Irish Pub in Destin, Florida

One of the first places Marcus and I checked out when we first got to Destin, Florida was McGuire's Irish Pub right on the beach. We were shocked when we walked inside and realized that the dollar bills on the walls in the front entry covered ALL of the walls, pillars, railings, and the entire ceiling.

When we asked the waitress why they do that, she said the owner stapled their first dollar after they opened, and it just kind of snowballed from there! Apparently they have over $ 1 million pinned up everywhere.

My favorite perk of living and traveling in an RV full-time is the ability to go to awesome new places like this 🤩

... Read moreStepping into McGuire's Irish Pub in Destin, FL, was an absolute revelation! I’d heard whispers of its unique decor, but nothing prepared me for the sheer spectacle of over a million dollar bills stapled to every surface – the walls, the ceiling, even the pillars! It’s not just a restaurant; it’s an experience, a living piece of history that makes you wonder about every person who's left their mark. This incredible tradition began simply with the owner stapling the first dollar, and it organically grew into the mesmerizing display you see today. Beyond the captivating ambiance, what truly makes McGuire's a standout among bars and restaurants near me in Destin is its authentic Irish fare. I was so excited to dive into their menu, which boasts hearty dishes that truly transport you. If you're looking for Irish food near you, their Shepherd's Pie is an absolute must-try – rich, savory, and comforting, it’s everything a good Shepherd's Pie should be. Another highlight for me was their famous Beer Cheese Burger. Juicy and packed with flavor, it’s a modern twist on pub grub that you won't want to miss. They truly have something for everyone, whether you're craving classic Irish dishes or something a bit more familiar with a unique McGuire's flair. The atmosphere at McGuire's Irish Pub is always buzzing. It’s a fantastic spot for a lively evening, whether you’re looking for a casual bar experience or a full meal. While I didn't catch any live music on my visit, it's known to be a place where good times and entertainment flow as freely as the drinks. For anyone wondering what to do in Destin, adding McGuire's to your itinerary is a given. It's not just about the food or the drinks; it’s about soaking in a truly unique environment and creating unforgettable memories. Plus, after a long day of RV life and exploring, there’s nothing better than a welcoming pub to unwind in. I highly recommend checking out McGuire's Irish Pub of Destin – you won’t be disappointed by this local gem!
