It's perfect for hanging out with friends or starting/ending a night. The drinks were really well made and you can tell the bartenders know what they're doing. Everything was balanced, flavorful, and fun. We had the My English Is Not Very Good Looking which was like a yummy dessert, and the Elegant AF which was delish. A cool spot with great energy and solid cocktails. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the mood for a fun night out.

9 Feet Under is exactly what a speakeasy should be…read more From the outside, the building is completely unassuming, almost easy to miss. But that's part of the charm. Once you step inside, you're transported back to the Prohibition era with a moody atmosphere, intimate setting, and all the character you'd hope to find in a true speakeasy experience. The cocktails are unquestionably the star of the show. Thoughtfully crafted, well-balanced, and presented with attention to detail, each drink feels like part of the experience rather than just something to sip on. Add in a live DJ, great music, and an energetic crowd, and the result is a place with incredible vibes from start to finish. Whether you're looking for a unique date night, a nightcap, or a spot to impress friends from out of town, 9 Feet Under delivers. Joe, at the door, was very welcoming. Fabricio, the mixologist, was a true craftsman. We'll definitely be back.

It was really disappointing and distasteful to see this post…read more I'm one of the regulars at karaoke night at 9 Feet Under, and I can honestly say karaoke has always been about bringing people together. My own birthday was celebrated there on karaoke night, and it was one of the most amazing and unforgettable nights. We also celebrated my niece's graduation on karaoke night, and it was another incredible evening filled with friends, family, laughter, and great memories. Seeing an employee post something so negative about an event that so many of us genuinely enjoy is disappointing. From the outside looking in, it seems like there's been a big shift in whoever is running these events. I recently attended both karaoke night and ladies' night, and the atmosphere was completely different from what many of us have come to love. FYI, karaoke night *brings people together*. I can't think of a single time we've gone and not had a great night. That's why this post doesn't reflect what 9 Feet Under has always represented to so many of us. If you work there and karaoke night is that terrible *for you*, maybe it's worth asking yourself why that is. Or perhaps this isn't the right environment for you. But please don't portray an event that has created so many positive memories for so many people as something negative, because that's simply not the experience the rest of us have had. Now you've lost customers!!

Azucar has recently gone through yet another transition, with primary host/MC Marytrini departing…read moreafter a few years here, and taking with her many of the same staff that have seemingly followed her to every club and establishment she's been involved with. We've come here a few times in recent weeks and the place is running nearly the same as it always has for at least a few decades, through changes in drag hosts, management and even changes to this venue's name over those years. We tend to come just before showtime so there's normally always a cover (worth it for the entertainment patrons get to see), friendly bartenders and a drag show featuring talented performers, with at least one normally interacting with patrons and doing comedy during a break in the performances, before opening up the floor for dancing once the show is complete. Azucar isn't located near much of anything else when it comes to nightlife, it's a bit divey - definitely nothing fancy or glamorous, and it's probably not worth the drive from the beach just to check it out, as at least one other reviewer mentioned. Also, all shows and entertainment, aside from lyrics to a few songs here and there are in Spanish with no English translation, so if you don't speak Spanish or have someone who can interpret at least some of the funniest bits that get the most laughs, you may not fully understand what's happening or may feel a bit left out. That said, if you're just looking for a solid drag show or appreciate Latin nightlife, this is definitely an option.

Ironically, we happened to pass by on our way to dinner, and when I asked the bouncer, he told us kids were allowed--so in we went. While you can definitely hear the music, it's not overly loud and you can still have a comfortable conversation. The drinks were incredible, exactly what you'd expect from a Top 50 bar in the world. Watching the bartenders in action was a performance in itself, and my kids were completely amazed. We only stopped in for drinks, and since we were with kids, we were seated at the tables rather than the bar, which was totally fine. In the back, there's a speakeasy-style area that was dimly lit and lined with books, creating a really cool, intimate atmosphere. Overall, we loved the experience and will definitely be back.

My wife and I have been food & drink hopping around the Brickell district during our vacation and…read morecouldn't find a proper place that served a "mmm that tastes damn good" cocktail. I won't name names but one establishment was well spoken of through Yelp and such but the overall vibe there was colder than a freezer. I randomly found Presidente while looking on Apple Maps and it was featured in one of the 'best of' articles. Wynwood district isn't new to us and we enjoyed the area the last time we were there. From the moment we got dropped off, something was giving off amazing vibes. Not to wave anyone off but our server Juan (?) C (Carlos?) was incredibly awesome and attentive. We also had such a pleasure to Christian who I believe is the bar director of the bespoke program they uphold there. I can't (nor my wife) recall what she ordered but I kicked things off with the Mexpresso Martini and then took Christian's rec of the Un Ultimo Beso. Recall what I mentioned at the beginning? MMM THOSE TASTE DAMN GOOD Food is off the walls too! Thank you all @ Presidente!

