I hate to say it, but I'm not going back to this place. I went there with a group of 6 (six) and put down my credit card for the first round of shots to celebrate a friends birthday. Over the course of the night others in the group gave their cards to the bartender for drinks and food. At the end of the night, everything ordered was on my tab with the explanation that it was "easier that way." Try working out a $400 tab with people that had left. Caution! The catty and inefficient staff will stun you.

Pros: Good wings

Cons: Unprofessional and inexperianced staff.

My friend who is Miami local took us to Playwrights, it is a great place with a good mix of people. We meet a ton of random people from all over. It is easy to get drinks and the bartenders are really nice. It is much more chill than a lot of places in Miami and was welcome break from the high priced clubs. I would definitely go there again.

Pros: Great location, fast service, and great people.

I'm a PW regular - know all of the boys....the girl that everyone keeps referring to below also used to date Mick Jagger's body guard, Adrienne Gard (the Aussie that takes all the crazy fans down during the shows)! I used to see M in pictures with the Stones when they were traveling.......only a real Stones fan would know that- just thought I would share a bit of PW trivia with the Beach!!! -I don't think she knows that I know that....don't tell her that I told you... -LK

Pros: It's easily the coolest place on the Beach

Cons: None!

I totally disagree with the below comments from some idiot who probably didn't realize that he was in South Beach and bars were going to be chaotic no matter where you were going to be. I am sure one of his drunk friends stumbled out and was giving the bouncer flack. My friends and I were also here all day on Sunday, and had such a great time that we came back on Monday too! The service was great, although the drinks were a bit pricey. It was a great atmosphere for the game....we managed to get a few seats at the bar where this awesome (and gorgeous I might add) bartender Maggie, served us all night. I came back Monday just to see her and that great pub again. Unlike the the comments from below, I would recommend this bar to everyone who ventured down south here to Miami. Thanks for a great weeekend!

Pros: Hot Blonde bartender named Maggie!

On Superbowl day, our party was there most of the day, running a tab ,one member of our party went
outside and was refused entry by the stupid gorilla bouncers even though his server verified he had
a running tab. We will never go back to Playwrights, its off the VIP list as far as we're concerned And we
will tell all our friends and every blog we know.

Just because you have an Irish name for your bar and serve Guinness does not mean authenticity but this is the real deal. Not only is The Playwright Pub a transplant from Ireland in the decor, it is a greatly refreshing atmosphere from the typical South Beach pomp and club scene. If you are looking for a bar not a night club, it is a good find. Shhhh, don't let everyone know, there will be a line out the door if word gets out.

This is seriously the greatest bar in Miami. I live in the neighborhod, and frequent the Playwright on a weekly basis. They just hired this new blonde bartender who is the hottest thing I have ever seen! They usually have all mates behind the bar- so whoever hired her....smart move! Anyway, food is good and there are always great matches on the plasma T.V.'s. Highly recommended to people who live in the area who just want a "normal" place to hang out where a total babe will serve them a great pint of Murphys!

Drink it up.... and forget about everything else.........Buy backs are great in there....Super Staff.....can get expensive towards the end of the night though....this shouldve been a dive bar instead of a Rest/Bar...Lot's of babes in there that like to get liquored up..

OK this is all new.The bar is now too touristy... I found a better one across the street.Much nicer and better beer.Waxy's O conners is the better place for everything . Sorry PlayWright but you guys got way too expensive and I don't feel its worth it.

Pros: Once you get to know them you'll be fine

Cons: No Guiness and I can never remember how many I've had..

I enjoyed a few late nights at this great spot. The price was fair, the scenery was even better. The music brought the ladies inside, and the prompt service from the bartenders kept the party rockin. This place is just like your hometown favorite, helps to keep you from getting homesick too soon in your vacation. A really fun place to go anytime of the day or night.

Pros: Price, service, ladies

Cons: none

This is by far the best bar/pub in south Flordia. Where else can you get such a relaxed atmosphere,good looking girls and not get ripped off in Miami.They have great pub food also. This is a must for anyone lookin to have a good time.

Pros: Great food, Good looking staff, 6 plasma tvs

Cons: none

Ignore the fact that this pub's locale is in the heart of South Beach, once you step through the doors you will leave the busy streets and beautiful people behind. The Playwright has a very cosy and welcoming atmosphere that envelops you. The food was top notch and prices average for engligh/irish pub fare. Try the Bangers and Mash for a real treat, the roast beef was also stellar and if you wanted to try something new order a Shandy - half harp/half sprite straight to you from the motherland

Pros: Good Food, Huge TVs for games, average priced

Cons: not a one
