Dubliner Pub   

The Dubliner Irish Pub provides a taste of the Emerald Isle, but not the Ireland of James Joyce, factory grit and overcast skies. It's Ireland if the country slid down to the Caribbean and had perennial sunshine. Floridian grub and a variety of music styles -- not just the Pogues and Flogging Molly -- pervade the Dubliner. On tap are the favorites -- Guinness and Harp, which are fresh and hearty (no dirty spouts here). Hungry? Try some stout wings, Southwestern Ireland Santa Fe rolls or Jamison-marinated chicken, that is, if you're up to your gills in authentically prepared fish 'n' chips or are tired of grazing on sumptuous Shephard's pies, both of which the Dubliner also offers. The restaurant's most decadent appetizer, Irish Nachos, serves up a giant mound of cheese and meat drenched waffle fries in lieu of tortilla chips. Frequented by 20s-to-30-somethings and Hyde Park locals, the indoor-outdoor bar/restaurant occupies a Cape Cod-style house with outdoor and indoor bars, darts and pool tables. The bartenders are talkative, not intrusive, and the servers are swift and efficient. Draught stouts and ales are moderately priced and shouldn't cost more green than any other UK-inspired establishment in Tampa.
