Not what we were looking for in Destin, not a water front sea food restaurant. All I can say it was great. Very well run, high quality and high quantity of food. Service could not be better. They make great beer on site; very high quality. Strong Irish menu, but fresh sea food also. We will go back on every... more

Who knew a peanut butter burger would actually taste good? My husband and I both got burgers (mine was the pb and his was a bacon jalepeno) and they were so good, but huge! I suggest splitting one with somebody. Their black bread is pretty good with the bean soup, too. The margarita could have been better, but hey, it... more

I eat at McGuire's every year when I go down to Florida. Their menu is generous with offerings. They have drink specials (all night) every day with different items per day. The restaurant is uniquely appointed - dollar bills flutter from every inch of the ceiling and there's a lot of wood and different levels to sit in to eat.... more

While vacationing in Navarre Beach Florida, my family and I stumbled upon McGuire's Irish Pub and Restaurant, boy am I glad we did. This was the greatest place we found anywhere around the area. It's a must for dinning. We aren't drinkers, so no report on brew, but food wise, the best I have had anywhere. Service was great, atmosphere... more

Our first night in town we always hit McGuire's. Their ribs are very good; tender with just the right amount of sauce. My only negative comment is that I feel hurried when I'm there. more

Great experience, it's worth it just to take in the atmosphere. You can go expensive with a steak, or just get a burger, which is still awfully good. Make sure you get the .18 bean soup with the bread and honey butter, which is fantastic. more

An Irish pub on the beach - want's wrong with that picture. This is nothing more than an over priced beer joint - $17 for a bowl of fish stew? The best thing was the 18 cent bean soup. If you want to go to an Irish pub, go to Boston. more

If you are looking for the quintessential Irish pub experience that can found anywhere from Rome to Tokyo with pints of Guinness and a nearly identical atmosphere no matter where you are, this is not your place. McGuire's is more of a restaurant than a pub and not anywhere you'd go to watch a game. The food is very good,... more

My husband and I had eaten here before years ago. Was okay, but just never ate there again. We have been going to Destin for 15 + years. Some from our group wanted to go so we went too. Got the ribs and they were to die for. Very large portion, and wonderful. I could not eat them all so... more
