Just came here for a drink after dinner next door. It was cool with the outdoor seating and outdoor bar. Also the deejay was out front playing great tunes. I never went inside the actual club, outside was just fine. They hav e a list of drink specials and prices and everything was reasonable. Chill spot for drinks and tunes read more

Ok, so keeping in mind I am new to Miami. I didn't know anything about this place or the history. My husband and I had a rare date night and wanted to get a drink somewhere after dinner but before we went home. The first bar we tried didn't work out (long story) and my husband mentioned having seen an interesting bar next to Pisco y Nazca where we had been a few times. So off we went. It was around 9:00 pm, and there was only like one other couple there. My understanding is it's more of a club vibe later so that's prob why. It is all outdoors with a bar across the back. It looked nice and was decorated for Christmas. We chose to stand at the bar instead of sitting at a table which seemed to have service. We ended up ordering a cocktail each (amaretto sour and mojito). There weren't any prices on the menu (except for the specialty cocktails which they were out of). Our total for the two drinks came to $42! So I paused and asked if the tip had already been added, and the bartender sort of mumbled something about "no", so I asked if the drinks were actually $20 each. (I mean, we're in Kendall, not South Beach!) So then he showed me the receipt that showed the drinks were $16.50 each and an auto grat of 20%+ had already been added. I did not add an additional tip on top of that. But the experience was in line with some of what I read here (afterwards) of them being a little scammy financially. I'd give it 1 star but the drinks were fine and I could see the vibe being fun once more people showed up. read more

Tucandela Bar Kendall - Bars Near Me - Kendall, Florida

This place has declined a bit over the years but it is still a good spot to dance & drink on the nights they don't charge for cover. The drinks take a minute to order since the majority of the guests are crowding the walkway. The music has always been on point! read more

Tucandela Bar Kendall - Bar area - Bars Near Me - Kendall, Florida

Went there a while back ordered some shots and they where 50%water and 50% juice and the worst part it was $20 a shot. Definitely not coming back I don't like paying alcoholic beverages prices for water read more

The food and drinks. The music is awesome to dance to and it feels like you are in a club

We came here after our work Christmas party, and the place was buzzing it really hit the spot, especially for a Wednesday night. The drinks are expensive, but that's to be expected in Miami, so I can't blame the club. I didn't try the food; I'm rating this place purely based on the club experience. read more

This place is AMAZING! The atmosphere is electric, and the drinks are top-notch. The bartenders really know their stuff and make you feel welcome. A must-visit for a fun night out. Highly recommend! read more

It was a nice place but overpriced. Staff was taking their time to serve drinks. They need more bartenders in the late evening hours to serve faster. Is ok to wait but, waiting too long that you forget what you wanted is a sign of wanting too long. read more

The nightclub its dangerous I dont recommended to any one there is two much violence in the club the people are out of control and also bad behavour at all the time the ambiance is really bad and horible the drinks are not good at all and the service werent paying atention to the clients the food where realy bad . read more

Terrible bar playing awful music at maximum volume. Deafening, honestly. Ruins any nearby dinner experience. Avoid.

I normally love coming to Tucandela whenever we are in the Kendall area. This last time however, the bouncers at the door told us it would be $600 (?!) for a table... outside... in the rain... in Kendall. Sorry, but I would rather take a $20 Uber ride to the beach and go to an actual club in Miami for that price. Thankfully, we walked over to Blue Martini and had a wonderful time dancing the night away there... with a table and a bottle for a fraction of the headache. read more

Came here for the first time on the recommendation of two Salsa Schools that were teaching a taster class. I was really excited to try a new place. Unfortunately, the previous reviews were spot on. If you order any alcoholic beverages, you need to make sure that your double checking all the prices. They will try and sneak in extra drinks or change the price on you by adding extra fees. You also need to be careful with the male bartender's, They have zero empathy and are only looking to make a quick buck. I also found that the alcohol they had poured me was something cheaper and not what I had originally ordered. The tab was charged a much higher price than the standard for any downtown/beach/Wynnwood bar and this is Kendall. Lastly, when we tried to order a glass of tap water, they refused to give any tap and forced us to pay for bottled water at $10 for a small 8oz, then acted like they didn't understand you and walked away. If you refused to buy the bottle they called the bouncer on you. This was very disappointing. When we looked at the receipt, it was charged as Figi when it was a lower brand. The venue is not representative of the Salsa schools that were teaching the class here. the salsa was spot on and amazing people came out to dance. Unfortunately, I do not recommend supporting a business that is trying to take advantage of its patrons. Come for the dance, Avoid the bar! read more

