My first visit to Duffy's came as part of a birthday celebration for my cousin. We were a pretty big group but that did not deter the staff from providing us with excellent service. The birthday girl's dinner was on the house and they really went out of their way to make her feel as special as she is. We ordered plenty of beer and appetizers like chiken wings and mozzerella sticks. I ordered the bacon burger with homemade chips that had parmesan cheese sprinkled over them. Overall, the food was delicious, the service was excellent, the price was just right and we all had a fantastic time so I think another visit is in order. My biggest and only complaint is that they are cash only. That's right...NO CREDIT CARDS accepted. This can obviously be a hassle for those of us who do not regularly carry cash but despite this minor annoyance, Duffy's is still a winner in my book and I would definitely recommend for others to give it a go sometime. read more

First time to this establishment and it was, overall, a good experience. The ambiance is laid back, relax, and comfortable. It's a sports bar without the outrageous noise you find at similar places. The beer selection was serviceable and the service was attentive if not overly chatty (which I have an affinity for). Anyway, the gripe I have is the food. The NY strip I had was way too salty for my taste. No amount of A1 helped. My wife's fried clams were over cooked, which I thought impossible to happen, until tonight. In the end, me and my party had fun, the service was good, and I won't mind trying the place one more time on the food. read more

Great family environment and friendly staff. I have been going there for over 30 years and hopefully a lot more ...

It's a Miami Locals bar! Great history, nice environment and really really great drinks. The food is hearty. Every night there's a dinner special, but bring cash...no credit cards accepted here. Haven't been to bad event here. And if they have clam chowder...order it! You won't regret it. Love it. read more

Duffy's Tavern - Every Saint Patties!! - Bars Near Me - Miami, Florida

I'm a fan. A traditional locals sports pub. Old school interior: wood booths, big bar, friendly service - totally unpretentious on the outskirts of Coral Gables but close to the University and The Biltmore. Very "Cheers-like". Lots of TVs for sports. Kristen Brian having had a hamburger one day which was part to char grill for my taste, and then absolutely dreadful chicken salad the following day - I'm not a big fan of the food, but I'll go back for beers and sports. Cash only. read more

So... hole in the wall type of place that we visited to celebrate the Marine Corps Birthday. They were definitely pro military which was fun to see. Food prices and beer prices were great but do not order liquor... unbeknownst to us the liquor prices were insane! Our lunch hill quadrupled by 3 of us ordering a double cocktail (which was not strong by the way). The food was yummy and the service was nice and quick. Everyone who worked there was extremely friendly and they even brought my kids a snickers ice cream bar. They accommodated our low carb requests without a problem. I'll definitely go again.. but will still clear of the bar! read more

If you're considering going here, go to 7 seas next door. Details below: I went here with a bunch of veterans looking to do an event and pre-pay a tab to have drinks and food served as part of a charity event around a Miami football game. I had been in the bar several times before, brought many friends and colleagues, and had always been polite and courteous with the staff. However, on this day I swore while making a joke, and the bartender/owner called my attention to a posted no-swearing sign. I apologized profusely for not knowing about the policy, and the owner proceeded to very sternly lecture me in front of six other members of the organization about respect (while I was still apologizing). It was embarrassing to the other members of the group to the point that they considered cancelling the event (it was our first event of the year, and this occurred two days prior to the event). I immediately paid all of the tabs (over $100) for our group and left a generous tip at the bar while the same person continued to glare at us. We ended up moving to 7 seas next door where they hosted us for the game on short notice, gave us fresh barbecue food (for free), and gave us a private section for our party. If you're choosing a cash-only bar, go where they appreciate your business. That isn't Duffy's. read more

Truly one of the nicest neighborhood bars I've been to. Every single server said hello and was friendly, the manager made small-talk with us, and they have photos of my aunt (a long-time patron) on their wall. Everyone here is just so genuine. On top of that, the wine is very good, and I recommend their Buffalo bites and New England clam chowder. read more

Awesome place come here regularly and the food is amazing! The soups are real good The stakes are also good Burgers And Amazing cheese cake read more

This place's food quality sucks. The waitress was rude and inattentive. And cash only? They should announce that everywhere, not just in small letters on the door. Won't be back or ever recommend. read more

I have been getting burgers from Duffy's for many years. It's my go to burger place until today. I called and asked for two burgers (one well done and the other one medium well). Instead I received a raw, uncooked burger and a medium rare one. This is disgusting. I won't be returning. read more

