“ Pizza was delicious! Not thin crust and not thick crust. Food came out a little slow, but our waitress checked on us frequently. Has a bar side and a family dining side. Dogs welcome! Fairly priced. Open late. ”
“ Look no further if you want a “local” spot on 30a. Excellent food and service and local prices. Great Irish bar! Give it a try. Slainte’ ”
“ Great “dive bar” with great atmosphere and amazing food. Easy parking and great staff make this place a great spot for most any occasion. Actually, McTighe’s is one of our favorite spots to eat here in town. Definitely check out the cheesesteak, an absolute must order if you’re there. ”
“ My Dad and I were regulars at the first incarnation of this pub in Atlanta, it was sort-of a mellow mushroom but had its own personality. Always an amazing place to get dinner, we started getting pizza and wings there weekly when I was a little kid in elementary school! We were disappointed when Jac moved in 2008, but recently found it reborn here on the FL coast with the same amazing food and comfortable atmosphere! This place fits like an old pair of your favorite jeans. The Steelers country decor, the dobermans, the 90s Atlanta memorabilia, it feels right at home. Wings are HUGE and the pizza tastes the same as 20 years ago. Top notch! ”
“ Been coming here for 5 years. Easily my favorite dive bar in town. Seen several changes in staff and always been treated above expectations. Between Sarah, Nate and numerous previous bartenders they’ve always taken excellent care of me which I appreciate as a local and regular. Food is always superb coming later at night to eat after working. Mid 20’s and getting ID’d by new bartenders is great I love to see new staff doing a diligent and thorough job! I believe Lessie, anna, and Frankie are new and provide excellent service. So happy to see my favorite spot staying consistent despite new faces and nothing more I could ask for. Will be back many times over!!!!! ”
“ Love this place! This is one of the only TRUE taverns on 30A. Lots of locals. Good food, nice people, darts, and sports on TV. They serve up a good Guinness too! ”
“ Johnny McTighes is a real hidden gem on 30A. It's discrete location had me skeptical, but the food is exceptional. Firstly, I can say they have the best Lobster Bisque I've ever had, which is funny since it doesn't quite fit the cuisine profile of an Irish Pub. The bisque is balanced with creaminess, perfect blend of spices, and morsels of tender lobster throughout THE WHOLE BOWL. I've had smaller bowls of more expensive bisque in steakhouse and fine seafood restaurants, but I would go out of my way to have this every time. Furthermore, we tried the reuben and the Philly cheesesteak. Reuben was hearty and had all the staples of the traditional Irish delicacy. Juicy, tender, and rich. Highly recommended. The Philly was also great and rivals what you might find in a dedicated cheesesteak shop. Tater tots were crispy and the beer-battered onion rings were also sweet and served with a sweet, creamy bbq sauce. The only drawback is that, while they have a dining room, the bar gets the most attention. Our server was very sweet and we were understanding of the wait as she navigated bringing food out to both the bar and the dining room. Overall, my advice is to not sleep on this place. Perhaps try it out for lunch or an early dinner if you don't want to wait too long. No matter what though, I guarantee it is worth the wait. ”
“ What a fantastic first experience! The exceptional pizza and outstanding service really stood out, and the pretty curly-headed bartender Lessie truly impressed with a perfectly crafted skinny spicy jalapeno margarita made with fresh lime juice, tequila, and jalapenos, no canned mix, and remarkably remembered the recipe all night, a notable achievement in this area. I am admittedly a drink snob so this deserved a review posted. All the stars I can give definitely recommend! ”
