This week Short Order's Archive Diver brings you a June, 1988 ad for the Irish House Pub at 1430 Alton Road on Miami Beach.
For a pub established in 1938 that operated at least 50 years much doesn't exist in the way of google records. However, Sunpost June 8, 2006 archives report in a blurb entitled Feeding Frenzy that "The Quarterdeck Seafood Bar and Neighborhood Grill, founded in 1966, recently opened its first Miami-Dade County location on South Beach.

"The Irish House Pub in Miami Beach (a cool place several blocks away
from the glitz of SoBe), used to have a bumper pool table as late as a
year ago, but it was gone the last time I went. That's a game I'd like
to see come back."
Finally here are ads that appeared in the same column as the one for the Irish House Pub on that same fateful week in 1988.
