“If you’re looking for a true Miami nightlife experience, Las Rosas Miami is the spot you don’t want to miss. This iconic bar perfectly blends a laid-back vibe with the raw energy of live music, making every night feel special.

The live stage is a standout—hosting rock, punk, and alternative bands that bring serious energy and keep the crowd fully engaged. And when the bands take a break, the jukebox keeps the vibe alive with classic tracks that everyone can enjoy.

Another huge plus is the outdoor patio, perfect for stepping out, relaxing, and still soaking in the atmosphere with friends. It adds that extra layer of comfort that makes you want to stay even longer.

Drinks are solid and well-priced, the crowd is diverse and welcoming, and the overall vibe is effortlessly cool. But what really makes it shine is the authenticity—you can truly feel the soul of Miami’s underground music scene in every corner.

If you’re into great music, good drinks, and unforgettable nights, Las Rosas Miami is a must. 🎸🔥“

“Good and not good. Went on a Saturday at opening time but waited until 2:30 before getting in. Some problem with the ice machine. Okay, no problem. Had a good two hours of quiet darts with a friend. Good dart games and decent bar darts. Planned to return the next day with another friend. Confirmed with the bartender and yes, they open at 2 PM. Well, arrived at 2 PM on Sunday and waited, and waited until 2:55 PM. Still not open although there were lights and a tv on inside. Nobody answered the phone or the door so we left and went to a billards hall instead.“

“nice laid back chill atmosphere, Ill be there after work tonight“

“Karaoke with Bernie. Enough said 🤘😈🤘. Cash only bar but great. You may catch a famous person or two here.“

“This is definitely a dive bar. If that is your scene then this is the place for you. I ordered a crispy chicken sandwich and boy was it crispy. I had to send the first one back as it tasted burnt. My husband had the sloppy Jose sandwich which he too did not care for. The fish tanks were cool to look at.“

“Tucked away on South Beach, just a block from the ocean, Mac’s Club Deuce isn’t trying to impress you—and that’s exactly why it does. This legendary dive bar feels like a time capsule in the middle of Miami’s flashiest neighborhood, where neon lights, a worn-in wooden bar, and a jukebox set the tone instead of bottle service and velvet ropes.“

“This place was really cool and close to where I was staying. They do not serve food so my food rating was for the drinks lol. The bartender, whose name I cannot remember, was great. It's not Eileen but want to say that's close. Sorry. (I'm sure it'll come to me after I post this LOL). She made a great Paloma and was awesome with communication on how I liked it. The atmosphere was dive bar-ish. There was a pool table in the back. The seating looked like mainly bar seats. The bathrooms looked old but clean. I would definitely go here again when in the area.“

“The staff rocks! The hospitality shown for our annual RED DRESS RUN was greatly appreciated! Keep up the awesome work and we will definitely be back next year! 😃“

“Great food, excellent service!“

“Great customer service, The Conch fritters and oyster samplers are incredible. Please you have to try this if your In Miami.“

“I discovered this place by chance as an Italian tourist. I have to say it's very nice both in terms of looks and the people are very kind. If you see Alex, say hello to him.“

“Chili was great and the atmosphere was fun.“

“Great place been coming for years. Even better on their full moon nights. Best Taco Tuesday spot in the area.“

“A GREAT INSTITUTION!!! This has been the last stop for our RED DRESS RUN for decades, and they never disappoint! The best dive bar in South Beach with great food, pool tables to keep you entertained, and an upstairs to relax. We love this place and will keep coming back! 😃“
