I feel that three stars for a dive bar is the same as five stars for a white glove restaurant! You don't get anything too fancy, but you have a fun time! This was one of the venuesI stopped by last night after celebrating the Yelpies. Tucked away off Grand Avenue in the Grove, this institution serves only wine& beer but no liquor. However, on Thursday night after 11pm, they do have karaoke! Hialeah's version of El Fin de Semana showed up to sing his ode to late night love calls "The Hills Have Eyes". Sample lyric: I only call you when it's 5:30, the only time I call you mine." both from my friends and other patrons, it looks like they have a pretty big musical catalog. As far as beverages, I did enjoy a glass or two of Merlot both for social lubrication and as a prop in my singing. read more

Super cool bar vibes here with super friendly staff! They have a large food and beer selection. We ordered some wings and a couple of beers to watch some football on Sunday. They also have a pool table for those who like to play. Sam our bartender was the sweetest and we will definitely come back! Highly recommend to anyone! ^.^ read more

If you're looking for a rowdy, divey bar in a city full of upscale clubs and restaurants - Barracuda is the place for us! They have quick service, a huge selection of drinks on tap (to include cider!), and just a lowkey vibe. It can pick up quite a bit when the college students are in town - or when karaoke is blasting, but just a fun, reliable spot! read more

What a great hole in wall in the heart of Coconut Grove, nestled in a pedestrian only street. 52 taps and great seafood menu. Order at the bar. The rustic nautical interior is very different than lively exterior with the cute awnings featuring "barracuda teeth" , pink picnic tables & thatch umbrellas. read more

Nice dive bar that is a lot more clean than it appears to be from the outside looking in. Seems like a lot of locals go here which is the best advertisement one can have. There was a guy performing; Jimmy, and he was really good. The service was nice, Lauren made recommendations that we went with. Tonight was $1 wing Wednesdays where you could order 6 or 12. The buffalo wings were interesting; some were cooked perfectly and some were overcooked or very thin. The spicy barbecue was plump and seemed more fresh. The snapper sandwich was good; a lot more bread to fish ratio and the same could be said about the shrimp po boy. That fell short as it was popcorn shrimp that were clearly frozen so it took away from the description. Fries and onion rings were over fried but otherwise flavorful. Service was nice. Ambiance was pleasantly surprising. Vibes were good. Be sure to check them out and enjoy! read more

Great selection of taps. Had the blackened MahiMahi with red beans and rice. My compliments to the chef! Paper plates and plastic utensils are what it is served on. Who cares when the food is that good! Cool place with a dive bar vibe. Definitely be back! read more

Best local grove spot. No BS, just great cold beer selections, good bites, and amazing staff.

This was our saving grace after a bad experience at a near bar. First off, great service and staff. From the front of the house to the back. Great conversation with my bartender and then the cook. Fresh fries!!! Crispy wings that were smothered in buffalo sauce... fish dip was delicious! The star of the show was the corn nuggets. I have to admit I'm allergic to corn, but when I saw this on the menu... it was a must. No joke... super sweet corn, moist and crisp. Highly addictive. Played some classic rock on the jukebox and enjoyed a cold beer. It was delicious. The staff, the food, the ambiance. Moral of this whole story: if you're in the grove, stop here. Get a beer and try the corn nuggets. Play some tunes, make some friends. Great draft collection. Enjoy! read more

I cannot review the food as I did not eat here, but they're not really vegetarian friendly. We came to have a couple beers outside. They have a solid beer selection with over 50 different taps. They have great craft beers. I usually can't find many sours when I go out, but I had a choice of more than three. It's definitely a divey/college bar, but the fact that the road is closed and you can hang out outside with no worries is great. There's nice shade and a nice breeze. I'll totally go back. read more