Neither I, nor the rest of my party took it out on your staff. We paid for flat warm beer and we paid the the forced tip. Your Tavern should call Bar Rescue, maybe it could be saved by that show. read more

I was at this place yesterday (7-27-22) at 5:30 pm with my girls (Two 10-year-old). The food was ok, but nothing especial. The service and atmosphere were awful. The staff made us feel super uncomfortable. They were acting super weird and creepy. The whole situation felt wrong. I will NEVER be back. Female only young families, this is not the place for you. Plus, the cash only policy with a $2.00 Duffy's ATM charge at the end of the horrible experience was just infuriating. The owner seems involved in these reviews. It might be a good idea to have your employees train about creating a gender-bias free restaurant environment. read more

This place used to be so good, what happened? Food was terrible, obviously frozen and heated up in microwave. Smoked fish dip was tuna fish with relish. read more

I've come here a handful of times for lunch on Saturdays and really enjoy it. The food is good, the service is on point and the prices are great. They only accept cash but have an ATM on site. The decor is also pretty nice to look at! I always get the sliders or the cheeseburger when I come and the dishes are always consistent in quality. read more

Oh my. The fried food is over cooked and my food was toasted! Cash only is a pain for us. Chicken wings were just ok. Not much atmosphere for a sports bars and TVs are small. Outdoor patio tv selections are not good. Will not return. read more

I've been coming to Duffy's for quite a while. Food is great and beer is cold. They have the best onion rings and the best corned beef sandwiches. Service is great and the owner is a great guy! I highly recommend it! Tony, Ret MDPD read more

ambiance was cool but they don't take card in 2023 couldn't eat there cause i didn't have cash and had no card for their atm. just a big inconvenience read more

Duffy's has some of the best prices in town. PBR and Bud Light are almost always on special for $3 a beer. I recommend any of the fresh fish specials. I had an incredible whole fried snapper for $13 (was told the owner's son caught it fresh that week). Inside looks like a lot of other sports bars: lots of pictures and memorabilia, beer bottles, and TVs everywhere. Outside has a covered patio and TVs as well. There is live music outside occasionally. Jeff and Jimmy are great bartenders! CASH only, but even the ATM has a reasonable fee here. Free street parking. read more

Back 10 years ago, this place had one of the best burgers in town. Now, they have a lot more competition and while they're still ok, the quality of everything else on the menu is subpar. The wings, jalapeño poppers and boneless wings are all poor quality frozen stuff. The fries are also frozen and again lack quality. Their salsa is might as well be the one on the chip aisle. The place looks great and added the outside patio, should be packed especially on a happy hour Friday but the food is lacking so much it probably explains why it's empty. Servers are great only wish food matched everything else... read more

Can't find my review so writing it again. I went on Mother's Day with my two kids. Ordered the Ruben. It was dead. Hardly anyone there and sandwich was so soggy thought of sending it back and asking "what's the rush?" besides that I've never felt more unwelcome. The server was not kind. On Mother's Day. With my 2 kids. We were polite and never complained. And he got the order wrong. It was beyond upsetting that they couldn't at least just be nice. That's all I was looking for. Even if the food sucked. Just drive a little further for flannigans in the grove. They're always nice and food is great. read more

In the words of Randy Moss: "Straight cash homie!" And you know what? That's fine with me. I'll make it rain and hail (depending on the amount of coins my bill requires) any day as long as I get my 2 for 1 beers and Stimulus Mondays figh dolla burgers! If a food or drink item here could be paid the same as a 'dancer'...let's just say there's no way you're getting into the champagne room since everything at Duffy's is so inexpensive. So go to Duffy's and you'll at least be assured a tasty meal. I'm not sure how I went from a family friendly restaurant/bar to strippers, but yeah. Duffy's. read more

The only reason I go to Duffy's is because it is REALLY close to my current house. I think it used to have a better feel 2-3+ years ago. The last time I went was about a week ago, the waiters were terrible. Example: My waiter was chatting with another waiter by the booth in front of me. I gestured that I was ready to order he looked at me and motioned. About three minutes passed by and I gesture again. Another three minutes later and nothing. I had to say something in a louder than usual manner for him to snap out of it. It was like this the whole night. As for the food, it's decent bar food. I like the fried clams but the portions as SO small that the container sometimes looks bare. You can see the bottom of the container. The burgers are pretty good but nothing out of this world. I like the fries but they are sometimes too seasoned. I always forget that this place is CASH ONLY. They do have an ATM, but it's just a hassle. In general I've had an okay time at Duffy's, but if it wasn't because it was really close by I honestly wouldn't consider it. The last time I went I really disliked the service, which led to my 2-star rating, otherwise it would be a 3-star. read more

