"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.
