charged, we were ready to eat.

For our entrée, I dove headfirst into the Meatloaf entrée a special that evening. Let me tell you, this was moist, savory, and paired perfectly with creamy mashed potatoes and crispy onion tangles. The rich, dark brown gravy, cascading down the pile, was sheer perfection. Doris chose the Bangers & mashed, the quintessential Irish pub staple featuring authentic Irish sausage and savory gravy. The birthday boy, Jake, showed impressive culinary adventurousness by ordering the Impossible™ Shepherd’s Pie (v/gf), a delicious plant-based twist that proved true comfort food knows no dietary bounds.

From the first sip to the last bite, The Field delivered an authentic, warm, and memorable experience. We finished our celebration with the finale of the evening: a glorious red velvet birthday cake we brought in from Big Mike’s Gluten-Free Bakery, which was absolutely delicious. The ambiance, food quality, and welcoming nature make this spot truly special.

SoFloDining officially declares The Field Irish Pub and Eatery a MUST-VISIT destination! Get ready to have your senses wowed and leave feeling like you’ve been on a mini-vacation to the Emerald Isle.

The ultimate FOMO moment comes from delaying your visit and missing out on the Sheer Perfection Meatloaf, the sophisticated IRISH OAK-FASHIONED, and the authentic, cozy charm that defines this powerhouse of comfort food.