I was looking for a place to eat with a friend on Halloween and didn't want to get stuck in Miracle Mile traffic. I had tried the Duffy's in the Grove, had a great experience and thought this would be the same. The greeting as we walked in was quite uncomfortable as the only other patrons were a few older men sitting at the bar and they all stared at us like we were entering the men's bathroom. Maybe we walked into a boy's club meeting? Our server was very friendly and attentive which is why I gave 2 stars instead of 1. My friend and I weren't starving, so we figured we'd share a cheeseburger. What a letdown... the patty was the size of a fast food burger and the cheese wasn't even melted. We considered leaving to eat at a different restaurant. But in the spirit of not doubling on calories in one meal, we finished our tiny burger and asked for the check. Good thing my friend was carrying cash (I never do) because this location doesn't accept credit cards. What century are we in?? read more

I've come here a couple of times with my dad and it's the same experience. It is a local sport bar so a lot of people know about it. The food is always good not great in my opinion. read more

My only qualm about this place is it's a HUGE CANE hangout- and I am a GATOR ;) that being said, long before I made the decision to go orange and blue, i too, cheered along the U in Miami's own personal "Cheers" bar. No bullshit, no fluffiness. No Ladies Night. No problem. Burgers- delicious, off the grill- perfect in the basket with the crispy, salty fries, and the warm, fluffy bun. it is REAL burger. Huge- perfect compliment to the beer- frosty,frothy beer- which is always on special. Try the Blueberry Ale- at least once! and the ketchup! I dont know what they do to the ketchup-but it has a very distinctive taste, love smothering my fries in it ( and Im normally more of "puddle of ketchup on the side" type of gal) The chicken wings ( or drumettes) are also delicious- they hardly ever last whenever we order them before the burgers to hold us over- piping hot, seasoned, and meaty. The owner always makes it a point to say hello, and the service is friendly- definitely a spot that is known and loved by true Miamians! read more

you know how sometimes you go to a place with high expectations and when you get there its just blah?? well this was it for me. I have so much to say idk where to begin..it was small, VERY small. The table was crooked, the server and about 60% of the staff just "chistik and poopers" (cheese sticks and jalapeno poppers) if you get what I mean..and thank baby Jesus I ate prior to going because if the rest of the food is as bad as the salsa that came with the chips I prob would have walked out... Highlight of the night- the server kept my mug full of yummy stella...and that...was that. I am a firm believer of second chances...so maybe a yr from now I will dare to go there again. WORD OF CAUTION: CASH ONLY!--- yes...seriously. read more

My favorite meals are the fish dip, bacon cheeseburger, turkey club, and buffalo bites. Wayne always makes you feel like you are right at home. It is a great atmosphere. We have been coming here for years and will continue to do so because of the great service and delicious food. There is no place like Duffy's anywhere in Miami. read more

I swear I had not been to Duffy's Tavern in over 15 years and when I walked in the place it looks like it has not changed much at all. They still have great hamburgers and the fish dip was pretty good also, the portion was small and it only came with crackers. They have over 20 beers on tap, but no bottled beer. They have liquor, not a large selection, but just fine for a tavern. Lots of TVs to catch games on and it seems to be a kid friendly place. I look off one star for the bartenders who were not very friendly and the fact that they only take cash. They do have a ATM which you can get get money from at a price, so they must get a cut of that also. This is the 21st century though so Duffy's please get into modern life! read more

Duffy's Tavern - Bars Near Me - Miami, Florida

Manomanomanoman I love this place. It's a dingy little craphole, to be sure, but I love dingy little crapholes. Just grubby food served cheap. And good. What I remember most is the happy way they served me a steak the way I wanted it with NO concern for my health. Salt and pepper only, 15 seconds a side on the grill. Like beef gum. And lots of draft beer from rarely-cleaned lines to wash it down. And you have to watch a good 'Canes game there. OK, so it's New Years and I am feeling nostalgic, but I really miss this place. read more

