This place is always a vibe!! The espresso martini is soo good, they add a lemon zest to it and grate some chocolate on top. Absolutely delicious! The mojito is also phenomenal, I love the fancy ice they add to the cocktail. It makes it 10x better. Parking can be a bit complicated. There is street parking and a lot or parking garage close by. Other than that, it's a great time. The service is quick. The music is great, it feels like it's 2016 and they also play some 80s music. It's an entire vibe! You've gotta check them out! read more

Still one of my favorite bars in Downtown Miami. Good happy hour and the cocktails are amazing! They recently added new concoctions to the menu just in time for the busy holiday season. Make sure to check them out. Drinks are not watered down but always well-balanced and potent. My go-to is their Old Fashioned, of course, but I have a new favorite called Urban Cowboy. It's made with Maple Bacon Infused Maker's Mark, vanilla cinnamon syrup, bitters and cedar smoke. So good! I also recently tried the Red Flag made with Cazadores Blanco, lime, agave, strawberry-infused Aperol, and topped with bubbles. So refreshing and tasty. You cant go wrong with any of their cocktails. The mixologist knows what they're doing and as a matter of fact, this place has won several competitions during SOBEWFF. It gets packed late at night, especially Friday and Saturday so get there at a decent hour so you grab a table or space by the bar. Will keep coming back! read more

I didn't realize that this was a "dive bar" because it's a little upscale. The prices are In line with downtown Miami. Service is slow sometimes but the vibe will make you sit around for it. I've never tried food there but the drinks are ok. My latest visit was disappointing but I'll return. They do have TouchTunes so you can be the DJ. read more

Such a fun spot for a late night drink! The vibes give dive bar but the drinks are upscale and definitely worth the hype. The Porn Star Martini is the "star" of the show. Visually it's a cool looking cocktail but it tastes phenomenal as well. The staff is great and the interior has tons of character/charm. read more

I've been invited here many times, and glad that I finally made it out. It was a Dusse event so the special drink list was really nice. I chose the Mama Tried espresso martini and I'm so glad I did. It was delicious! The music was sooo good all night. And the vibes were high. I love how conveniently located it is. I'll definitely be back! read more

We were in the area on a Tuesday night and saw the sign above the entrance to Mama Tried all lit up - but we nearly didn't come here as it looked relatively lifeless outside with little activity. We decided to walk over and have a look and I'm glad we did, as it was definitely a happy find! Mama Tried is a decent-sized eclectic bar with a pool table and a live DJ most nights, with a varied drink menu and a humorous "back story" on their website if you take the time to look it up. The bartenders were fast and friendly, and I really liked the cocktail I had - flavorful but not sickening sweet as one tends to find in many cocktail bars of late. Best of all, they have a generous happy hour and this place is open late. read more

YALL. WHAT?! The new Mama Tried menu is ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL. The drinks are up to their original standard, but they're modern and absolutely delicious. I would absolutely recommend checking out the new menu, hang out for the vibes & and definitely get a cocktail from Dominique! She's an amazing bartender and took awesome care of us. read more

I've gotten my phone stolen twice here but it literally will not stop me from coming back. There is truly something so special at mama tried and I absolutely adore every time I have come here. From the music, to the drinks to the staff, you truly can never have a bad time. I will say just be extra careful with your phone and wallet since there are major pic pockets here and keep your phone on a leash or SOMETHING LOL read more

Second visit to Mama Tried and it was just as good as the first. We didn't have any food this time, but the drinks were on point tequila soda, cranberry orange vodka, and a Negroni. The ambiance is still amazing and the music was popping all night. AJ was an awesome bartender and took great care of us. Definitely worth coming back, especially since they're open until 5 a.m. read more

Mama Tried? More like Mama TIRED. It's 2026 imagine still being homophobic. I'm absolutely disgusted with how my group got treated here last night. From getting thrown out for contemplating using the mens restroom, up to the point of the manager saying "you people don't belong here." EEEEYUCK. this place ain't it. There are so many clubs/bars in the Miami scene. Definitely skip this one. read more

Miami needs more dive bars like Mama Tried! Lots of character, unpretentious, and down-to-earth. It's a nice cozy and dark atmosphere when you want to escape. Ironically, I got a French 75 here - a decidedly not very "dive bar" drink but it was on the menu and is one of my favorites, so couldn't not get it. read more

At first I thought this would be a cool low key place bc their drink prices were reasonable. I went with my BF and his friend before going to mode. We paid the bill and our friend tipped cash. However, when we received the statement from our bank, we noticed a $10 tip was added without our approval. Didn't even think to get a receipt when leaving. I disputed it to the bank anyway in hopes of further action and credit card fraud charge possibility. I won't be returning. read more

