    Hadn't been here since before the pandemic and I gotta say this place hasn't lost its magic!! I took my son after school for the first time and he loved it, it was pretty empty so we essentially had the place to ourselves. The music they had on was good, the employees were very friendly.

    Arcade Odyssey is a fun lil spot to play arcade games, grab some drinks & snacks in Miami. We came here after being rained out of outdoor plans and it ended up being a fun time! The spot is small in an intimate way but heard that they have actually expanded over the years from one room to three. Although they've expanded, it still holds that intimate feeling. Stepping inside feels like stepping into a movie scene, with the games, lights and the windows being blacked out so you can't tell what time of the day it is outside. I've been to arcades before but none that give a nostalgic feeling quite like Arcade Odyssey. To use any of the games, you have to use their game cards which you fill up with their version of tokens which are flurbos. I filled mine up with $20 worth and I didn't even get close to using them all. They have a variety of games to choose to play, with something for everyone. To our surprise, they had a good amount of food, snacks, and drinks to choose from. They have a case of Japanese snackies in one room but in the other, they have a food menu, boba, beer, and ice cream. For food, we ended up getting the chicken fried rice & yakisoba. They serve them on styrofoam bowls which was a little odd but the food was actually pretty good. My favorite of the two was the yakisoba. They also serve Aubi & Ramsa ice cream (ice cream with alcohol) here. The price was really steep at $11 but I have a hard time saying no to ice cream, especially if its Aubi & Ramsa, so I got one. They have a good selection and when I can drink beer again, I'm excited to grab on on my next visit. Overall, a fun spot to hang out with friends & family or even take a date.

    Not free, but totally affordable game night! Perfect fun date night! No entry fee, you gotta load about $15-$30 each person onto a card and play like some big kids. Retro and new arcade games, pinball, and imported Japanese games that's fun for the whole family or a cute date night with your partner!! I didn't try any of their food or drinks but when I walked by the bar area, the young man was very friendly & super nice to us! They have a drink menu with lots of options!!

    What a fun time!! Excellent spot for a budget friendly date night!! Games tokens are purchased in bulk and put on a card. The more you buy, the more bonus tokens they give you! There's a pretty decent selection of IPAs and unique brews and fair priced! I loved the pinball machines and air hockey the most, but theres also PacMan and similar, dancing, racing, etc. Had a great time! Will definitely be back.

    I grew up going to Arcades and enjoyed all types of games. Unfortunately most of the arcades joints have ceased to exist due to online games, until my brother discovered Arcade Odyssey. Here you will fill like you just walked in to an episode of Stranger Things. The decor has many nods to cult films and a lot of classic games. They have a mini beer where you can buy locally brewed beers.

    Nice date spot! I went on a Friday night and it was pretty busy but the only game I had to wait to play for was air hockey (which is expected). This arcade sells beer, wine, sake and spiked bubble tea - I didn't get to try to the later but it looks really cool. I had Blake's Hard Cider Strawberry Lemondae (6.5% and tasty). To play, the amount of coins that you get is worth what you pay for. Most games are 2-3 coins and some of the more in demand ones are 4 coins. I paid $15 for the coins and my boyfriend and I were able to play for about 2 hours. Overall it is a unique concept and a good place to come with friends although it is not that big. My only suggestion would be to add more game type selections and some newer games (many were retro which is cool but I think some updated ones would take it next level!)

    I loved all the old games. That was so much fun. But it is very dirty. None of the hand sanitizer stations worked and the 2 girls working seemed very uninterested in being there. Especially with COVID and cold and flu season, there should have at least been working sanitizing stations.

    First I'll start to say how this is a great idea. A place where friends can go to play classic arcade games and drink. My friends and I were looking for a place to drink and have a good time, not necessarily go dancing or simply sit at a bar, but something interactive. Arcade Odyssey was exactly what we were looking for. The bar is relatively small and there is no hard liquor. They only have beer, sake and beatboxes. This isn't a bad thing because it makes it more family friendly, while the parents are having their fun the kids can also do their own thing. In addition I am a big beatbox fan, if you're planning on going definitely order a beatbox.

    I love this place. It's a retro-gamer's heaven. I've been here multiple times with my brother and also with my wife and son. Each time everyone's had fun. The owner has collected a vast amount of eclectic and rare imported arcade machines. He also has a VERY well stocked (also eclectic) bar selection - with lots of fine, strong, craft beer and even Mead! Very cool. Some of my favorite machines are: -The Japanese Drumming one -The Act - Interactive Comedy -Time Crisis (great workout with the pedals if you get into it!) -All the Pinball machines! (But mostly Guardians of the Galaxy, Star Wars and Metallica) On the beer scene they have everything from sours to meads to Imperial stouts, there's really something for everything. There's a small food menu too if you gotta get some grub with your games. Been here many times and will be back. I've heard the owner is expanding with even more sweet imports he has so looking forward to coming back. You'll play things here you've never seen before. It really captures the feeling of being in an arcade. Love it.

    Pinball machines- a whole wall of them!

