Description

Although other Irish bars may stay slightly truer to the Irish Pub image -- Waxy O'Connor's and the Field spring immediately to mind -- Maguires still retains a huge helping of mementos and scenery from the Auld Sod. With a whopping seven "Best Of" awards under its belt, this cozy, neighborhood Irish bar is truly a place for all occasions, be it a raucous Saint Patrick's Day party, an afterwork drinking session, or dinner with the fam. Traditional fare like bangers 'n' mash and lamb stew mingles with sandwiches, salads, and some very large burgers. Drinks are poured strong by a staff that knows just how you like 'em, and a two-for-one happy hour includes free bites of food.

2011 | Best Restaurant Renovation

Whether you enter stone sober or three sheets to the wind, walking into Maguires Hill 16 is never a regrettable decision. Over the past three years, the bar has upgraded from a typical dark, Irish pub to an airier, more atmospheric space. The back of the restaurant has been converted into a sleek, intimate bar area that is ideal for small cocktail parties. The new outdoor sports bar is complete with two large flat-screens and plenty of seating. Menu items have also recently been added. The... More »
2010 | Best Neighborhood Bar

For those who have a well-built neighborhood bar, the world is simpler. Take this man: It's Friday night, and he's exiting his job at the Corporate Center. We won't shoot you with his troubles -- hell, he's not even thinking of them -- because he's only minutes from his neighborhood bar. That bar for him is Maguire's Hill 16. He can already taste the pint of Guinness. On a more stressed day, it might be a car bomb to shoot and a whiskey to sip. This cozy Irish bar keeps a stock of... More »
2009 | Best Bartender

Finding the right bartender is like meeting a soulmate: Once it's happened, you'll never stray. If you've been fortunate enough to stumble into (or out of) Maguire's Hill 16 during Trixie's (birth name: Tricia Cline) shifts, you already know this. More charming than a Shirley Temple and wiser than a desert shaman, this red-haired libation mixer adds a dash of positive energy to every drink she serves. When prodded, she'll explain that her cheerful demeanor stems, in part, from her other... More »
2008 | Best Poured Guinness

A pint of Guinness should be a little shorter and a little thicker than your forearm. If you're in England, it should be a little cooler than room temperature. In America it should be much colder, but still a little warmer than the other beers at the table. The beer should not appear creamy -- the foam and the brew should be cleanly separated, with the foam forming a neat little corona, a little over an inch thick, at the very top of the glass. It is acceptable if some of this stuff... More »
2002 | Best Place to Blacken Your Lungs

For everyone who is shaving years off his life while satisfying that oral fixation, this place is a utopia among bars. It's very smoker-friendly, having only recently reduced the smoking section to a long row of comfortable booths against one side of the restaurant and bar; the government made them do it. As for the machine in the back of the room, two things separate it from the mundane cigarette-vending gizmo. First, a pack of darts costs $4. And, while that's a bit more expensive than... More »
2001 | Best Happy Hour

If you're driven to drink as soon as you punch out, chances are it's not because you're dying for loud Top 40 drivel and preternaturally perky service. You want to get down to business after a day of conducting business. That's why New Times staff members have long been fixtures at Maguires -- where dark wood paneling and photographs depicting the old country lend a genuine, drinking-as-art atmosphere that could not exist at a yuppie watering hole or tourist trap. Bartenders and waitresses... More »
2000 | Best Place to Get Hammered and Read Yeats

We think Maguire's is the best place to souse oneself and absorb the Irish bard's musings on beauty and love because (a) it's a bar -- the booze is already there, and (b) it's a bar with three Yeats verses framed on the walls of the south room, a handy touch if you've forgotten your own copy of his collected works. "Never give all the heart, for love/Will hardly seem worth thinking of…/For everything that's lovely is/But a brief, dreamy delight." So go ahead. Keep the Harp lagers... More »

Nontraditional Irish Music Meets Traditional Irish Pub

By Alex Rendon | Thu, May 17, 2012

Deerfield Beach quintet Uproot Hootenanny is a band that pushes the definition of folk music to extremes. It must be particularly dauntless or ever-so-slightly screwy (or a combination of both) to attempt to slide from a traditional Irish folk tun... More »

Plenty of bars in South Florida want to lay claim to being "authentically Irish." Charlie has been in and out of these places, some of them blaring Top 40 music and flashing lights, others covered i... More »

A pint of Guinness should be a little shorter and a little thicker than your forearm. If you're in England, it should be a little cooler than room temperature. In America it should be much colder, but still a little warmer than the other beers at the table. The beer should not appear creamy � the foam and the brew should be cleanly separated, with the foam forming a neat little corona, a little over an inch thick, at the very top of the glass. It is acceptable if some of this stuff should ooze over the glass's edge and soak your napkin. This is a sign of bounty, and it should be appreciated. In our experience, nobody can pour a Guinness as quickly, consistently, and perfectly as the fine folks at Maguire's.
