Party Earth Review: Easily distinguished by its Kelly-green door, Fiddler’s Elbow is an authentic Irish pub with a friendly clientele and an unbeatable atmosphere for sports enthusiasts – and with a variety of rooms and seating areas, the pub offers patrons diverse environments to match any mood. A patio provides a stunning view of the magnificent Santa Maria Novella Basilica, but the Florentine influence stops there – because inside, Fiddler’s Elbow is all Irish. Vintage drinking paraphernalia and Irish witticisms decorate the walls, while dark wood furnishings and arched brick ceilings create rustically cozy spaces for chatty groups and mingling singles. The pub attracts a pleasantly varied international crowd with many English speakers, and is particularly popular with sports fanatics. The three TVs are constantly tuned to rugby or football, and the crowd can get quite rowdy during big games. Overall, though, Fiddler’s Elbow attracts a laid-back and welcoming clientele and creates an atmosphere perfect for a low-key evening of watching sports and shooting pool.
