The entertainment
Fiddler’s Green advertises live entertainment seven days a week and posts a new lineup each month on its entertainment page. Check the official calendar before you go, since the pub notes that entertainment can change without notice. If you want the schedule sent to you, the pub emails its monthly entertainment updates to anyone who writes to fiddspub@gmail.com.
What’s pouring
It’s a full liquor bar with a deep Irish whiskey list, from Bushmills and Powers to Redbreast 21 and Midleton Very Rare, plus rotating taps. Fiddler’s runs happy hour Monday through Friday from 4 to 7 p.m., $5 martinis all day on Monday and $5 margaritas all day on Tuesday.
What’s on the plate
The kitchen leans traditional. There’s fish and chips made with three beer-battered Atlantic cod filets ($22.95), Hen in a Pot under a pastry crust ($18.95), Irish sausage rolls in puff pastry ($12.95), Wexford Wings ($12.50 for six) and loaded potato wedges ($12.50). Burgers run $15 to $19.50. After the full kitchen closes, a limited late-night menu keeps food coming.
The pub
Fiddler’s bills itself as the most highly awarded Irish pub in Central Florida, and it has the trappings of a regulars’ bar, including its own dart league. It also books private events.

Why We’re Hyped
The appeal is range. You get a full Irish kitchen until 11 p.m. (midnight on weekends), a late-night menu after that, a bar open until 2 a.m. and live entertainment on the calendar, from a pub that’s been on Fairbanks for 30 years.
