    This is a solid 5 star experience, through and through. The food, the service, the drinks, the entertainment, the atmosphere, the decor... Showed up at 6pm and we were so enthralled that we continued to order food and drinks in order to stay for the live music (live music with dinner begins closer to 8pm). Brought our kids who also loved every moment! Food is fantastic and the drinks are super strong. We felt like we were long term customers based on how we were treated - seriously felt like old friends the entire night. We will be back next week when more family comes into town!

    We had such a great experience at Calle Dragones! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted and seated right away, which always sets the tone for the night. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated-such a fun, vibrant atmosphere. Our waiter, Marlon, truly made the experience exceptional. He was attentive, accommodating, and made sure everything came out perfectly. We ordered a variety of dishes including the octopus, dumplings, burrata, ceviche, short ribs, branzino, arroz con pollo, and a few sides and every single dish was delicious. You can really tell there's care put into both the flavors and presentation. The band was super entertaining and added so much energy to the night it really made the whole experience feel special for my birthday. Highly recommend especially if you get Marlon as your waiter. We absolutely loved him and will definitely be back!

    Came here after being told no seating available at La cafe trova just down the block. So glad I decided to give this a try. The seating is beautiful. The staff is super friendly and helpful in giving you food recs. The food was good and I would return when in the area again. The drinks were great! The live music was wonderful and elevated the dining experience. We went on a Friday night.

    Calle Dragones is a hidden gem that brings the vibrant spirit of Cuba and Latin America right into the heart of Miami. From the moment you walk in, you're transported by the lively decor and authentic atmosphere that perfectly sets the tone for a fun and flavorful experience. The menu offers a fantastic range of dishes with a Cuban twist, and everything we tried was bursting with flavor. The ropa vieja was tender and juicy, with a depth of flavor that made it clear this dish was made with care. We also enjoyed the ceviche, which was fresh and tangy, perfectly balancing citrus and spice. The cocktails were outstanding--creative, refreshing, and served with flair. We tried the mojito and a rum-based cocktail with tropical fruit, both of which complemented the food wonderfully.

    Ambience!!

    What an experience Calle de Dragones has been! The minute you pass through its doors you're transported back to 50's cuban glamour. The wait staff is unbelievable. The menu is spectacular and the chef delivers! I had the ropa Vieja risotto and my husband the arros con pollo. Outstanding. I highly recommend Calle de Dragones for those that enjoy time traveling!!

    Truly a hidden gem on the quieter side of Calle Ocho. With limited street parking and live performances later in the evening, this is definitely a first stop of the night kind of place for me. They have happy hour from 5pm-7:30pm, and on the weekend we went, we were the only party there for the majority of that time frame. I almost don't want to share the secret of Calle Dragones, but I want them to stick around. Their indoor space is decorated like a theater, with sculptures and velvet seating in the main dining room. Their outdoor space, when the weather is nice, have a few bar tops and a smoking area. During HH, their delicious and beautiful cocktails are $8-10. The bartenders are friendly, and let us see all the fun glassware before we picked our drinks. Some are creative, some are classic, some are downright dangerous because they're so well-made, and we stayed one round longer than we had planned because we loved the live music that started around 7pm. The food...is another story. Come with high expectations for drinks, and low expectations for food. Of the bites we ordered, 3 out of the 5 we chose were unavailable. The pork belly and maduros were 3 rangoon shaped dumplings that weren't satisfying, and the chicken croquetas were better but a little greasy in a way that didn't match the cocktails we were enjoying. All in all, I enjoyed this spot for a drink or three, but make plans to dine elsewhere.

    my friends and I stumbled upon this place when the restaurant we were going to was closed for a private event. It was a pleasant surprise. It is uniquely designed, and you can tell that time has gone into it. The staff was super friendly, very attentive from the start. We sat at the bar which had a nice vibe and good music. The food was very tasty and delicious and Asian Cuban fusion style menu. It does cater to larger groups and it's fine for small parties. It is a little bit pricey, but that can be expected as little Havana is quite touristic.

    We came on a Friday afternoon. Super cool spot with an exotic decor and great Cuban music. Even though we arrived at 5:15pm, they sat us in the large, empty, main seating area. We of course were there for happy hour, but they don't offer happy hour in the restaurant area, only the bar. There was such a difference in prices that we got up and went to the bar area. Drinks and bar bites were very good, especially the lychee martini! Would not come for dinner with such high prices, but the happy hour is totally worth it.

    My husband and I recently came here for pre-dinner drinks and apps on a date night. It was 5:30 p.m. on a Saturday and the place was absolutely empty - but I'm sure it picks up in the evening! We sat at the bar and got a few drinks and tried the ahi tuna (small portion, good happy hour price, and good flavor). The service was fine - we were told they didn't have the tuna, order a different appetizer, and then the tuna came out anyways. We will definitely come back to try a full dinner service.

