It's an excellent neighborhood spot, especially if you're looking for a great place to watch games, thanks to its great atmosphere and multiple screens. My experience was very positive; the drink I ordered was great, and the black bean burger was delicious. The bar was friendly that makes you feel at home, and the service is welcoming, making it a highly recommended choice for a relaxed night out with good food and a perfect view of the action.

Was in town for the Manchester United Liverpool game. Atmosphere was out of this world amazing. We showed up late, so there wasn’t any seating, but the bartenders and servers were extremely nice to accommodate us. The food was really good too. Got the burger, wife got the wings. Would 12/10 recommend.

The Brightside.

Definitely the type of bar, restaurant, and energy this community needs. I mean, come on, it’s in the effing name. This place is dope. The energy from this team is unreal. They make you feel like family, the kind that accepts and loves you even when you’re a bit of a degenerate. That’s just what they do here.

The food, the bites, the Guinness flowing, the picklebacks dropping, chefs kiss. They throw dope events too: trivia, spontaneous Karaoke, sports, hockey, football… even the Bills. Yeah, I know. I know. But I’ll let it slide. The passion they bring to everything makes you almost jealous of being a Bills fan. Almost...😑

This isn’t just a neighborhood spot, it’s a community hub. That team brings so much life to this place, and you can tell how much they care. You can feel it in every bite that rolls out and every drop they pour. And it shows.

Do yourself a favor, pull up, show some love, and don’t you dare leave anything less than five stars.

Oh, and get that Beef on Weck. Let’s go. 🔥

Absolutely fantastic neighborhood bar. From the moment I walked in I was welcomed by the staff and the local customers. It has a real community feel. The food was delicious and far above typical bar food. Every bartender and server I encountered seemed like they were actually enjoying their job. Great drinks and a great spot to stop in if you are around Coral Gables, Coconut Grove or really anywhere in Miami. Will come back every time I visit Miami!

It pains me to write this review because I was genuinely excited to find a little taste of home here in Miami, where I now live with my husband. We can handle a bit of good-natured heckling — I’m a Bills fan and he’s a Dolphins fan — but this goes beyond that.

Let’s not forget: this is a bar in Miami, where MIAMI locals support their bar year-round and keep the lights on for them, not just during football season. Last year, they had no issue showing Dolphins games. This year, it’s suddenly a problem?

We were really looking forward to watching the Bills vs. Dolphins game together last Thursday, but after seeing their Instagram post saying Dolphins fans would be capped at ten and turned away beyond that AND NOT BE ABLE TO SIT AT A TABLE OR BAR, only stand in the back??? — we were shocked. It felt exclusionary and frankly rude. We planned on ordering food but if we’re standing that’s uncomfortable and hard to do in a packed bar.

It’s a shame, because we loved the food and atmosphere, but we won’t be returning. No one should feel unwelcome just for supporting a different team.

Great place for a hang with good food, good drinks, and great service! Not my first time here, and each time the server is so friendly and attentive. Shout out to Arcenis!!
