    What a fun, fun, fun, bar! When we arrived there were just finishing some sort of trivia game. Then later she was going around giving people bang bang shots. I haven't seen that since Jamaica or Mexico! VERY lively atmosphere and even a small pool! We spent a few hours here. A lot to watch! Fantastic music got people on the dance floor many times.

    I don't usually leave reviews, but Ashley absolutely deserves this one. From the moment we sat down, she made us feel welcomed, cared for, and genuinely appreciated. Her energy was warm, her timing was perfect, and she anticipated what we needed before we even asked. Ashley didn't just take our order--she created an experience. Friendly without being overbearing, fast without feeling rushed, and just overall amazing. You can tell she takes pride in what she does, and it shows. If you get a chance to sit in her section--do it. Ashley is hands-down the best server I've ever had.

    Michelle did a great job at making sure we were comfortable in our rooms and fully took care of us until we were checked out. The location is right by the beach on Ocean Drive and so close to many bars and restaurants. The hotel itself has nice frozen cocktails. Didn't get a chance to try the food but hope to be back soon.

    A vibrant bar/club with dancing vibes! Just ordered dynamite shrimp and French fries which were pretty good. The drinks were spot on and the ambiance was lit! The service was slow but not bad! There's a swimming pool inside it was closed when I visited but I believe it's open for public. The bar has seating around and there's plenty of space inside. We walked to Cleveland as our hotel was quite close and the beach is quite close from here too.

    From the moment you arrive, the vibrant energy sweeps you off your feet and sets the stage for an unforgettable experience. The food is great! Oh, and let's not forget about the drinks - they're not just well-made; they're downright delicious! The service is attentive, friendly, and kind. The fun party atmosphere here is contagious. The energy is electric, the laughter infectious, making every moment spent at the Clevelander an absolute blast. So, whether you're a seasoned foodie or just looking for a good time, make sure to swing by the Clevelander in Miami Beach. Trust me; it's more than just a restaurant; it's an experience you won't soon forget!

    What an amazing night at the Clevelander's glow party! I finally saw the iconic DJ OsoCity alongside one of my favorite local DJ's Marco Watts, what a fantastic duo, they should collaborate more! The Clevelander consistently attracts South Beach's best crowd, with excellent food and drinks. Those lemon pepper wings? A must-try--10/10 experience. Thank you!

    There are a ton of bars along the street of South Beach but if you're looking for that hot pink Miami vibe with cute girls then this might just be the spot. Clevelander kind of reminded me of day club in Vegas, except on a much much smaller scale and not as flashy. The cost of the drinks were definitely on the higher side but our bartender definitely made sure to put a lot of alcohol in there for me. We didn't stay too long because we wanted to keep exploring but it was a nice little outdoor bar to grab a drink at.

    We walked by this in ocean, pretty wild place, 3 bars, a pool, a DJ, TV's to watch football and friendly staff. The food was pretty good as well. At night, this place is usually full.

    I've been frequenting The Clevelander Bar and Grill for over 35 years! It used to be my starter bar before really going out in South Beach back in the 90's. Why? Well, for starters, it has a beach and ocean view. Being on Ocean Drive. Great ambience. It's always great for people watching. If you St out on the sidewalk of Ocean Drive. And it's indoor/outdoor with a great happy hour. A great food selection. And they almost always have a great DJ. It's good for lunch. Good for dinner. And good for some drinks and dancing with friends into the night. You definitely know you're in Miami Beach when you're at the Clevelander!

    Came on a Thursday around 11pm. Not many ppl compared to Saturday and Sunday. They have 3 bars and a DJ. Last call was at 12:30am even though it said open 24/7. We Got the kiwi bliss and south beach hurricane in the flamingo souvenir yard refill cup. They both tastes about the same but good. DJ played great music. And we danced at our table and you can smoke it there

    She served us very well with conviction to her job. Thank you!

    During our visit on Saturday, the bartender outside at the front bar was 100% on top of everyone and our needs, not kidding. Great employee and advocate for both customer and establishment. We returned Sunday evening and watched the two bartender's talk, yap and share stories while us customers waited and waited. We resorted to waving our hands and even whistling to grab their attention, and when they served us, it was poor service that lacked attention to our needs, as if we were interrupting them. Not joking! Here is a perfect photo capture of a quality employee who went the extra mile for us and others all afternoon. She was excellent. Praise her, please!

