    Amazing pub. Amazing choice of tap beers and other alcoholic beverages. You can always ask the waiter recommendation for a drink. I loved spending time here and can't wait to go back to Firenze to visit this place again 😊

    This is an awesome Irish pub in the heart of Florence. We spent an afternoon here chatting with the proprietor, and he was friendly and an excellent conversationalist. The selection is big, even if the pub is small. Stop in for a pint or a dram. You'll be happy you did.

    Amazing bar in Florence with a huge selection of craft beer and cocktail choices. Consider it your lucky day if you go there when Goucho is bartending! The owner is also super kind and friendly. Good music, good conversation, and a comfortable place to stop for a drink while in Florence!

    This is just what I need in a pub. Great beers and very chill. Yasmine is a fantastic bartender and makes you feel welcome (even if you're a tourist). If and when I get back to Florence, I'll definitely be back.

    I didn't know what to choose so I asked for a recommendation from the barista. I appreciate the options I was given. The place is not loud at all, perfect for casual chill time with friends.

    Great beer selection, awesome staff. Fair prices. We met locals, we met travellers. the next night we returned and we were greeted by the staff as they remembered us from the night before. We made new friends and had really good experiences both nights. Just plain good folks there all around.

    Great pub to escape the heat in summer, good beers on tap with a good selection of Italian craft beer, friendly owner who was clearly passionate about what he does and provided good recommendations on beer

  • 5/5 Eric De S. 3 months ago on Google • 12 reviews New
    Stopped in for a quick drink before dinner, and ended up having more than a couple due to the wonderful service by the bartender, Sebastien. He gave us a great list of food recos that we tried (all were great) and kept us entertained.

    Cool place to drop in for a quick beer with a familiar atmosphere (basketball on TV and friendly English speaking bartender and American music. Bonus: nice selection of Whisky

  • 4/5 Jackie E. 11 months ago on Google
    Nice wee pub with good music. Bit expensive for morgans and coke at €10 but it is Italy!.

  • 5/5 E S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great bar. Great drinks! Even better bar tender. Very chill vibe. If I am ever back in the area, I will definitely come back.

    Lovely little Irish bar not far from the main train station in Florence, playing great music, nice to replay in. The bar man was a Smiths fan so got on famously with my fella.

  • 5/5 Daniel D. 10 months ago on Google
    Stopped in for afternoon drink and hard to leave. A genuine feel of a pub in Ireland, not a generic international Irish Bar. Barman and owner were both there and Great for a chat, as more people came they all shared the same vibe. Good beer selection, tap lines clearly looked after.Great spot!

  • 5/5 Jack C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great service and people, drinks were great and the environment was more than welcoming. Finding a pub in Italy is hard and this one exceeded expectation. Highly recommend this one for anyone just wanting to stop by for a drink. 👍

  • 5/5 Az R. 1 year ago on Google
    Stumbled across this place one evening after seeing the beer menu outside. Unexpected and delighted to find it. Great selection of beers, good vibe and the owner is a great bloke. Top pub I loved it in there. Congrats on 25 years.

    Friendly Irish/American themed bar with a great staff and fun patrons. Come see Max behind the bar and make some friends.

  • 5/5 Jeff T. 1 year ago on Google
    Stumbled across this pub on a walkabout town. Nice owner. Great selection of beers, free Wi-Fi and cold air conditioning. Great place to stop for a pint or 2 and cool off on a hot day of playing tourist. Most draft beers between 6-7 euro. Has a good inventory of hard alcohol too.🍻🍻

  • 2/5 Sarah M. 2 years ago on Google
    OK for a drink, maybe the bar becomes more lively as the night goes on. Barman was friendly and there seems to be a varied menu.

  • 4/5 Fabrizio SCOTTO di S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place for beer lovers. Missing star is for temperature... Recommended!

