An Irish pub on Ocean Drive sounds like it shouldn’t work, and yet Finnegan’s Way has been making it work for years at 1344 Ocean Drive. Two bars, outdoor sidewalk seating with front-row people-watching of the South Beach parade, sports on multiple TVs, and a menu anchored by genuinely good nachos, a standout Ruben, and dependable Irish classics make this one of the more reliable spots on the strip. Happy hour deals, Heineken 0 for non-drinkers, and bartenders who actually know how to make a Miami Vice cocktail two-for-one separate it from the average Ocean Drive experience. A solid base camp for the best street theater in Florida.