    Would give this zero stars for service, but here we are... We were really unhappy with this restaurant. It was my first time visiting. No complaints about the food or kitchen staff - honestly, the food was great, and that's important. I'm giving 1 star, and that's only for the Service. We were staying at the Clevelander Hotel, which offers a 15% discount at this restaurant. When we sat down, we specifically asked both the hostess and our server if the discount applied, and they both said "Yes, sure." Our server, Zulma, seemed either very unprofessional or maybe just new. Every time we asked her about something on the menu, she wasn't sure. I ordered a beer - she came back and said they were out of it. I ordered a different one, and again, she returned to say they didn't have that either. So I just said, bring me whatever beer you do have. No big deal at that point. When it was time to pay, we asked for the check. She brought us just the credit card slip - no itemized check. We asked for the itemized version and reminded her about the 15% discount. We had already noticed that the total charged to the card did not reflect any discount. She returned with the itemized check - still no discount. We asked again. This time she said she had to check with the manager. First, she asked us to show our hotel key or something that showed we were eligible. We showed her the hotel key. She came back rolling her eyes and smiling, and said the manager told her the discount only applies to the breakfast menu. Then came the next question: "Do you have a Florida Driver License or Miami ID? Then we can give you the discount." We were like - Really? We're visitors, staying at the hotel you partner with. Isn't that the whole point? At that point, we were frustrated - why didn't anyone mention that before we ordered? Meanwhile, during the 25-minute back-and-forth, my credit card was already charged without my signature or approval. How nice, right? Eventually, we gave up and left because we were tired of going back and forth, especially with her attitude. It was honestly ridiculous. And of course, they included a 20% service charge. For what service, exactly? Also worth noting: there's an automatic 20% gratuity charge added to every bill, regardless of the service provided. Our bill came to about $120 for two people - definitely not cheap. And to top it off, they still had a spot for an optional tip on the check. Hilarious. With hundreds of restaurants around, we made the wrong choice. It's not even about the 15% discount--we could've easily paid full price. It's about how they treated their guests. We won't be coming back, even though the food was genuinely good. Zero stars for service. Five stars for the food.

    How busy/ how is the night life at the hotel usually on Wednesdays? Looking to book for the May 24th-25th. Any pool happy hour or discounts for guests. Anything other than a pool/bar. Any events going on that night?

    Hello Joseph, It's usually not that busy, but since its the week of Memorial Day it might be… 

    Do you guys have happy hour?

    MONDAY | ALL DAY $20 Domestic Pitchers… 

    Do you guys have redzone on Sunday?

    Yes, we show all NFL games

    Do you have to be 21+ to enter the pool area?

    Hello Kayla, Yes we are 21+ and over.

    Is there a dress code?

    No. They also have a small pool area there in case you want to wear your swimsuit.

    How old do you have to be to enter at night? 18+?

    21 or older.

    Hi, is there a cover for Saturday lunch time? Not during spring break. I'm planning on going down in April. Thanks

    I doubt it but I would call and ask to be sure. Their mojitos are the besttttt!!!!!!!!!

    Is it free to enter and use the pool if you are not staying at the hotel? Looking to come on a Sunday!

    It is free to enter, I don't think you can use pool at all times there but definitely free to enter and there is always entertainment there like dancers and music. I'm not sure about using the pool thou. I don't think you can at just any time .

    Are you allowed to take your drink to go?

    Hello April, No you are not allowed to take your drink off property.

    Does One need to be staying at the hotel to join the party? Is there cost?

    You do not need to be a guest at the hotel to get into the outdoor club. There is a cover charge but I didn't pay it so I don't know how much it was. It wasn't much. Less than $20

    Anyone know what time they stop serving food?

    Hello Angie, Our kitchen closes at midnight.… 

    Can you bring a kid here during the day?

    You can, but I wouldn't suggest it. It's a party bar for adults, with women in skimpy outfits. If you're ok with that, go for it.

    Is a reservation needed or can we just come in?

    You can just come. It can get busy but there’s a lot of high top tables outside and there’s usually one free

    What kind of music is played?

    Think of club music-anything with a good beat that you can dance to....

    Is there indoor seating as well?

    No only seating for eating and drinking is outdoors. The inside is just the hotel lobby.

    Are you showing the GGG/Canelo fight? If so, are reservations needed?

    Yes we did show the fight. Please follow us on social media to stay up to date with all events.

    Does this hotel have HBO?? Gotta make sure to get my GoT next Sunday...

    Good grief dude.