  • 5/5 Afe p. 2 years ago on Google
    Love the atmosphere, friendly bartender 1man show, 16 beers on tap! Music + Aircon love the bar seats, wallet friendly and many choices of beer! 🍻 🍺

  • 5/5 Valek 4 years ago on Google
    Walking down the street, i found this bar with some rock and nice vibe so decided to give it a chance and im glad i did it! Love the place, great selection of draft beer, super mega friendly staff, schiacciate ripiene and multicultural customers! There is only one size of glass, so i don’t think they do flights.

  • 5/5 KC T. 2 years ago on Google
    If you are looking for a pub not to far from Santa Maria Novella Station, this is the right place. Friendly staff a decent selection and good vibes.

  • 5/5 Guillaume D. 2 years ago on Google
    I was in this pub during my vacation in Florence. It's a very good pub, the welcome is perfect, the beers and the advice too. If I go back to Florence, I will come back to this pub!

  • 5/5 Andra 2 years ago on Google
    Awesome beer selection and even friendlier staff... Hands down the place I felt the most at home in Florence!

  • 4/5 Matt T. 1 year ago on Google
    Stopped in for a couple drinks into the Joshua Tree pub as it offered quite a few unique IPA’s that can’t be found readily throughout the City. Overall the drinks were nice, whilst perhaps being a little pricey, €6 for a pint of session IPA. The music really wasn’t to my taste, but you could tell the owner was very into it, and it’s his place so you can’t fault it really. He was a nice guy however so no complaints there. In fact, he wasn’t able to do a Mojito that day so recommended a replacement drink that my partner really enjoyed! Overall a good pub, can imagine it’s a good laugh in the evenings!

    A cosy pub with a great vibe! Good music, good beer and good company Free WiFi too...

  • 5/5 VERN 2 years ago on Google
    This was our ‘Local’ in Florence for several nights. Great spot to grab a pint or 2. (Very strong beer options). Good folks and good vibes. Locals and visitors mix for a fun atmosphere. Cheers 🍻 Vern

  • 5/5 Kimberly S. 2 years ago on Google
    Highly recommend! The owner Max is wonderfully welcoming. He had a great rotation of music. We met some lovely people from Wales and enjoyed some great beers. Nice place to get out of the rain for a couple of hours.

  • 3/5 Ann 2 years ago on Google
    My friends and I spent an evening drinking and hanging out here and I found the atmosphere very fun and lively. My only complaint is the prices. I found them a bit high compared to other similar places. For instance I paid €2.50 for a bottle of water (500 ml).

  • 5/5 Rasmus F. 1 year ago on Google
    A fine pub with special beers from Denmark and other countries. They had IPA on tap and could also make some drinks if someone isn't into beer. The music was generally rock, and sung in English. Bartender also spoke great English and was easy to communicate with. Good hidden gem for tourists who want to avoid tourist traps!

  • 5/5 Kurt S. 1 year ago on Google
    Local craft beer haunt dressed up as an Irish pub. 16 taps of beer mostly craft with at least 3-4 Italian options on rotation usually. Reasonably priced at 6.5EUR for pints of 6% craft beer. Owner seems to love Radiohead :-) Can sit on the street or inside, which is air conditioned. Overall a great local find and for craft beer lovers a great little spot worth checking out.

  • 4/5 Amy K. 1 year ago on Google
    Love this place and the vibe, the only reason I gave 4 was because I thought there was food. and there is none. But I have to love a place that charges €10 for you to choose the music you want to hear. But why mess with perfection. 😳

  • 5/5 Rella R. 1 year ago on Google
    Funky, friendly bar that welcomed all who were lucky enough to come in from the bustle of Florence. My best cocktail of the trip!

  • 5/5 Eva D. 2 years ago on Google
    The place is just fantastic, really an Irish pub vibe, wide selection of beers, and the lady is beyond friendly and welcoming, giving out samples of beers and descriptions in case you find yourself with beers you never heard of. Service is also very fast, and it's really really homey and cute. The only downside is the price, which is a bit steep, but worth it, just don't go to town on a dozen lagers and you'll be good!
