Sunset Tavern has been my spot for more than 10 years. The food is amazing the bartenders are awesome. It really is the best happy hour in South Miami. My friends and I love getting together after work for the happy hour it's also our favorite spot to watch football games they have an awesome wide screen to watch the games. And Saturday nights they have great bands. They also have an awesome pool table which you can play free on Saturdays. So come on down and check it out!! My favorite place Sunset Tavern. And if you like Bloody Mary's they make the best Bloody Mary. read more

If you are in Miami and wish to have a taste of a typical American bar, you do not need to fly anywhere. Just go to this nice place in South Miami. You will feel like being in a mix of Key West, New Orleans and San Francisco (considering only the places I know). It is a pleasant environment, specially when there is a band, always of very good quality and for free. read more

I've been here several times and its always been just alright until I went for happy hour on Friday. The drinks were half off ,their well vodka was Absolute which isn't so shabby. Happy hour also includes free food!! Oysters,shrimp, boneless wings, etc. They set it up buffet style. That was pretty awesome and not to mention it actually taste good. ( although my buzz might had a lot to do with the food tasting good) Overall, it was a great Friday afternoon!!! read more

This is another one of those bars that if it was anywhere else in the United States, it might not be that big a deal. But, like alot of "normal" places in Miami, it's a diamond in a rough simply because you can hear yourself speak and it's not over-run with meat-heads. In any case, Sunset Tavern has outside seating, which, in non-South Beach Miami, believe it or not, is rather rare. The jukebox is good, and the drinks are cheap(-ish). More importantly, both inside and outside the bar, you can actually hear yourself speak! What a concept! Plus, my friend Heather works there, and she is cuh-ute. But I don't know if she's single. There are other cute waitresses there too, though. read more

Based on my first-time experience with Sunset Tavern, I can say I'm a fan. I went for a close friends birthday party and the whole event was very successful. The waiters were friendly and attentive and didn't seem to be annoyed by the amount of people packed into the two booths we had. The bartenders were also quick with the drinks and more than happy to give out plenty of limes, straws, napkins and other drink necessaries. The music was great, albeit a bit loud for how small the place is. The outside seating looks perfect for those groups that aren't into the indoor ruckus. All in all, I think I'll be coming back soon to check out food offerings and weeknight specials. :D read more

This is my favorite bar in South Miami and I love how relaxed this place is. You can either sit inside, outside, or at the bar and the staff is usually pretty friendly. The food is suprisingly delicious since it is brought straight over from Deli Lane next door. My favorite is to try the Drink of the Day since it's usually some sort of fruity concoction and at a cheaper price that usual cocktails. Last time I also noticed that they have free food buffet's sometimes during happy hour - that's definitely something to check out! I really don't know what more you could ask for at your local Tavern. read more

I can't say enough about the Happy Hour, the service and the menu items that are offered for a $1.00 with a beverage. The fish & peel and eat shrimp is always fresh and newly introduced to the menu Pizza Empanadas are to die for; its a must and if you haven't been YOU must. Live music anviace is great with outside seating, experience it and share with your friends. I failed to mentioned breakfast & lunch, but let's get happy first. read more

Sunset Tavern - Oh it's so GOOD, must try....! - Sports Bars Near Me - South Miami, Florida

See all

A little skeptical at first but we really needed to catch the heat game on time so we decided to give it a try. Thanks to the earlier yelpers, the slow service didnt come as a surprise...its ok though, I had patience because even though they were a little slow, they were very accommodating. The place is split in two and since the main area was packed, we ate at the sports bar side. I had the grilled veggie wrap which was good but lacked a little bit of flavor....maybe some sauce. I had french fries as a side and was OVERWHELMED to see that they had malt vineger and good MV at that! They have a decent beer selection and a particular belgium wheat beer that I found to be light and comfortably spicy....very appropriate for the cooler weather. read more

Went here with friends of mine to hangout, since we had not been back here since it was the Your Fathers Mustache. Deli Lane has taken it over and renamed it Sunset Tavern, but with some of the same interior as I remember it. The place is a locals hangout to just relax and enjoy drinking, eating and partying. The happy hour specials are one of the best in the area for alcohol and food. The service is good as well, as had our drinks full and made sure are order came out with no issues. The only issue is seating and parking, other than that, if you are in the downtown South Miami area on a weekday, you need to try this place out. read more