Unacceptable Service and Discrimination Experienced at Barracuda Taphouse from the staff person name Chris and the security guy (unfortunately, I don't know his name). I am writing to express my profound dissatisfaction with the service my friend and I received at your establishment in Coconut Grove, Miami, on January 26, 2024 at 11 pm. Our experience was not only unpleasant but also deeply troubling due to the behavior of your staff. Upon deciding to order a beer pitcher, we were taken a back by the bartender's approach. He rudely questioned our ability to afford it, which was embarrassing and entirely inappropriate. Such behavior is unacceptable in any customer service setting. The situation worsened when we discovered a hair inside and outside the jug. Expecting a basic level of hygiene, we brought this to the attention of the staff, hoping for a simple replacement. Astonishingly, our complaint was met with outright denial and disrespect. The bartender dismissed our concern, refused to replace the pitcher, and insulted that we were lying by discarding the evidence. Further, the involvement of the bouncer, who supported the bartender's decision and asked us to leave, added to our distress. Not only was this a clear neglect of customer service, but it also felt like a case of racial discrimination, making us feel targeted and unwelcome. Such treatment is not only a violation of hospitality standards but also raises health concerns, as foreign objects in food and drink pose a risk to customers. The refusal to acknowledge and rectify a genuine complaint reflects poorly on your establishment. We expected a pleasant night at Barracuda Taphouse but instead left feeling disrespected and discriminated against. I urge you to address this issue promptly to ensure no other customers experience such unacceptable service. NEVER EVER RECOMMEND ANYONE TO THIS PLACE!! This is my first time worst experience ever. I want my refund back and an apology from the staff person name Chris and that security guy! read more

Barracuda Taphouse & Grill - P - Bars Near Me - Coconut Grove, Florida

I found this place while looking for a chill place to get some seafood and beers. We walked in and sat at the bar instead of taking up a whole table for just 2. The service was okay. Our server/bartender was a short blonde lady who seemed like she was just there. No smile but no bad attitude towards us. It did seem like a lot of people that came up to the counter to get service she was slightly rude to. Not us though, not sure why. We ordered some fresh fish dishes and some beers and hung out while the Friday night crowd bustled around us. This was a hopping place for sure. We got our food and it was fresh, seasoned well and delicious. I would totally go back there again and try more dishes. I opted for the grilled mahi mahi and my husband got the blackened snapper sandwich. We both loved our meals and it was exactly what we were looking for. No frills, just good seafood. Might be back when visiting Miami again. read more

A Coconut Grove staple... Know by locals as "Cuda's", his place has been around for years. It's one of the Groves favorite watering wholes and has amazing bar food. The newly added outside picnic tables brings in a new look and added space for Barracudas. Don't for get to order inside at the bar. They have limited seating inside, but have room for some beer pong. Barracudas chefs offer weekly specials and some of the best offerings. I highly recommend the "The Best Snapper Sandwich You've Ever Had", this sandwich is a Blackened snapper, jerk, mesquite or grilled served on our homemade garlic bread. My new favorite is the "Buffalo Chicken Sandwich" this breaded hot buffalo chicken tenderloins covered in melted mozzarella on our garlic bread, served with a side of blue cheese dressing. As for sides waffle fries, onion rings, and even there salad is on point. Don't forget a cold beer for one of there many selections, definitely ask the bartenders for a good recommendation. read more

So I was in the are and decided to walk in and grab a beer. It's a small place yet very cool, relaxed vibe. The crowd was nice. The outside area has picnic tables so you can have a beer and watch people walk by. They have a pool table inside and an area where u can play beer pong. They have a huge selection of beers. The only thing was that the bathroom was dirty. I would definitely recommend this little bar to anyone who wants to have a good time and grab some beers. read more

No longer dog-friendly. If you go, go during the day when there's no door guy. Good beer selection and fair prices but some of the staff are simply rude. read more

A true Coconut Grove staple, it first opened in 1995. It's on Fuller St, it's closed to vehicle traffic so you can't miss the pink benches right on the street. The food is ok, they have a good selection of typical bar food. They have a pool table inside, plenty of draft beers, music, and a good vibe. From trivia night to karaoke, this dive is a gem. read more

I have never been to the physical location. I have always ordered on UberEats. My FAVORITE dish is the grilled mahi mahi. It's served with rice and beans and pita bread. The fish is seasoned well. The rice and beans are DELICIOUS. Def a hit with the hubby and the kids. It's actually all I order from there! The chicken fingers and fries are definitely a go to for kids and adults. Their breading is phenomenal. Very crispy and they have a nice taste. The food is always fresh and delicious. I highly recommend it. read more

