PUB32 – Irish Gastropub

Well done Pub 32, well done! From the first greeting through the door of «pick any seat you like» we felt relaxed and comfortable. We had the shepherd’s pie and chicken pot pie and both were fantastic. We even splurged on bread pudding for dessert! Oh my! We will be coming back here before we leave Siesta Key!
Came back again and it was even better! I went out of my comfort zone and tried something new. I had the Dublin Coddle which is chicken thighs, a banger, with onions and potatoes in a meaty sauce. It was seriously the BEST meal I have EVER eaten! I wish I had the same thing last time it was so good! Hubby had the shepherd’s pie again. We brought the girls this time and they had (and loved) shepherd’s pie and chicken pot pie. I want to come back to Siesta Key again soon so I can come back here!

Live (good!) Irish music, great wait staff, and well-​prepared food = 5 stars. Spouse had an Amberjack special (fabulous) and I had the goat cheese cakes with broccoli/​cauliflower mash (YUM!). The kids loved their mac and cheese with veggies… and dug the music.

Surprised to find this Pub in Sarasota! Food, service and price? Trifecta. My two favorite dishes are the chicken pot pie and the brunch sausage gravy and biscuits. Can’t say enough good things about this Sarasota treasure!

Delicious food. Service was a bit slow, but nothing I’d ever complain about. Looking forward to going back!

Had high hopes based on other reviews but honestly disappointed. Ordered a burger medium and basically burnt on outside but did seem to still have some pink (medium) on inside. Service was sketchy at best. Asked for a couple of things; either took forever or never came at all. My friend had the Reuben and ate every bite and loved it. House made crisps were excellent as well. Beer glass had a huge crack in it; not sure how this wasn’t noticed before serving. They did have some live music, guy was really good Irish folk music.

We had the Easter Sunday Brunch and it was really good. I had the fish and chips, and my daughter had the steak and eggs. We also had the muffins and scones. We would highly recommend them.

The worst food we’ve had in nearly 13 years we’ve lived in Sarasota! Salty beyond belief! Disgusting!

This is a fantastic, locally owned gem of a pub with an exceptionally great menu. Quite a range of menu items, from a healthy kale salad to a rueben sandwich to salmon quiche to traditional fish & chips; whatever you fancy and many healthy options too… and don’t forget the SUPER gravy. Service is prompt and friendly; Samantha is our favorite! Finish off your visit with a pickle back shot! Winning!

Great food. Good beer selection was a little loud but it was a great time full of people and a busy restaurant

We had not be in for several months and popped in for dinner. We enjoyed in the past but the updated menu was a pleasant surprise! Several new items along with some standards. I had the steel oat and goat cheese cakes. Excellent. So nice to have something somewhat traditional with a twist. Took some bread pudding home for dessert. It was great! We will definitely be back to try the other «new» menu items.

Braised Beef Sandwich was amazing!!!
And the wife had the bangers and mash which are equally delicious.

Chef Suzy is amazing! We just finished a delicious Sunday brunch. Everything is made to order from scratch and is a brilliant combination of traditional recipes with a fresh and surprising twist. The chef made paleo recommendations and they have gluten free options as well. I had the Full Irish breakfast and the ManMosa. The sausage had that delicious thin casing that pops when you take a bite. Yummy!

We and friends had a very nice dinner with very good service. I would give 5 stars if the fries were better. Fries are how I judge a gastro pub and they should be above average and these were average.
They were out of 2 items on the menu, one was really wanted by one friend so boo on that. Plus one menu dessert was not available, not sold out just not available.
I will definitely return because the location is great, near the mall and easy parking.

5 Stars for the delicious food, service, and cool pub feel !
This restaurant/​pub/​bar is in a little strip mall and I think we would have passed right by it had it not been for Unilocal.It gets great reviews and I now know why. I had the ½ order of fish n chips and a Guinness. The fish n chips was 2 pieces of haddock (I think) and fries. There was malt vinegar on the table and I used a bunch. Salty, vinegary, fish and thick cut fries??? Yes please! Washing it down with a cold draft Guinness while watching rugby made me feel like I was no longer in the U.S. Loved the very private booths that the had, too. Nice décor which wasn’t overwhelmingly screaming «We’re a pub!!» And the service was attentive and spot on. This is my kinda place and 5 stars all day

Took the family out to dinner here last night. The atmosphere was great, the food and service was even better. The prices were very resonable as well. I would definitely recommend.

It is very hard for me to give 100% perfect to a restaurant. But EVERY time I dine at Pub 32… It’s amazing… Food is awesome, the service is awesome! Again I am amazed… Suzi their chef is nothing short of genius. And Suzann the waitress will treat you like family… If you want an amazing meal, visit Pub 32
The sea scallops will knock your socks off, with sausage bread pudding, and balsamic glaze… This dish should be illegal… It is really that good …
Go on Sunday, they have live Irish music…
I never give 5 stars unless you knock my socks off… This place has knocked my socks off every time…
Just an update… The fish and chips are so amazing, curry tarter sauce… Omg…

The food is pretty good, out of two visits I can’t say I’ve been wowed by any of it but it sure is better than most. They at least have most of the standard Irish beers and the service is excellent.

My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this pub on Father’s Day. We originally went to First Watch next door for brunch, but they had a long wait so, we walked over to Pub 32. The traditional Irish Pub atmosphere was very welcoming and our waitress was super friendly. The brunch menu looked delicious, but we both opted for the Steak & Poached Eggs special.
Both of our meals were so incredibly delicious! We completely cleaned our plates. The steak was grilled to a perfect and tender medium rare with a great flavor overall. The eggs were poached nicely and covered with a yummy hollandaise sauce. The dish also came with home fries, which were also cooked perfectly with the perfect slightly crunchy edges. Overall, this was by far the best Steak & Eggs brunch I’ve ever had. I will highly recommend this pub and I’ll definitely come back to try out the dinner menu as well.
Oh! Another bonus — after our meal, one of the cooks brought us a couple of their Blueberry Cream Cheese muffins. You could tell they were freshly baked that day — the real deal! The muffins were also awesome! Even though we were both full, we managed to make room for something so delicious. The muffins were free, which was just a super nice gesture to follow up a fantastic meal.

My first experience at Pub 32 was a disaster, but we’ve been back several Tuesdays for trivia night. The trivia master (emcee) is a lot of fun. Our waitresses have been very good. The food is much better than at oir first trip. One of my favorites is the chicken pot pie.
The lesson learned is that you can’t judge a restaurant based on a one night stand.

Fabulous Irish beers on draft. The happy hour is from 3 to 6pm daily, so for working folks, you either need to rush and pray for no traffic or wait until the weekend or holidays to try. The appetizers and drink selection for Happy Hour are $ 4 each. Great price, wish the happy hour would last until 6:30 so we could go during the week. The Guinness and onion soup is excellent. The sausage bangers are tasty and lightly breaded. The pub chips won our hearts. Perfectly thin and crispy, not oily, with a drizzle of balsamic and bleu cheese chucks.
Entrée selections are varied too. The pub burger looked impressive, we went with the baby back ribs which were excellent. The meat was falling off the bones and fork edible. The glaze was sweet and went perfectly with ribs. The pub environment was calm and then on Monday’s at 7pm, they have Whiskey tasting and the crowds of regulars knew it. A great spot where neighbors come to socialize and learn among friends. The bar was full in no time at all. Really a nice spot for a drink, a meal, and some Irish hospitality. Will be visiting again soon.