Walked in with my friend on karaoke night. Wasn't that crowded yet since it was still early. There was no greeter so we sat at a random table and had absolutely no one assist us. The waiters made straight eye contact with us several times and not a single one came to our table. Very disappointed. read more

This place is great to just chill out with friends and have a couple drinks. They're moderately priced though I'd say pretty amazing considering the area they're in. I've been here a few times and my drinks are almost always amazing. Not to mention they don't skimp on the liquor. I have yet to try any of the actual food so I'll have to come back and edit this review one day. read more

Best place for Happy Hour in South Miami. All drink are 50% off and appetizers are $1-$2 with every drink purchase. Huge beer selection and full bar. Sunset tavern: A South Miami staple. read more

WGood food, good band.. Great little chill spote came to Sunset Tavern after having spent the entire day at the Miami International Boat Show. We arrived around 7:30 or so and asked for a table for 8 - the waitress told us we could seat ourselves and so we did - luckily, there was a huge table avialable right in the front and next to the stage. We ordered a few round of drink and some appetizers to pick at. Three was a group of patrons there that werent your typical Miami crowd - my guesses were either UM students or a group from out of town on vacay - but watching them dance to the coutry music they kept selecting on the jukebox was priceless and endlessly enteretaining.. lol Around 10pm - the jukebox turned off and a lcoal singer - Robert Elias(i believe was his name) and his band took the small stage. He did an acoustic set which was very good and later on did another two sets with the instruments plugged in - we really enjoyed his performances. Slowly, other friends began to join us and the drinks and food kept coming.. We watched the three point and slam dunk comeption on the TV as well as some UFC and Gridiron Gang - you know the one , the Rock teaches convicts to bond on the football field movie.. Anyways, there were some minor complaints - first of all, our waitress Kindall was devoid of any personality - even when we tried to engage gher - she was disconnenected and uninterested. The first round of drinks came out very lack - but after voicing a minor complaint, they came out stronger. The food overall was decent for what we ordered - mostly appetizers - although one of my friends ordered the chicken tortellini and he was happy with it. I remember this place when it was mostly booths - so to see that they booths had been removed and replaced with tables and chairs - was a mild surprise - but i liked the change - gave it a more open feel. we really fdid have a good time though here and will likely return - minor complaints aside. read more

I definitely enjoyed the atmosphere, service and live band. Even though I'm already a one man band, it's always nice to have live music. The drinks are moderately priced and the servers are very attentive. I didn't go on happy hour, but assume I'd love it even more. Can't wait for my next trip here. read more

I used to love this place. I really did. But holy moly, has it gotten a little expensive??? And the food quality to me as not as good as before. I have enjoyed this place for its easy going atmosphere, cheap beer specials and yummy food. But last night made me look around and question my old devotion. Two of us ate and drink moderately/ lightly. Here is the break down, 3 small appetizers 3 Strongboughs 3 gin and tonics Our bill??? 78 bucks! without tip. Now. We have no problems with ever plopping down money for food and drinks. Its our piggy natures. But seriously??? The appetizers were sub par at best, G&T weak, and I can get a six pack of Strongbough for 8 bucks! Here they charged us 6.50 per. Definitely not worth the drive anymore or food. It just seemed like it was not worth the old devotion anymore at those prices and quality of food. read more

Went today during Happy Hour and took advantage of the half price drinks. Additionally, took advantage of their $1 menu which they have during happy hour. If you order alcohol then you can choose 5-6 different items for only $1. Got the truffle fries and the buffalo fingers. Both were good, but as expected, nothing too crazy. For dinner I ordered the same thing I always do - the Pressed Duck sandwich. I absolutely love this sandwich and it is the only thing I ever order when I go there. I highly recommend! read more

Great little spot with a live jazz quartet on this Friday night. Cold beers and warm women made it a perfect starting point to get the night going. The pressed duck sandwich cut in 3 pieces as a welcome offering which all enjoyed. Music was a little loud for a conversation but the band was very good and appropriate for the setting. read more

