    The bar was fun ! It was ladies night the Thursday I went and the drinks were super cheap. The music was a vibe and the service was great. I will come back for a girls night or to catch some drinks at the gables.

    Been going to The Bar for years. Usually Carlos and Brie take care of me. For the last 2 weeks they have been out of Miller Highlite "The Champagne of Beers". Been drinking coors light or michalobe ultra light. The cooler on the back corner is the coldest cooler in the bar. I set up shop there. Today walked in and dealt with a girl I have seen a lot but do not know. asked for the coldest beer she had and she handed me a coor light . Asked her for the coldest in the cooler and she looked me in the eye and said if you don't like it go to another bar. Ok I did. Thought that the treatment From her was worse until this experience with the Man bun guy insisted I give him a credit card for a happy hour beer. I said Carlos and Brie don't ask me for a card plus I pay cash. He kept pointing to a small sign saying"it's the policy dude". I said no"dude I have seen you in here for the past years. It's broad daylight and no one is here. Even if I make a run for it you will see me a mile away". Not sure how you can have bartenders as cool and professional as Carlos and Brie and then polar opposite as "go to another bar" girl and man bun guy. Regardless. When I walk in there if Carlos or Brie ain't there I am taking my business elsewhere. Here is where I spent my C note.

    So first off, the service here is great! It's your typical dive bar that actually has the best bartenders in the sense of attention and needs. However, there were several men harassing me and no one on staff prevented it from happening they only were saying hey sorry about that after or "I just saw men talking to her". I really had a genuine time here and shout out to the best service but it's really unfortunate because I felt unsafe after. I think that we shouldn't demonstrate businesses as a bad example when they clearly have so many good examples under the belt but I cannot fathom me going here without a group or a man again.

    I really enjoyed this bar. Great music. Drinks are cheap so that's always good. Vibe was nice the night I went. Will be back for sure

    Great place for drinks and dancing! I've been to The Bar a few times throughout my life and all my experiences have been great! Love the music, DJ's, and the ambiance. Even when it's slow, I think the atmosphere is still fun. I'm thankful The Bar exists for people to go dance, let out their dance moves, enjoy each other's company, get fairly priced drinks, and let loose.

    Their bar food is good Had their Buffalo wings and chicken fingers with fries. It was all very good and tasty. Their service is always on point. We've been going to this bar for years now and it's never disappointed. I love the ambiance of this bar. The have music for everyone. You have three different areas to hang out in and around the bar. The decor is awesome- retro old school sort of way. Dimmed red lights

    There's no shortage of options at The Bar.

    Oh, The Bar. I have been coming here for years and I warn all who wander in to exercise caution. Will you have a fabulous time and love everything the DJ plays? Absolutely. Will you dance like no one is watching, despite the dance floor being packed? Yes, yes you will. But, because the pours are STRONG and the music is great...the end of the night will likely be a total mystery when you eventually wake up at 12 pm the next day. How many gin and tonics were consumed? Whose bed is this? What happened to my shoes? All these questions are ones I've asked myself after a night out at The Bar. Since I moved back to Coral Gables in 2021, this bar has been responsible for a good 80%-85% of all the hangovers I've experienced since then. So enjoy your time here...but enjoy responsibly.

The service was exactly what you'd expect the Biltmore to be, exceptional! The bartender prepared exceptional Cocktails, both stiff and beautiful to sip on.

They had live music that was wonderful. It just added to the ambiance. Our server came over pretty quickly and we ordered drinks. They have a huge drink selection and I think they are well priced despite it being The Biltmore. I got the Heartbreaker martini for $18 and it was so delicious! It was light and fruity, just what I was looking for. My husband got an espresso martini that was also delish. Our server left us to hang out but periodically checked on us. I just loved everything about this place. If you're looking for a refined, chill environment to enjoy a drink, definitely come here.

The service was efficient and friendly, Ken took great care of us and made sure everything flowed smoothly. The menu has a great variety and everything is beautifully presented. I started with the sweet-sauce chicken wings, perfectly crispy and full of flavor, followed by a round of tacos, some with beef, others with chicken, fresh and well balanced. I also had the chance to shake things up with an espresso martini or known as RumWake. It had all those rich coffee aromas and an interesting twist from a banana nut texture. It was good, but I still prefer the classic version. Their mojito, which I usually don't enjoy, totally surprised me, bright mint notes toned down the sweetness just right. At Mamey, they call it the "Mint Condition," and it's definitely worth a conditional try. The one drink I liked the least was the Serata, essentially an Aperol spritz with Asian gin blended with Prosecco. It felt watered down and the flavors just didn't come together for me. Overall, Mamey delivers a unique "island-minded" experience that blends flavors from the Caribbean, Asia, and Latin America. Between the beautiful setting, creative menu, great cocktails (with a couple of misses), and attentive service, it's a spot I'd come back to for both casual nights and special occasions.

We've come here a few times in recent weeks and the place is running nearly the same as it always has for at least a few decades, through changes in drag hosts, management and even changes to this venue's name over those years. We tend to come just before showtime so there's normally always a cover (worth it for the entertainment patrons get to see), friendly bartenders and a drag show featuring talented performers, with at least one normally interacting with patrons and doing comedy during a break in the performances, before opening up the floor for dancing once the show is complete. Azucar isn't located near much of anything else when it comes to nightlife, it's a bit divey - definitely nothing fancy or glamorous, and it's probably not worth the drive from the beach just to check it out, as at least one other reviewer mentioned. Also, all shows and entertainment, aside from lyrics to a few songs here and there are in Spanish with no English translation, so if you don't speak Spanish or have someone who can interpret at least some of the funniest bits that get the most laughs, you may not fully understand what's happening or may feel a bit left out. That said, if you're just looking for a solid drag show or appreciate Latin nightlife, this is definitely an option.