DO NOT GO TO THIS BAR!!!! they have an entire operation on stealing phones. They pick pocket you and the security is in on it. They will give problems once you call them out on it but they let these people come in and security helps them. Warning everyone beware or you will get your stuff stolen! read more

Dark, seedy, pool table, everything you would want from your local dive bar. The staff was attentive and the happy hour menu had a nice mix. Glad I had the experience. read more

First off, let me start by saying the place is very crowded for the size of the location. The ambiance is giving bar/ a bit of club vibe. I didn't get any food but the drinks were good, nothing crazy. There are a lot of college students there especially sorority girls and fraternity boys. There are street parking available read more

We came here during happy hour (daily until 8pm) which includes $7 cocktails and $5 wells and it was pretty much empty when we arrived. There is a large bar area to order drinks and some tables on the exterior of the space. There is also a pool table and a music machine if you want to pay to play some tunes. We ordered the old fashioned, palomita, and the pineapple daiquiri. All the drinks were great especially the palomita; we liked the dim lights and the vibes. Our bartender was also great (didn't get his name) and he gave us some recommendations for restaurants and bars in the area. I'd highly recommend coming here during happy hour if you're in the downtown Miami area to get some discounts on delicious drinks. read more

No matter how many places I try, I keep circling back to Mama Tried. The energy here is unmatched -- gritty, lively, and effortlessly cool without trying too hard. The music always hits, the cocktails are creative and balanced, and the whole room feels electric in the best way. It's the kind of spot where a quick drink easily turns into an unforgettable night. The staff keeps things moving and the atmosphere stays fun from start to finish. Just stay aware of your belongings in a packed crowd and enjoy the ride. read more

Service was not good . The staff and the manager were rude . We were barely there for 20 mins and we felt very unwelcome.

Very cool chill place, come here on Saturdays with the girls to dance and have a few drinks . It does get really packed so be mindful of that. Overall nice vibes. read more

Cool music, cool specialty cocktails, cool atmosphere. Have not yet been to their happy hour but it seems like a great time to go. Went here for my birthday and the bouncer gave me a hug and told me happy birthday. Street parking and parking garage right next to the bar and very close to a metro station depending on how you manage to get yourself to the bar. Might wanna bring earplugs. read more

Friend lives in the area so we walked over four a quick cocktail before calling it a night. We ordered Kentucky Moscow mules with Jamison and they were delicious but next time I'm totally trying the Something Spicy with Mezcal. The Something Spicy with Mezcal has roast rosemary which is roasted in front of you in the cocktail glass. It made for a fun presentation, and the rosemary roasting was very aromatically pleasing. Prices are very reasonable and the service was spectacular! It's a great little hole in the wall type of place with a pool table, arcade game, and plenty of bar/table seating. read more

Writing this from my new phone, because mine got stolen from Mama Tried this past weekend, as well as my camera My friend and at least 4 other people got their phones or wallets stolen here the same night out there as well. I've read that this is an ongoing issue at this bar. Unfortunate because it is fun. Stay safe out there y'all. read more

A Miami relic, loved local bartenders, mama tried is one of those rarely changing bars. Every cocktail is solid, and the staff is really knowledgeable. This is the perfect place for. Drink before a game, or a third location night cap before going home. read more

We stumbled upon a cute little bar while walking back to our car after dinner at CVI.CHE 105. With my birthday just a few hours away, the security guards invited us in for free shots on the house. The vibe was super fun, with everyone dancing. Though we didn't stay long, we had a blast! A charming little spot in Miami! read more

Perfectly located in downtown Miami. This is a frequent stop for pre and post gaming lol. The place is relatively small with a 1920's decor. I absolutely love the starry ceiling above the bar! Drinks are amazing and crafted by skilled and friendly bartenders. They have a great happy hour (til 8pm!) and the place gets packed as the night goes on. Good music and drinks makes this a great place to stop by on your night out. We came before and after a heat game but often come before and/or after an event. The vibe is usually great and drinks are always delish. Great walking distance from the arena and other fun downtown treasures. read more

I'm from Miami but moved out a year ago. Whenever I visit Miami there is always a new place that I'm just hearing about it for the first time. This time it's Mama Tried and I'm glad that I found out about this place because it just a great vibe. The drinks are reasonably priced, they have a pool table and some arcade games. This is truly a full on bar vibe which I love. The service can be a bit better, I paid for a round using cash and card. The bartender misunderstand me and gave me some attitude when trying to correct the issue. Overall I recommend. read more