On Saturday November 28, wow! what a party!! Sunset Tavern closed down the street in front of their bar/restaurant and put a live band on one end and tables with chairs (reservable) and high top tables (open) through the length of the street (social distanced of course). It was a beautiful night and everyone had a great time listening to the band "Click" after nine months of covid lock down. The staff was phenomenal and were running to serve everyone as fast as they could...Noelle was amazing, doing any and every job to make things run smoothly. My friends and I had the best time ever and we sure hope they do it again soon! read more

Ray is one of the best bartenders I have ever experienced! I asked him for a tasty shot as a surprise and what he made was phenomenal! He is incredibly attentive and very friendly. 5 stars for Ray! read more

I have no idea what Sebastian is raging about (see two reviews up). Sunset Tavern is not only the best bar in South Miami, its the best in the County. There is something here for everyone. They have a pool table, a jukebox with almost EVERY song played in it. Every major sport is on the TVs, and if your game isn't on for some reason the cool staff will have it on for you in a minute. GREAT FOOD, GREAT PEOPLE. And they feed you for FREE at Happy Hour. The seafood buffet at Happy Hour on Friday is this city's best kept secret. When they have events like UFC on pay per view and so forth there is NO COVER, and they throw in drink specials to boot. There is something for everyone at Sunset Tavern read more

Sunset tavern... what more can I say! I love this place and it's all because of our bartender Heather.. Great vibes to go along with great drinks, definitely love coming here every week for whiskey Wednesday.. read more

Sunset Tavern - Whiskey Wednesday - Sports Bars Near Me - South Miami, Florida

Tavern food bland... drinks ordered also were regular. Friday night with happy hour drinks seem not to be a good deal here.

Met some old friends while visiting my old hometown. Very impressed with wait staff, (thanks Susan). Food was ordered and out pretty fast considering the place was packed on St.Paddy's Day. They had a great band. Drink specials were fair priced. They brought out shots/drinks for our group several times and they were always perfect. Really liked the atmosphere, bistro style, and inside the bar looked kinda "dive-ish" but clean. Mens room is typical, needs some renovation. Very friendly patrons and staff. Wish I had a place like this near my home now. I highly recommend. read more

The staff is really nice and the food is great. I was a regular for years. They remodeled a few months ago and constantly have horrible old timey bands playing loudly. If you are between 50-65 and you enjoy very loud music, go to Sunset Tavern around 11 pm. Take an Advil with you. However, the brunch is awesome and the happy hour specials can't be beat ($1 appetizers) read more

I have always liked this place! Especially for brunch, I have yet to have a bad breakfast here along side amazing drinks and an awesome bartender! I always get the eggs Benedict because the hollandaise sauce is just so delicious to turn down! Totally recommend this ask for an awesome spicy bloody, the bar tender always makes it perfect with flavor! read more

Sunset Tavern is a great bar!!! The bartenders at sunset tavern are some of the nicest people u will encounter! It's a smoke friendly bar in which u can order food in which is Awesome!!! And we need to keep it that way. There is talk of making it a smoke free bar and that just can't happen everyone that comes here is a smoker just about! Sorry but if you don't smoke there are hundreds of other places you can go!!! Help us keep Tavern smoke friendly!!!!!! Email isit420yetvinnie@aol.com and I will forward all your emails to the managers! Ps I can walk here so I like it a lot haha read more

ahhh deli lane/sunset tavern... how many days i spent here during college. breakfast in the morning... drinner and drinks at night(especially if one of my guy friends dragged me to go watch some game)... but forget the food for a second... LADIES NIGHT ON THURDAYS. hey, you can't beat the penny drinks!!! though in the past few years, ladies night at deli lane/sunset tavern has become "the unofficial secret lesbian hangout" much to the confusion of a lot of my guy friends. maybe i shouldn't have shared the secret ;) so say 'hi' if you see me read more

As everyone says the food is the best part about this place. I ordered the chicken wings the last ime I was there and they do not offer different heat levels and they sure were hot, which is the way I like them, but be careful if you do not like spicy foods. I say just go for a good meal and sit outside and enjoy the weather as I have never found the bartenders inside to be very friendly, but the inside is not too bad if you are going with someone you want to have a conversation with. read more

I stopped over here for the first time last week. Now that I go to UM, I am off the beach grid far more frequently! They have a great daily happy hour 5-7 with half off drinks. A decent beer selection. The only server in the place was running his skinny butt off & was very pleasant. I just thought the food was OK. I got the caprese sandwich and they burned my bread a little. My mom got the apple bacon Swiss sandwich, they also burned her bread. The menu is pretty extensive for a dive bar & I am going to try some other food from here. If they don't burn my food next time I will upgrade them to 4 stars. The seasoned fries rocked by the way. read more

Our server shaun was great! Wonderful food and drinks and you must try the carrot cake!