We came here Saturday to celebrate my birthday it turned out to be the biggest mistake that completely ruined my night, the waitress Daylin has a horrible nasty attitude she should really consider finding a new job and stop ruining peoples fun with her miserable personality . She overcharged us for everything we ordered a picada that was $60 according to the menu she charged us $80 we ordered mixed drinks that the menu said $12 she charged $13 what kind of business allows their customers to get scammed like this? We ordered one round of drinks and the tasteless picada grabbed the check and left almost $200 to be treated like garbage the waitress couldn't stop rolling her eyes at everything we asked and couldn't explain why we were charged more. Scammers!! Wouldn't set foot in this place ever again read more

I think it's laughable how they were charging $40 for entry but for my friend with shorts on they were charging $100 in a predominantly OUTDOOR bar. Will never go back. read more

Please do not go here !! At the door they told us , if we wanted to go on inside there was a cover charge of 20$ each I asked if I could go & check the place out first , they said no ! Now I know why ! My company decided to pay & go inside We payed went inside got our drinks by the small bar & as we were approaching there tiny dance floor , they told us we couldn't dance there bc it was reserved??!!!!!so we just payed a cover chArge to stand by a very narrow bar & dance . They just robbed us !!!! I went back to the door & tried to get my money back , but no luck , I'm afraid those pore people are trained like the monkeys:( just get there money & play stupid !! read more

I stopped by here as it's one of the few places open late in Kendall. I paid $20 to get in. The patio was empty so I tried to go inside the main area. I was told it was for bottle service only. I've been here a few times before and I didn't have to buy a bottle to walk inside. I'm not paying $300 for a bottle for myself. I just came to have 2 or 3 beers before heading home. My guess is they weren't having a good turn out and they were trying to upsell me. I probably won't go back there anymore. read more

Loved tucandela best club in kendall The waitress was amazing she even gave us a bottle for free because was my bday read more

As a local who has also workd at the high level of the industry, not only was this place beneath me but, might be the worst place I've ever gotten shit to get into. My fault for slumming and clearly loosing in Town & Country of all places. Not gonna mention names but, I promise I won't forget losers at the door of this dunp in all places but Kendall. Wouldn't bother writing anything about these low rent, short minded people but, maybe if they get a slap of reality, they might be saved. Sweetheart and musclehead dude, you gonna work hospitality, know your custome. Not sure what's sadder. The fact I'm acknowledging you or fact I'm admitting trying to get into your sad little hole. , I'll remember you. read more

We went for a drink last nite. Super over priced. After ordering our drinks and Hooka, We wanted to go sit outside because the Ac was off or not working. Once outside with drinks in hand and Hooka we were informed that sitting outside even though we had already spent $$ we had to spend another $100 to have a table. I understand you have table rules but after already spending $$ and no Ac i found that they were very rude and un accommodating i will never go there!!!! I don't mind spending $$ at a club or lounge especially feeling good or having a great time with friends or family but i do mind when it is not worth it. It was definitely not worth it!!! Never again!!!! read more

Horrible Horrible I love to see local business thrive but with Pedro (manager, short fat guy ) at the helm this place is doomed. From the get goes we (party of six) noticed the constant push to order more drinks when drinks were 1/2 way full. We started to observe the directives from Pedro towards his employees, with no shame he gestured to the waitress to bring more drinks after he picked up an empty beer at our table. I guess you must have full drinks on stand by for ALL guest at all times, no exceptions. His gestured in front of us to his employee where clear. Bring more drinks even if they don't ask for it. While in front of 4 police officers, we (2 of us approached Pedro) and express his actions to be uncalled for, pushy, and completely unprofessional. I did ask Pedro in front of the officer, why are you calling an officer over when no laws have been broken. He is a public servant, and has no authority over us until then. Officer walked away and didn't even say a word. PROPS TO MDPD Finally, asked an employee to ask Pedro who was his boss, Pedro's answer, I have no boss. Could not get contact info to escalate Pedro's poor attitude to his superior. Sad to see one person ruin the future of our local business. So, to make a long story short, we left and they lost the sale of 3 bottles. Thanks Pedro. read more

