    Chicken Wrap
    Girl T.

    Great little spot. Definitely a nice hangout and bar to watch sports and eat. There's game in the back and themed nights. Food was good but pricey at 18$ a wrap, but what isn't nowadays. Fries were crispy but not enough lol service was GREAT! Our waitress handled everything in a crowded room and even managed our order correctly without needing to note it down. Drinks were about 12$ so that definitely evened out. Everything was clean and music was playing some hits.

    Most of our drinks were weak, but good for the most part. The martinis I had was strong. The fries were the best bar fries ever. I loved them. They were very crispy. They were well seasoned. the Bavarian pretzel was salty and soft, and both dips were really good with a good level of spice. The wings were really good overall I really liked the Cajun barbecue flavor and the buffalo over having them dry. The pizza rolls were so good and unexpected. I love them way too much. They reminds me of mozzarella sticks. Not oily at all. Very crispy. The inside is very dive bar and was a little loud, but it was overall very enjoyable.

    The brightside is the best neighborhood bar they are very welcoming and a great place to watch games like the panthers, Olympics soccer basketball they are a true sports bar. The drinks are great. I love the chili and buffalo chicken dip I usually order both every time I visit. They are both served with chips. If I want to eat a meal I order the Cesar chicken wrap or the cheese burger. The bartenders are super nice and truly what keeps me going back! I recommend for sports games!

    It's been a minute and The Brightside hasn't skipped a beat! It was a great time with excellent service as usual (thanks Sabina, Rey and the crew)! And I forgot how much I LOVE the mahi sandwich. Lord have mercy it's delicious. I add a slice of cheddar to give it a little umph while substituting the chips for the delicious tots. This is a must have! I had the Miami mule mocktail version and it was great. I love when bars cater to the nonalcoholic folks like myself. The vibes were cool and the ambiance is always great. I'm so glad I went to meet up with friends, while seeing old friends and making new friends. Great spot every time! Check them out and enjoy!

    Food was excellent. I had the Beef on Weck roast beef. Yummm it was delish, but be sure to ask for both sauces on the side. Tator tots were on point, crunchy. Service was great, came over a couple of times and chit chatted with us. The noise level was good, perfect for conversation.

    Neighborhood gem. Staff, bartenders were all amazing and very welcoming. Made you feel at home. Drinks were amazing and food was delicious. Highly recommend visiting especially to watch sports. Real cool vibe , music on point and just a chill vibe.

    I heard about The Brightside on Taste of the Town and, since it's in our neighborhood, we decided to stop in for some late night bites. There are two entrances: one by the parking lot behind the building, and another on the sidewalk that runs along Coral Way. The place has plenty of tables & TVs, and it feels spacious inside. We each chose one item to share and ended up ordering the pretzel, nachos, and chili. The pretzel itself was good: soft, fluffy, salty...paired nicely with mustard. I wasn't impressed at all by the nachos. The nachos and the pretzel both had the exact same "cheeze" and it wasn't even very good because it's like the kind you get at a ballpark or a movie theater. The chips seemed like the kind you can get in a bag from the supermarket, they weren't even warm. The chili, however, was on point. Good flavor -- I'd get it again. Maybe our mistake was having higher expectations for these more basic items...I would like to go back and try some of the main items for which they're well-known, possibly update this review after a second visit.

    Second time around to catch Karaoke on Saturday night - this time for my sister's birthday! What a fun night we had! Ate before so I can't comment on the food but the drinks were great and $14 martinis are a win for the location and great vibes! The owner came by and checked on us a few times. You feel seen and waiter was friendly and attentive as well. You feel like you're at college town in the US. Can't wait to come back for more singing and dancing! Plenty of free parking in the back.

    Veggie platter

    A super fun and cool spot to catch a game. No matter what it is you're going to find a lot of fanatics glued to the many TVs with you. I came during a Panthers game and the place was packed. It's not even the playoffs yet! The food is also good and not expensive at all. The vegetarian options are limited but I do appreciate the veggie burger option. I chose to "snack" on the veggie platter which included cucumbers, carrots, and celery sticks all served with a heaping amount of ranch. I thought it would be a nice small snack but it filled me to the brim! Great for sharing! I will definitely be back to catch a game with them!

    Love the small sports bar feel of the Brightside. It's so refreshing compared to the big chains. They offer happy hour deals all week. They also have a good selection of beer on tap (a couple local, like La Rubia and La Tropical) and in bottles. They have classic bar food but I didn't get to try much as we just came in for a drink. My friend and I ordered the pretzel to share and we were not disappointed. The bartenders were spot on with their service.

    Myself and the awesome staff!

    The Brightside is THE best neighborhood bar in Miami! The owners know to keep customers happy! Service is phenomenal, food is delicious, prices are very reasonable, and there is always something going on. As the home for Manchester United Miami Red Devils, Ohio State Buckeye club and the Buffalo Bills Backers, you have a place to watch your favorite team! If you are not a sports fan, there is Trivia Night, Karaoke, and they have board games for family night! Mike, Hannah, Bianca and the rest of the staff are masters of customer service! You can never go wrong at The Brightside!

    Beef on Weck
    Jeremy N.

    This is such a great place. A bar, yes; but with a nice selection of food too. This place reminds me of a local bar back from the Midwest. The service, is great. The prices are a little bit high, but the flavors are there. I did not order this time but the fried pickles are incredible. I also came here for a networking event on another occasion and they were very accommodating and on top of everyone's drinks. I highly recommend this location.