    The food was delicious! This restaurant is in downtown 8th street and portrays a Cuban/Asian fusion within their dishes. The vibes were spectacular. We came on a Sunday evening and surprisingly it wasn't packed. The service was great since it wasn't too busy we were assisted right away to our table. We made a reservation and didn't have to wait. The server allowed me to pick our table. I ordered the 3 course meal and there were a couple of different choices to chose from. As an appetizer I had the chicken croquettes which were soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. You can tell they made them fresh because they were nice and warm. As an entree I had the Asian inspired shrimp which was on a bed of rice noodles and veggies. I enjoyed it, I wish there were a bit more of the rice noodles though. My friend enjoyed the octopus that was drenched in a puréed yuca, this was extremely yummy. The presentation of each dish was beautiful. We ordered a few drinks; I had a couple espresso martinis which were good. The Celsius mojito was amazing, I ordered it with the mango, passionfruit Celsius. It really gives it a nice wist on the original mojito. The server provided a round of shots for my friends birthday that were complimentary, they tasted like mini piña coladas. The crema de catalana was good but was more of a rice pudding consistency, not what I was expecting but still good. Also 20% gratuity was already included, our server was really great so he deserved it. Overall we had a great time at Calle Dragones, would come back. PS there is a lot across the street where you can park or street parking as well.

    Came to celebrate a friend's birthday, stayed and enjoyed delish food & craft cocktails. The black bean risotto & vaca frita was flavorful and plentiful! Great ambience, and the nostalgia Cuba decor adds to the supperclub vibes.

    Crispy Gyoza

    A block away from Café La Trova, this is now a new favorite in Calle Ocho. I was excited for the Miami Spice menu and didn't know I'd like the joint as much as I did. Very Latin and tropical vibes when you walk in and the bar at the entrance is gorgeous. I went on a Sunday night and though they do live music from Thursday to Sunday, this night is slower than most and I was ok with it. I do have to come back for the Havana nights on Fridays which is supposed to be a heck of a show and live entertainment. Tonight was a piano player and a lovely lady singing Cuban and Latin classics. Service is top tier from both the waitstaff and the bartenders so that's a plus. Now as far as the food and drinks, let me break it down for ya... ELEGGUA: tequila patron silver with chile liquor and a lemon, passion fruit and peach foam. I wasn't a fan of it and for $20 that sucked for me and I think maybe that foam didn't work for me. Also it was lacking a good punch so I'd never go for it again although as far as the cocktail itself it has great presentation. OLD FASHIONED: this was way better, not because my go to has always been an old fashioned but because it was perfectly mixed/crafted and served with a unique touch of class if you look at the picture below. CRISPY GYOZA: stuffed grilled eggplant and mushrooms these are not your traditional pork, shrimp or chicken dumplings but just as delicious if not more. Maybe it's that Asian black garlic aioli and orange agria ponzu. Not exactly sure what that crispy thing on top was but I wasn't mad about it. DUCK CONFIT FRIED RICE: this has got to be one of the most delicious fried rice dishes I've ever tasted. Crispy duck meat on perfectly cooked jasmine rice, fried egg on top and crispy string potatoes I believe. It looked small at first but it was very filling. Not like any other fried rice I've tasted at a Chinese joint but different in the best way. CHOCOLATE SZECHUAN: I was bummed out they didn't have the crema catalana and the waitress said this was my only other option. It was supposed to be a chocolate tres leches with a side of chocolate ice cream. I wasn't a fan of this because it was too much chocolate for me personally. Even the cookie crumble was chocolate so I guess if chocolate is "life"for you, this is probably a good choice. I had the pleasure of conversing with Imaray, the manager onsite and she was the most courteous and delightful manager I've interacted with lately. Like I mentioned before I have to come back for dinner and a show on a Friday night and try a few other delicious items in this menu. Also there's plenty of street parking in the area.

    Calle Dragones offers a unique dinner and show experience that's worth trying. The fact that they have different themes every night adds to its allure. I recommend visiting on Wednesday or Friday nights when they host "Havana Nights" themed events with live performances every half an hour. The atmosphere during these nights is truly indescribable, and it's an experience you'll want to witness firsthand. The ambience and restaurant decor gives off Scarface vibes, so unique and different. It does not feel like you are even a Miami. Now, let's talk about the food. For appetizer we got the seafood dumpling and the vegetable gyozas and the maripositas de lechon, one was not better than the other , they were so so so tasty and delicious. For my meal i had the duck fried rice, and it was so delicious that I didn't want to finish it, just so I could savor the leftovers the next day. Although I was not crazy about the dessert options, the food is well worth going and Ofcourse without having to mention not the great entertainment making it a memorable destination for a night out in Miami.

    At what time does the show start on Saturday night?