This bar/restaurant could've been one of my local spots to go. The location is conveniently located in The Palms of Town & Country next to Pisco y Nazca (which is next to Blue Martini). Tucandela has a nice, outdoorsy ambience with palm trees, wooden & greenery decoration. I enjoyed their open format music when I went on Friday. Yes there is no cover charge but they are EXTREMELY PUSHY & UNPROFESSIONAL to get you to purchase drinks and/or bottle. As soon as you come in the bartenders in the front bar call you to come over and start their persistency to buy alcohol in a way that makes it very uncomfortable especially the bartender Sandra/Sarah (not sure which one is her name). The guys next to me kept calling her Sandra, but when I asked her she said it was Sarah. Anyways, back to the customer service - this specific bartender "Sarah" made this group feel so uncomfortable within the 5 minutes they entered that they ended up leaving. I do have to give it up to bartender Sabrina which was working next to "Sarah" she was more tactful in convincing the customers to buy drinks. But you can tell this is upper management's focus and goal - persist and insist on selling alcohol. I guess they don't care that equals bad customer service. If the owner is worried about making ends meet and seeing profit then to alleviate the uncomfortable vibe they should just charge $10 cover that may go to your drink. I say "may" cause some people don't drink so if they're okay to pay $10 that's on them or the person can even have the option to give that drink to a friend. Who cares but at least the business got their $10 from the get and they don't have all of their employees giving bad, ugly customer service. The location has potential, but I don't see myself going back with the way they treat the customers. We are seen like $$$$ signs lol! No thank you! I didn't even stay long enough to try their food or even go inside. I was totally turned off by their customer service. "Good customer service costs less than bad customer service". read more

If I can give this place 0 stars I would. I attempted to come here on a Sunday for brunch. The restaurant and their whole patio were empty. I asked the only person working here (younger gentlemen) if they offered a brunch menu or bottomless mimosas. He then told me he only has bottles for mimosas which I had to Purchase minimal $200 bottle. Again, I repeated what I came for, and he told me he can do Prosecco for $45 bottomless. (Which is not what I was asking for!) When I asked him for his pricing he said he "does his pricing depending on his customers." Such garbage customer service. He was rude and unfriendly. Barely understood English -which made the communication even worse. I would never come back. I would never recommend this business. read more

This place is in Kendall, but with the "bottle service" prices they act like they're in Palm Beach. One night there was a long line and they were only letting you in if you paid 300 dollars for a little as bottle. Nobody wants to flirt with their rude as bouncers for an hour of mediocre fun. Besides that-- it's extremely small in there so just be aware there will always be someone pushing you. The manager-- don't even know nor care about his name (short, bald, probably Venezuelan or Colombian from what I've been told) extremely rude... there was one situation where I was entirely polite and he disrespected me. If that's how he treats customers I can only imagine the staff treatment. Honestly I don't understand how they lasted the whole pandemic, probably because people were so desperate to go somewhere and Blue Martini was closed. (Open now!) Which by the way is 100% better. Staff is way nicer, crowd is funner and it's way spacier inside plus a variety of music. I get it's Town and Country.. but management should at least have some respect and know their place. read more

Cool little spot on your way home and still in the mood for some late nice dancing close to home. Located in town and country mall next to blue martini. It's a small restaurant that turns Latin night club as the sun goes down. Drinks are good, but a little pricey for the Kendall area. 2 drinks $30 with an 18% gratuity automatically included. Didn't try the food but it seems they have a pretty good menu as some people we're still ordering entres at 12:30 pm. read more

While out Sunday night decided to stop at the Town and Country Mall for some ice cream and the a walk around their restaurant and bar area that has a lake with fountain with and colored lights. We noticed very loud music coming from this new establishment called Tucandela Bar and at first glance seemed to be only a few people sitting outside a very nice looking new bar. Inside place was well decorated but almost completely empty with a few employees at the bar. They were very friendly in greeting so we ordered a drink and they told us it gets busy on Friday and Saturday nights. This bar looks like a nice addition to the other bars like Blue a Martini and restaurants like Cadillac Ranch that's making this mall one of the few go to places to party in Kendall, so look forward to returning on a busier night. read more

The only good thing in this place is the music, drinks are very expensive, table prices ridiculous. The bar inside is very limited in space, dance floor is small and limited to the people who have tables, staff are rude and unprofessional. The bouncers and security look intimidating. Be careful if you use a credit card, other charges are sometimes added to the bill. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY IN THIS PLACE, STAY AWAY. read more

My wife and I are 28 years old and showed our ID's to staff at the entrance. The man at the front looked at our ID's and refused to let us enter, saying that the ID's were fake. Completely horrible business, I would not recommend wasting your time going to this business. read more

