“Intimate and designed around the bar, the gathering water hole, where the staff are friendly and fun. Look out for Cricket.“

“good beer. beautiful view.“

“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“

“I've gone to many shows at this little joint. It's a raw place, it has character without trying too hard to. The Club is unkempt but extremely comfortable. The selection is adequate and you CAN SMOKE INSIDE. Old folks, young folks, all cool.“

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

“I love Brother’s Keeper, one of my favorite neighborhood bars in Miami Beach. The vibe is great, the crowd is awesome, and the staff is even better.
Amy was my bartender, and she was amazing. Super friendly, easy to talk to, always on top of everything and she has a great personality.
I’ll definitely keep coming back to Brother’s Keeper, and I’m hoping Amy’s behind the bar every time. Thanks Amy, you’re the best!“

“I’ve been a patron at the Deuce since I moved to Miami 5 years ago. I’m also a local bartender, you’ll find many of us there… Although I do love the Fernet machine, I love the staff even more! (Butch is my fav but this isn’t news to anyone lol). The staff at Mac’s Club Deuce make the bar. Love them or hate them, they each have their own amazing dynamic that you’ll get to see, as long as you treat them with the same respect you want to be treated with when you walk in their door. If one of them “was rude to you”, and you were salty enough to write a review about it, maybe take a minute to reflect.
Don’t forget,
CASH ONLY!“

“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!“

“Chili was great and the atmosphere was fun.“

“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.“

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

“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! 😃“