A Coconut Grove mainstay that is a whole vibe and then some. Come for a round of flip cup or beer pong, to catch a game or just to hang out with friends. Their beer selection is vast, and I absolutely love how many sour options they have (recently tried a watermelon gose that I really enjoyed). Haven't had the pleasure of trying the food (yet) , but there's both indoor and outdoor seating so it's super convenient to grab a bite. This spot is right on Fuller (a pedestrian street), so you can take a leisurely stroll before or after or hit up a couple of other bars in the area. Service here is always friendly, and parking can be found on nearby streets or the CocoWalk Garage on Grand. read more

Can't believe I've never been to "THE CUDA"?!?! All these years living in Miami and it's the first time I visit....and with my 2 year old twins! Lol I ordered a good old Blue moon! I love the seating area outside. The flower puffers hanging, the pink tables and seats. It's very chill, which I like but I just wish they have some waiters/waitresses to get your order outside especially when you're going alone with 2 year old twins. It made it very uncomfortable wheeling in double stroller inside to order and pay that's why I didn't order much. It was too challenging to handle when I can't leave my twins outside unsupervised. I definitely need to come back without the kids or with another adult to assist. read more

I have been in this place 2 times the first time they got my food undercooked didn't do anything about it and I ate and left this time it was overcooked I decided not to eat it and give it back and ask for a refund she threw the plate infront of me in the garbage never apologized about the mistake. Very bad service, zero professionalism and the person that makes the food hve zero experience how to cook don't usually leave bad reviews like that but this place deserves it read more

Main bouncer here is an absolute cunt. He kicked me out because I was in crutches and a girl told Me I could use the women's bathroom and he didn't like it. The least professional local bar in Miami without a doubt. read more

I paid for music to play on the touch tunes and they skipped all of the songs I paid to play. This place sucks and they'll steal your money

Came here with some friends recently for a night out and it was a good time! They have tables outside and a few things to do inside like a pool table, beer pong tables, and even karaoke. I wanted to go to a traditional bar and this felt like that. I didn't get to try the food or anything but there's some nearby spots walking distance if you don't feel like having bar food. read more

A newly discovered hole in the wall. This dive bar has been around for quite some time and I finally decided to try it out. The servers/bartenders were both so friendly and nice. I tried their Burger, Conch Fritters, Wings and Nachos. The Burger was so thick and juicy, their Wings (garlic and buffalo flavored) were my favorite part of the meal. The nachos were good but not as great as the other dishes. read more

In A Nutshell: -Barracuda is where UM (University of Miami) students & locals enjoy hanging out to enjoy some suds & great Florida food. -If you love blackened Mahi Mahi, calamari, waffle fries, garlic bread & conch fritters, then you need to stop in here immediately. -You can sit inside or on the pink tables outside. -It's self-serve, so make sure you go inside to order. Overall, this is a very good place for the typical Florida seafood meal. read more

Barracuda Taphouse & Grill - Outside tables - Bars Near Me - Coconut Grove, Florida

I love the Cuda. It has been a beloved dive bar in the Grove since 1995. And while I have spent oh so many blurry nights at Cuda's playing beer pong before the pandemic hit and it was ok to be close to people indoors, I have discovered a newfound love for this dive bar during the pandemic. Why? They have closed Fuller street to traffic and added picnic tables socially distant up and down for folks to enjoy. It is so brilliant and I love everything about it. I can honestly say that I am here at least once a week. They have a great selection of craft beer in both draft and cans. They've got your non-fancy domestics and white claws, too. So truly something for everyone here. Don't know what you like? Ask - they're down to help you find something you are sure to enjoy. The other surprising thing is that the food at Cuda's is excellent. I love the fries, the wings, the fish sandwich - you name it, and it's probably going to hit the spot after crushing a few ice cold beers. I really gotta give it to the team here, you have pivoted to offer a sense of socially distant community in the Grove and it is so freaking great! Now that you can be inside again they have added plastic separations between booths in case you want to hang and play pool or watch some sports inside (there are TVS outside too tho). Also - they recently renovated the bathroom and it is hands down the nicest bathroom in coconut grove. I said what I said. Well done guys, keep the beers coming! read more

Perfect spot to grab some food and a pint. My family and I found this place when spending a short time in Miami. The bartender was wonderful to us. We all had a great time watching the STL cardinals play against the Marlins and enjoying delicious pub food and pints. The atmosphere is a fun and the decor is perfect. That snapper sandwich was spectacular. I wish this joint was in my neighborhood back home. Will be back next time I'm in Miami. read more