Duffy's has been here for eons. I always drive by but have never stopped. My friends got me to go on a Monday for the $5 burger. I was hooked. Really nice place. It has lots of character, there are some may decorations, every time I go I see something new. They have a beer can and bottle collection up around the entire restaurant. Must be hundreds of them. They have a bunch of TV's all around playing sport and shows. As I mentioned on Monday's you can have any burger on the menu for $5, yes 5 bucks. Even with cheese if you want. The also have a great buffalo boneless wings appetizer with a great blue cheese. I'm not a fan of blue cheese, but this one is so good you can almost have it alone. I tell my friends you can almost drink it. It nice and chunky. Last but not least. They have a beer special. $2 pints or $8 pitchers. It usually two different beers and it changes. Oh one more thing, this place is CASH only. They have an ATM on site. read more

This place is close enough to my house that I can walk to it. For that reason alone, I'm a big fan. Duffy's is a perfect little watering hole if you're looking to have a drink with friends (or alone), grab a simple bite to eat. It's good for watching the games as they have several tv's around the bar, and even a few larger flat screens. They have a full liquor bar in addition to numerous beers on tap and in bottles. If you are a Guinness fan like me...don't worry -- they have Guinness. Yay! Since they serve food, there is no smoking permitted inside. But there's plenty of company outside the front door at any given time. Heavy smokers or anti-authoritarians might be more comfortable up the street at the Seven Seas Lounge. They have a full bar but no food, so no restrictions on lighting up there. Though the atmosphere there is quite different. But that's a whole 'nother review. If you live or work around the Gables or near Red Road and Coral Way, give Duffy's a try for some no-nonsense drinking and eating. read more

Love this local little joint for a quick and inexpensive eat to bite....bite to eat. I am actually going back tonight! Service is always good , food is always good albeit simple, and always comes out promptly. Draft specials are always a good thing. Lately they have had their Duffy Ale on special for $2 and it's actually pretty good! Recommendations for when you go: Split Pea soup Tomato soup Roast beef sandwich (all 3 items above are specials and not always available. Expect to find them at least once a week though) Duffy's Chili Any of the burgers Sliders death dog Club Sandwich I wish they had more desserts available, but a beer can always count as dessert in my book ;o) ***forgot to mention that EVERY night after 11PM = 2 for 1 beers and wine and 1/2 off hard liquor drinks!*** read more

One of the best burgers in Miami. Great beer selection. Skip the frys and go for the onion rings. Don't order anything else. read more

Went here for the first time last night to watch some golf and the end of the Heat game since I was in the area. This place gives a new name to places with stuff on their walls, as I don't even think there's one inch of this place that isn't covered by something. I think it actually adds something to the tavern as you can tell it's been around for quite some time. Now, we ordered the Zucchini sticks which were fried and came with "spicy" mustard sauce, which I would swear was just regular yellow mustard. The actual Zucchini was pretty darn good, though. Then, I ordered the Hickory Burger which came with BBQ sauce with your choice of cheese (Cheddar for me). The burger was cooked fine but this thing was an unholy mess. The bottom bun was way too soggy so I took it off, which was probably for the better. The reason I would come back to this place, however, are the drink specials. They are non-stop and for the price, there is no better in the area. The waiters and bartenders are all very nice and friendly people and always take a second to talk to you and get to know you, which is rare down here. So, in a nutshell, I'll go back for the service and drink specials. The food, while okay, is nothing to get excited over. read more

The bartender said hello, how are you, and made eye contact. I asked for ShockTop and he explained they also had a seasonal flavor and have me a sample. He made eye contact and sincerely thanked me for my tip. I'm having an out-of-Miami experience! Unfortunately this is unusual service for me in Miami. Besides that, i liked the look and feel of this sports bar and the people sitting at the bar were nice. I'll be back. read more

CASH ONLY! - The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars. We popped in for a quick bite on Saturday. Its very casual.. you come in and set up camp wherever you like. The servers were all very attentive and various people will ask you if you're doing OK while you're eating. I just had a cheeseburger with potato salad.. it was great. Hit the spot. Washed it down with a beer (which was on sale at the time) The place was pretty full when we got there, a soccer game was on so there were many people shouting and cheering. There is a mini-arcade on the left room in the back where there were at least 10 little boys in a frenzy. It was cute. The bar has a cool, Keys feel, to it. I lost count of how many old bottles were hanging overhead. The walls covered in picture frames. I was sitting with my back to the large TV so I looked around at all of the wall entertainment. All in all i is a cool place to come in and grab a beer and a burger. They have some awesome specials during the week that we may check out in the future. **This is my 200th Review** read more