Great place for Happy Hour. 2 for 1 with great small bites to eat. Server's are nice but place gets busy. Live music brings you back to the 70-80's... nice relaxing crowd. Pool table and tvs .... read more

Place is real mellow and chill. Has that college bar'ish feel. Every now and then they have promotions, you just have to be on top of them to know which are for which days. Waitresses are cute too ;) Will always come for a few beers and what not. read more

By far the worst customer service experience i've had in a long time. Our server was frank. We barely saw him and after an hour of waiting for our food we just asked for the bill. Even that took too long so we left $8 cash for the 3 cokes we had. At no point in the hour we spent there did Frank tell us there was a delay or did he even try to make our experience there. Just for clarification in case he had a different name tag on he has glasses and a pony tail. I've been coming to tavern/deli lane for 10 years now at this point Leslie is the only competent server they have on their staff. Will not be returning here for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Very disappointed. read more

Found my way over to Sunset Tavern on a Tuesday evening. I was pleasantly surprised that they were holding a trivia night and they had a bunch of specials on beer.. Quality Although they are connected to the Deli Lane next door, I did not order anything from the food menu. I did have a few drinks, which fell into your lower-tiered beer category, but for the special prices they were nothing to complain about. Quantity The beer I drank was right out of the can, so you can't fault them at all for the size. Value It was a Tuesday, but still you can't find better deals anywhere. Beers were crazy cheap and with the trivia you had a chance to win gift certificates to make them even cheaper. Ambiance Sunset Tavern is located in South Miami right off of Rt. 1. It is a dive bar, but it is a dive bar that also has a decent sized outdoor patio and a decent food selection provided by its neighbor restaurant. The televisions outside are a bit depressing, but inside they have televisions across the whole bar. The biggest issue was that many of the televisions were on a delay so you could have the same game on with several seconds different from a television a few down from it. The inside is larger than you would expect and it also has surprisingly high ceilings. They have a small stage set up for bands and DJs and in this case a trivia MC. They also had dart boards and a pool table. Most people inside had huddled around the bar area, but there were a few that chose the hightops for their trivia teams. The music was classic rock, but it was turned down for trivia, and after trivia they put the volume on for one of the games. Crowd The weather outside was less than optimal, so it seemed like the trivia crowd was less than expected. They had several small groups playing as well as what looked like regulars just hanging out at the bar. Nothing loud and crazy, just a bunch of people drinking beers and having a good time. Service The bartenders were super nice as was the one girl going around to tables to check on drinks. Not much was needed, but she was always there just in case. Parking There are a few spots right outside, but you are better off going a block away and parking near the Winn Dixie, where its less of a fight. You can also head to the garage that also uses the street parking prices further east on Sunset. Extra Nothing about Sunset Tavern will really blow you away, but cheap drinks and entertainment are enough for me. I have no doubt I'll be back again, probably for a trivia night, and hopefully next time I'll do I bit better. read more

Best happy hour of miami... Hands down. Prices are great and they have a dollar appetizer menu. The staff is a little odd but it's a chill place to just read and people watch, hang in a big group, or meet new people. It has a huge variety and wide array of clientele. Check it out, and if u don't like it then everything is within walking distance. Parking can be a pain but valet us free! This is my go to spot for all the aforementioned. They have these cool deals every day, live music, karaoke (which is usually a desperate attempt to get customers but it can get fun), it can be hit or miss but most of the time on a random weekday you'll have fun! The restaurant next door(same business) has lines for brunch. Check it out! read more

Honestly the worst pizza I've ever eaten. It was soft and soggy and had no firmness to it. Didn't even finish the pie and my stomach has been aching. It was most likely not even fresh. I had no idea that pizza could be made this horribly and I would never go to or eat from this place ever again. I wish I had taken a picture before throwing the whole thing out, so I could show what comes out of that kitchen. read more