    It may vary because we did go for Miami spice but it was around 830. It was around an hour and the bar does a little dance show also.

    Is it family friendly or a night club?

    I would say it's family-friendly. But please call the restaurant before. Sometimes there are different dancers.

    Is there valet parking?

    You can park across the street in the parking lot for $20 or you can street parking along eighth Street with a meter. You can also park in the back streets for free In designated spaces.

I drank delicious mojitos all night and even with a packed venue the drinks came out extremely fast! Although the restaurant was packed, our waitress remained extremely kind and attentive throughout the night. To me, the food was just good. We had the Jamón Serrano Croquetas to start. They were a little cold for my taste and not the best I've ever had but they weren't bad. My husband really loved his skirt steak ropa vieja and didn't leave a single grain of rice. I opted for the rabo encendido pasta. I like that they weren't skimpy on the rabo. The downside of this place is that to maximize space, you're packed in like sardines. The tables are basically on top of each other. A larger sized person would not fit getting in and out of their seat and my husband was constantly backing up into the people seated behind him. Overall, this is a place you definitely visit for the atmosphere above food. I will 100% be coming back for drinks, appetizers and more live music. It is an incredible spot especially for those looking for Cuban nostalgia.

I thought for a moment, paid the cover, and walked in. The music was pretty good. The place was not full, this was probably some underground event. I got a cocktail to try, it was pretty good but cocktails and punk don't match, so I switched to cheap bear when I was done. It's a cool venue, close to me, and the staff was very friendly. I had a good time.

    The Kitchen Club was an iconic goth club in the South Beach Hotel in 1988. They played new wave,…read morepost punk, alternative, and industrial music by bands like Nine Inch Nails, Ministry, The Cure, Depeche Mode, and Sisters of Mercy. I used to go to the club in my college years. After the hotel was sold, the club moved to the Rocky Horror venue in Coconut Grove. In 1999 after that closed too, the club became a roaming pop up at different South Florida venues. Which is how I came to be at Bar Nancy in Little Havana on a Saturday night. They host a monthly Kitchen Club night. Almost everything was closed in Little Havana by the time I arrived so it was surprisingly easy to find metered street parking only two blocks away. Bar Nancy did not have a cover charge which was nice. The bar is decorated like a pirate ship with many nautical touches. It is named for the brigantine Nancy, which transported war supplies during the American Revolution. The room the bar is located in was small, dark, hot, and crowded. Many people enjoyed themselves on the dance floor in front of the DJ. They also have a backyard area that was popular. My favorite room was the one between the two. It was decorated like the Captains quarters with a couch and comfortable chairs. I could still enjoy the music and more importantly, the air conditioning. During the night I had a delicious Amaretto Sour. Despite the dive bar surroundings, it was a hefty $15. While that is expensive for a cocktail, it was a small price to pay to relive my youth for one evening.

    I FINALLY made it to Rosa Sky. It's such cute bar. Views were superb. The drinks were great, but…read morewhat surprised me was the food. Happy hour is so worth it if you can catch it. We LOVED the buffalo chicken empanadas. So much we ordered it twice. My issue in Miami is that the drinks really lack liquor, so they taste like juice. Not here! I felt the drinks were well balanced between flavor and liquor on the night I went. I had the Mexican Kiss and Rose Petal. The music was great and they were about to have fire dancers , but I missed those. I hate I can't remember our waitress's name, but she was so cute, bubbly, and great. She offered great recommendations and got us a seat near the edge.

The Mule is a standout, and the White Cloud (gin, sake, lime, and yuzu foam) was lovely. For food, the buffalo chicken empanadas were tasty. I'd skip the pork bao buns, as the meat was overcooked, but our server easily swapped them for the hamachi crudo, which was fantastic. ​Service was very pleasant, and the music set a great vibe at the perfect volume. Overall, it is a great rooftop spot that I would recommend.

I usually don't love dancing unless I'm truly having a blast ~ but between the amazing energy of the team, the incredible dancers, and the overall vibe, I couldn't help myself. It was impossible not to dance! My friends and I received wonderful service, and the food was absolutely delicious. My seabass was so yummy, and some of the highlights of the night were the Truffle Tuna Tartine, Lobster Roll, Spicy Tartare de Saumon, and Mezze Prince ~ every single dish was outstanding. And my drink, the Summer Layla, was SO good! I love Mediterranean food and Arabic culture, so this place was the perfect combination for me. What truly blew my mind, though, was the music ~ huge kudos to the DJ! He played a very popular Russian song and we loved it!! And when bottle service comes out (whether champagne, tequila, or anything else), the entire team dances around the table. It's so fun, so electric, and honestly something you have to experience for yourself. I really needed a night like this due to stress at work, and Habibi delivered exactly that ~ pure joy, energy, and unforgettable memories. I can't wait to come back!