The food was solid, everything we ordered tasted fresh and well made. The drinks were good too, not watered down like some places. Service was friendly and pretty quick, which I appreciated. Angelica was our server and she did a great job. attentive, nice, and made sure we had everything we needed without hovering. It's a good spot if you want somewhere relaxed but still a little nicer for a night out. I'd go back.

Dining at Social 27 was a nice experience. Our visit for lunch was during the Calle Ocho Music…read moreFestival. Thankfully Social 27 was open as my boyfriend isn't such a fan of street food. (Note that other businesses like Ball and Chain were unexpectedly closed) The food is pretty spectacular. We enjoyed the crisp Croquetas and the Roja Vieja with our drinks. Pretty darn delish! Social 27's environ is fun and joyful but be prepared for a busy dining room/patio. By busy I mean loud. Lol. But a must visit especially for the bevvies.

I did lots of research before deciding on Social 27 and I found this place has a fantastic…read morereputation. So I was a little surprised when I arrived around 7:00 and there were literally no other diners! But it turned out to be terrific: the food, drinks, setting, and the personalized service I got from my waitress was outstanding. The hospitable vibe made me feel special, like I belonged, as opposed to self-conscious or on display in the empty room. She did assure me that it fills up frequently, and two or three other parties did come in towards the end of my visit around 8:30. Maybe people just tend to eat later around here. I started off with a Hemingway daiquiri, one of my standards these days. Fresh-squeezed lime juice, a decent rum, pronounced cherry flavor, and a nice sugar-rimmed glass. Not too sweet and very strong. Enough so that two would have been irresponsible as a driver. My second and last drink, Portlandia pinot noir, was above average for a house wine, a good size and under the going rate for wine glasses. I noticed Fever Tree sodas at the bar. That's an excellent brand and I don't see them often. Speaking of the bar, it was nothing too fancy but I loved the the white monkey figures swinging from the vines overhead, illuminated by the changing colored lights. Salsa music playing quietly. There was a bartender who I didn't interact with, somehow keeping busy the whole time. I wonder what he was doing with nobody else to serve drinks to? Taking my time before describing the food because I took my time too, studying the menu and taking in the scene. I started with Serrano Ham and Manchego Croquetas: 4 croquettes, browned and firm on the outside and soft, hammy and cheesy inside, sprinkled with cheese on top and aioli underneath. Couldn't be better. Entree was Salmon A La Plancha: the grilled, seasoned fish served on top of a large pool of the aji amarillo sauce. A different sauce, sweet and brown drizzled sparingly on top, a very charred half lime for squeezing on extra flavor. Jasmine rice on the side and a small salad with great greens, a sweet dressing, and pickled onions. The salmon maybe just lightly overcooked? A trivial complaint! Fantastic. Totally unexpectedly, as if it wasn't already special enough, at this point another plate arrived: an appetizer of tostones and a very generous quantity of guacamole, limey and cilantro-laden. Free of course. Well I was pretty full at this point but I thanked her sincerely, tried some - it was excellent - and took most of it home for the next day. Then it was on to dessert. A Cafe Con Leche flan with Kahlua sauce and meringue. Nicely chilled, brûléed, smooth consistency, and toasted meringue that actually tasted good, not like the usual that I just scrape off and discard. Complete with caramel popcorn, salty and sweet, fruit and mint garnish. Equally important as the taste, it was a beautiful presentation. I finished with a flawless espresso. Truly a perfect dining experience, no exaggeration.

Can't recall ever reviewing staff and patrons, but ya kinda have to in the case of Kaona. That's…read morebecause the guests here are almost as engaged in the operation as the staff. Guess the insight here is Kaona draws folks who so totally want to be there and participate in the nightly celebrations that it becomes contagious, spreading from table to table with smiles, laughter, and cameras. Oh yeah, and did I mention the cocktails? I feel the term 'artisan' is so overused nowadays that I avoid using it, so can we just go with the Bill & Ted description that Kaona's tiki drinks are "Most Excellent!" Will non Gen-Xers get that last reference???

What an amazing evening! Two of my favorite things: A speakeasy, and a tiki bar. So a tikeasy!…read moreSure, it took a couple of tries, and maybe asking the wait staff at the Irish bar next door, where the tikeasy was hiding. You enter an immersive world that really outshines any tiki bar to which I've ever been. The magic radiates out of every nook and cranny. That was complimented by our bartender, Billy, knocking out some perfect killer classics, like a real Mai Tai, and Navy Grog, that, post the 1950s became kind of sugar filled, over-the-top mockeries of the Tiki cocktail arts. No mockery here. Just the old school magic. It's a very analog, and thankfully honest, unhipster revival for a generation who knows not of Bali Hai, Don the Beachcomber, the Mai Kai, and San Francisco's once-great, now seedy Tonga Room & Hurricane Bar, at the Fairmont Hotel, on Nob Hill. The crowd, including the regulars, were a lot of fun. In all, a really awesome evening! Five stars, for all of that, and a sixth for the memories.
