I went to the Bend at 2 AM on Saturday the 24th. I used to come here all the time pre-covid (7-10…read moretimes). I got checked by the security guard at the front and he seemed very nice. I proceeded to walk inside and I found a seat at the bar and I sat there. There were some people in there and I definitely wouldn't say it was dead, but it also wasn't crazy busy. There was three people working one lady with red shorts and curly hair another lady with blue pants and straight hair and then a short guy. I later seen a taller guy as I was leaving, he was not involved in my experience. The lady with the straight hair and the guy were on the side I was on they kept walking past and at no point seeing if I wanted anything, I know some bars you have to get the bartenders attention instead of them checking what you want so after 8minutes, I attempted to get the female's attention a few times for a few minutes and it did not work (she did serve other people during that time and was having conversation with ppl). Eventually, the lady with curly hair came to my side to make someone on her side's drink. I asked if I could order a drink and she motioned to give her a minute. She went back to her side, made the person's drink, then took some new orders from people and made their drinks and served beers.I waited over 6 minutes. Eventually she came to the side I was on and took the order of the person sitting directly to my right, completely ignoring me. At which point I concluded I was not going to get any service in this establishment and decided to leave after a total of 17 minutes of sitting at the bar and being completely ignored. I try to self reflect and think if I did something to warrant this treatment but I couldn't think of anything. The only thing that makes me feel slightly better is there was a guy sitting to my left that had a cup already and he kept trying to get her attention and she seemed to be avoiding him. I'm not sure if everyone was avoiding him for some reason and I was just unlucky for sitting next to him. I hated the feeling that this experience left me with and I hope no one else has this experience. The DJ was pretty good, even playing a few minutes of Reggae which surprised me. I ended up going to the Seminole Classic Casino and got service as soon as I sat down. The DJ was playing R&B and I ended up tipping him he was so good.

I was especially excited because during Christmas time it was decorated as a Grinch-themed bar, which was super cute and festive. The drinks were very pretty and well-presented, but flavor-wise they just didn't really do it for me. The music also kind of threw me off -- it was much more vulgar than I expected, which I know fits a younger Miami vibe, but it felt like a bit much for my taste and didn't match the holiday theme I was excited for. The bartender seemed a little uninterested, and I wasn't a fan of the cocktails being pre-made, which took away from the experience for me. Overall, I love the idea and creativity behind the space, but it just didn't fully land for me. Glad I tried it, just not somewhere I'd rush back to.

I truly enjoyed the shots it was nothing I've ever tasted and I went looking for the bottle in stores. It truly can be paired up to make a great old fashioned. I wasn't a fan of the marshmallow and iced chocolate drink. I didn't taste any liquor I was disappointed however, when I shared my feedback with the bartender I didn't enjoy it he made the drink elephant in the room which was wayy better. For a spot where the drinks are full price I expect to be truly impressed from the cocktail options.

The food did not come out fast, but was worth the wait. Cute decor and they also had entertainment starting later in the evening.

First of all, my girlfriends and I bought 4 tickets to see the show. No one was checking tickets at the door so we could have come without tickets at all. We felt like we were scammed from the get go. Second, service was just abysmal. It took almost 30 minutes just for the server to come see us. Then the bottle of wine we ordered ($50 for a bottle of Josh) took another 20 minutes to get there. No water. The food was almost inedible. I'm not a person who EVER sends things back but this time I did because the mofongo was so dry I couldn't even swallow it. And the burlesque show.... I will say there was a few cool moments but some parts felt very... lacking in taste. Definitely not worth the ticket and meal prices. For sure will not be coming back here.

I've been at Garrison once or twice before, plus heard good things about it from my friends at the gym. Last night was the monthly 80s night, with DJ Jorge Santana spinning the freestyle classics. You know tracks like from Stevie B., Coro, and Uncle Luke..the classics! The dance floor was packed, and some space was taken with a water to pool tables that the venue normally has. It's a great neighborhood bar in Miami Lakes, and they also have TVs and bar bites especially when there are big sports events. We didn't need anything since we had eaten elsewhere, but did have drinks. I kept it simple with a well blended and a full glass of rum & coke and my friend had a vodka and soda.

Strawberry and regular mimosas are hand poured, not premade in a batch! For an appetizer we ordered the Sicilian Arancini and however they make their bolognese sauce is soooo good. Hearty, flavorful and perfectly paired with the cheesy arancini's. The Traditional Eggs Benedict tasted freshly made, the hollandaise sauce was rich and creamy. The Israeli Crispy Chicken was my favorite!! The chicken was crispy, the meat was tender. The Matbucha with the Morrancan spices, tomato, roasted red peppers reminded me of a dish we ate in Sicily. So LOVED it! Both our eggs were poached to perfection, too. The service by Isaac was excellent! Attentive, but not overbearing, and friendly. Steph, the manager, was also the mixologist and she makes a mean Espresso Martini. Pricing is reasonable!

Considering cigars are a premier thing down in South Florida finding a place that has a great selection, well stocked bar, good vibes and food is a rarity..... A very well stocked humidor and welcoming staff make the difference. After finding a good stick I find a good spot to sit at the bar looking out to the outdoor patio and ponds out there. Friendly bar staff welcome you, get ur drinks timely and check up on you. Kitchen stays open til midnight so after having some late night wings one night then the next night tried their burger and was def behind just bar food Drink selection is good, even having some of the rums I rarely find outside of tiki and rum bars Absolutely a must if you're in the area!