    Do yu have to be at the bar for happy hour?

    During our Happy Hour, you are more than welcome to sit anywhere on property, not only at the bars.… 

    Is this place all ages?

    No, we are a 21+ establishment.

It was their trivia night, I believe there was a $1500 pot if you win. Everyone seemed to be playing. We arrived to late to join. The place was packed yet there were only two servers. Our server was running around like a chicken with her head cut off. However she managed to keep up with out party of 9. There were times we were waiting for assistance however we could see she wasn't just sitting on her ass. We order burgers, flat breads, tenders and steak tacos. Steak tacos were horrible Burgers were delicious Flatbread were good Tenders definitely looked like they were frozen tenders from the grocer. The beverages were nice not too strong but not weak. We were kinda profiled however as a black person you get use to it. My husband and brother stepped out for a smoke break..although everyone else was still seated at the table. We watched security run out after them. We laughed cause they looked stupid. When security ran out there they pretended to be looking at something when they noticed they guys were right outside the door. Irish pub we didn't expect any less. However it was kinds funny how the guy darted out after them then aimlessly looked around after he realized they were smoking a cigarette ‍

I realized that I had not actually been to this location since it was The Playwright (or whatever it was called) 4 or 5 years ago. The updated interior is nice - very "pubby" - and they offer a good variety of seating from bar seats to high-tops to couches. Two things here that were standouts: First, the burger is one of the best burgers I've had on South Beach. So much so that I'm craving it again this morning. They've done a good job with the menu in that it still has all those bar foods that you look for in a place like this, but they've put some thought into elevating a number of items (e.g. the short rib poutine!) Second, the service was great. Our server (sorry, can't remember his name - a nice guy from Kendall) was very friendly and provided excellent service. As many reviews mention, this is definitely a place to watch a game. While we weren't there for this purpose last night, the TV setup is great and I could def see myself camping out there with a few beers on a weekend afternoon. As someone who lives in the neighborhood, I'll be back again for sure.

    First and foremost, do not waste your time or money coming here…read more As a Miami native, I was genuinely disappointed by both the food and the level of service. Unfortunately, neither lived up to expectations. We started with the "jumbo" wings, which were anything but jumbo. We received only flats, and they were some of the smallest wings I've ever been served. After bringing this to the staff's attention, we were told the manager would take 50% off the order. However, when the bill arrived, we were informed that the manager had already left and the discount could no longer be honored. Instead, we were given only the $4 happy hour discount, despite being promised otherwise. For our entrées, we ordered the brisket sandwich and the half chicken. Neither was worth ordering. The chicken lacked the crispy texture it was advertised to have, and the brisket was bland and without flavor. The sandwich was also supposed to come with truffle fries, but instead we were served cold, plain fries. After mentioning it, the solution was to bring us a side of truffle oil and Parmesan cheese and ask us to mix it ourselves. The service was equally disappointing. We asked our server twice for drink refills, but she never brought them. We eventually had to flag down another server just to get our beverages refilled. Overall, this was a frustrating dining experience from start to finish. Between the poor-quality food, unfulfilled promises regarding the bill, and inattentive service, this restaurant fell well below the standard I would expect from a Miami establishment. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience deserves one. I sincerely hope management addresses these issues because the current level of food quality and customer service is simply unacceptable. and quality is embarrassing for miami.

    Great nostalgia and drinks but their gratuity practice is a serious problem…read more I stopped by Wet Willie's out of nostalgia during my most recent visit. Years ago I'd come here after the beach, sit on the balcony, people-watch, and cool off with a strong, frozen drink. In that sense, the place is exactly as I remember, with cold drinks on a hot Miami day and a fun atmosphere. Unfortunately, the billing experience completely changed how I felt about our visit. When the check arrived, I noticed the suggested tip percentages were unusual (around 7%, 8%, and 9%). I was planning to leave my normal 20% tip, but then the gentleman behind the bar explained that a 15% gratuity had already been added and the listed percentages would be additional. To be clear: I always tip, and I generally tip well. But adding a gratuity without authorization or clearly disclosing it up front is a big deal. A tip is supposed to be voluntary, and quietly including one, especially in a setting where you're already prompted to add more, feels misleading and wildly inappropriate. That part honestly overshadowed the visit for me. The drinks and the memories are still there, but check your bill carefully before paying. I enjoyed the nostalgia, yet this practice alone makes me hesitant to return. This practice of discretely tipping themselves is borderline theft.
