The Field Bar--Dania Beach 08/14/2009
In just a 40 minute drive, you can be in Ireland. That’s right. Ireland. When you just want to toss back a few cold ones without having to deal with all the uppity nonsense of the South Beach nightlife, take a drive to the Field. This cozy shack in Dania will have you wondering if you’re in Broward or Donegal County. Built around a massive but gorgeous tree, this quaint spot sports real bar stools, benches, tables and floors. If you get a chance, don’t sit at the bar… take a seat on the elevated platform. There are some really neat barrels to sit on with a perfect view of the band. Best of all, dim-lighted chandeliers grace the ceiling providing just the right amount of light so you don’t spill your Guinness. But enough about the décor… Two red-headed sluts later (the drink) lol, and I was ready to try some of the menu’s highlights. If you’re going to have an appetizer, start with the sausage pastries--two golden and flaky puff pastries loaded with sausage on the inside… Some friends had the wings which were pretty tasty but be warned they carry a spicy kick! An order of coconut shrimp was placed, but my pregnant friend Mia would have to give it a rating… I would guess great since she and baby- to- be left no morsel behind… Hmmm…. The main dishes were to die for. Rave reviews for all the dishes we tried. The Prime Rib—a spectacular hit with the guys and the Gaelic Steak, a superb cut full of flavor. The prices were not too bad either… Each meal was about 20-22… an excellent price for such scrumptious meals. And who can forget about dessert? Not I! Seeing that our table was divided between chocolate fiends and vanillaholics, it was no surprise that two different sweets were ordered—the chocolate cake and the to-die-for—Whisky Crème Brule…mmmm. If only I didn’t have to share! CommentsLeave a Reply |