I came here after winning a contest. The service is great. However prices are south beach prices for a places located in Kendall. A bucket of beer is not discount. $40 for 5 bud lights is beyond RIDICULOUS. I would highly recommend they come up with better prices for buckets. Other than that, their bottle selection is good and they offer hookah which is nice. I would recommend this place but DO NOT GET A BUCKET OF BEER. EXTREMELY OVER PRICED. Additionally, they need to work out their bathroom situation. A person guards the door and let's one person at a time which causes a big backup. I'm use to waiting in long lines but it should start all the way back to the dance floor. read more

Tucandela Bar Kendall - Bars Near Me - Kendall, Florida

They are stealing peoples $. They charge $65 for a little bottle of Moët brut which costs $20-25 every else. Then they brought me a margarita and it had Jose Cuervo which tasted bad so I ordered another one with patron or don Julio and the manager said he would have to charge me for both. My husband ordered an old parr scotch and they served him something else claiming it was old parr. Be careful bc they rob you here. And the service is terrible. Will never come back! read more

Made a reservation for a birthday dinner management wasn't on the same page with the arrangements and deposit made for the party. We had to fight for the credit to be fair because once we were at the restaurant they asked for more money per person, limited how we can spend the deposit. At the end we came to an agreement but the birthday girl ended up in tears and her 25 guests just had to make the most of it. The music was alright, service was lacking, the drinks and food were good. read more

As one of the "late" places in Kendall area, you would think they would want to bring in the local business. But as a guy, they were charging $20 for entry on a Thursday night......that's crazy on all aspects, especially when you need the support and love from the locals each day and week. This isn't a typical ladies night, you need to gather the support from the local individuals and prove that your location is here to stay. read more

Awful. Poor service quite frankly way to expensive for town and country... I am in the business as well but to add gratuity to a 2 person check is outrageous. We aren't in South Beach. So needless to say I won't be going back. read more

Horrible horrible! They take advantage of you until they don't need your money and they take you out like if you were trash!! Nothing less, my and my friends went last night and it was honestly so terrifying to go there! Please everyone be careful they pushed me hard as they could and would not want to give me my boyfriends card back they also pushed him back when he was trying to defend me! They degrade women and manipulate you into buying as much as they want!!! Please be careful and try to avoid that place, go somewhere where is safer and they will not abuse you! read more

Tucandela Bar Kendall - a woman with a tattoo on her arm - Bars Near Me - Kendall, Florida

I went with my husband tonight. He took me out to celebrate women's day ... well for been the first time there to see a new place. I can tell you it was my worse experience ever. We took a high chair by the entrance he got two beers and within 20 minutes he decided to take me for a dance in the middle of the second song, I saw the manager and a server pushing my sweater n removing his beer and gave our table to another couple when I was making contact with the server to let her know we still there. Service was poor and even told the manager for been our first time and consuming in our first 25 to 30 minutes and for them to do what they did we'll never coming back and he didn't seem to care and the server even worse. So disappointed in celebrating Rl día de las mujeres. He has no personality to be a manger prior to his act he was just standing close to us with his cell phone. read more

So I decided to give this place another try. Still the sign that says no cover but yet you have to buy a drink at entrance. We pleated with the guy at door and he let us in. We purchase at the inside bar two vodka sodas which the charge $32 and it was cheap vodka and no alcohol at all. The drink only tasted like water. We complain to the bar tender and he ignore us. We complained to the guys that let us in and they said to wait and never came back with anything. This place only has good music but the drinks and customer service aweful and a decieving place. Don't waste your time coming here. read more

Worst bar ever. I had just checked into the bar and a bartender "Daniella" told me to either buy a drink or get out! Not only did she tell me individually but each of my friends!! This place was also super empty. Seems like they were begging people to come in. So ridiculous would not ever return! I wish I could give them 0 stars! read more

Plain and simple, avoid getting frustrated. We passed by it a couple of times and even though it always seemed a little dead, my husband to be and I decided to give this place a chance because we like to try new places and give local businesses an opportunity. It was Saturday around 7:00 PM. There was only one couple sitting outside & empty inside. DJ playing good music by the door. Waited at the entrance for a few minutes, hostess never came. We went inside, 3-4 waitresses talking to bar tender (they never acknowledged our presence either). Went back outside again, WE had to look for hostess and ask where to sit. We sat, waited once again. We left. HORRIBLE SERVICE! Well, actually NO SERVICE AT ALL:( If I could give no stars that would be my rating. read more

We had a great time with our friends. I would have given this place 5 stars if our server was a little nicer. She was attentive but she just had a terribly stand offish attitude. The music was great, the food was amazing and the entertainment was great. read more