    Arcade Odyssey in Miami is a laid-back haven for both gamers and anyone looking to unwind. Beyond the vibrant arcade games and craft beer lineup, they offer tipsy boba teas adding a unique twist to their drink selections. Snack-wise, they cater to a wide range of tastes, including Japanese snacks and drinks, perfect for those feeling a bit Otaku. This makes it an eclectic spot to enjoy a mix of entertainment, refreshments, and a cozy atmosphere that appeals to a diverse crowd. In all my years coming here, I've never once run into an employee that wasn't cool as heck with stellar service.

    Arcade Odyssey First time at Arcade Odyssey - took my 10 year old son to play some video games. The space felt a bit cluttered but the decor is cool. Not all the machines appealed to my 10 year old. He did enjoy the air hockey and the pinball machines, but the equipment is older and geared towards an older audience. GroupOn has a great deal for tokens if it's still available. If you're in the area it's a nice place especially if you're into the older style gaming systems. My husband had a great time because he is an avid retro-gamer. There is also a good beer selection that adds to the fun with flavors for everyone to try.

After an entire Saturday of dense course material, I didn't have it in me to explore the night life Miami has to offer. I found this place & it was the perfect vibe - super laid back. Music selection was decent when it was on a playlist (I think). There was a guy intermittently playing live music - he wasn't great & was way too loud, but I just put on my airpods and turned on the noise cancellation feature, which toned it down enough for me to enjoy the rest of the environment. Alex was the one who took care of me & picked out a flight of sours, that were all delicious. The dole pineapple one was probably my favorite in the flight; strawberry smoothie tasted great but the texture kinda threw me off (it was thick... like a smoothie lol). She recommended the chorizo and hot honey pizza - also great, especially when it was hot out of the oven. I probably shouldn't have tried to eat the entire thing on my own, but I did anyway. I'd come regularly if I lived in town :)

The vibe is always fun and relaxed, they've got awesome beer selections, and their karaoke and bingo nights make it even better.

    Of all the pizza places in Miami, this one is the closest to my house. It would really have been a…read morehome run if it was my favorite, but sadly it did not make it. Not that the pizza isn't good; it just isn't great. And it is not because of the ingredients as they all tasted fresh and delicious. It is the preparation. Now let me set some foundation here. I have lived in Rhode Island where pizza is a staple. I have lived in New York and Connecticut, which, despite being neighboring states have entirely different ideas of what the perfect pizza is, and I had the good fortune of the best of both. I have lived in Massachusetts we're outside of the north end of Boston pizza is largely very mediocre and I give all this information just to tell you that I have an established standard for pizza that may differ from other peoples. My favorites come out of coal fired brick ovens. So I was pretty excited about trying Strange Beast. They use a gas fired pizza oven that reaches the same temperatures as the ones to make apizza but they make a Neapolitan pie which traditionally has a soft center whereas Apizza is baked longer to achieve a sturdy, crispy crunch. And this is the part that disappoints me. That soft center does not hold the toppings well and makes the pizza droop when you pick it up. Much like the New York pizza that you have to fold over to keep the toppings from falling off, this pizza just did not have that firmness that I love so much. And on this evening when I ordered the Swamp Thing (Mozzarella, Ricotta, Red Onion, Cherry Tomatoes, Pesto) the center actually seemed raw. Somehow, despite having all my favorite flavors, it looked beautiful on the pan, but flopped over and lost its appeal when it was picked up the flavors all in all were pretty good. The restaurant itself has a pretty cool vibe and the servers were superb. In addition to grieving great service, they were friendly and engaging. This is kind of a highlight of the restaurant. This review is based on a single experience and I will probably try it again. I may ask them to cook the pizza well done to see if it comes closer to what I like. I can't give it my highest recommendation, but I would never give it less than four stars based on even the service alone. So I will be back again an update this sometime soon.

From the second you pull up the driveway, you are greeted by rolling rows of vines and an atmosphere that instantly makes you drop your shoulders and relax. It completely lives up to its name--the vibe is effortlessly mellow, sophisticated, and incredibly welcoming. Here is why this place has officially become my absolute favorite spot: 1. The Wine & Food Pairings are Masterful The culinary team here clearly works hand-in-hand with the winemakers, because the pairings are flawless. We started with a crisp, beautifully balanced white blend paired with an artisanal charcuterie board featuring locally sourced cheeses and a phenomenal house-made fig jam. For the main course, the slow-braised short rib literally melted off the bone, and when paired with their estate estate Syrah, it was pure magic. Every bite was an absolute home run. 2. Breathtaking Atmosphere & Ambiance The design of the restaurant strikes the perfect balance between rustic vineyard charm and modern elegance. We sat out on the covered patio, which offers sweeping, unobstructed views of the vineyard. As the sun began to set, they lit the fire pits and turned on string lights, creating an incredibly romantic, warm glow across the entire space. It's the kind of environment where you just want to linger for hours over dessert and another bottle. 3. World-Class Hospitality What truly elevates Mellow Grapes is the service. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable without an ounce of pretentiousness. They walked us through the tasting notes of each wine, shared the history of the vineyard, and gave us brilliant recommendations based on our personal palates. The pace of the meal was perfect--we never felt rushed, yet we were perfectly looked after the entire evening. The Verdict Mellow Grapes is an absolute gem. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, planning a perfect date night, or just want to treat yourself to an exquisite meal and fantastic wine, this place delivers on every front. The passion behind the food, the wine, and the hospitality is evident in every single detail. I'm already counting down the days until my next visit. Cheers to the team for creating such a spectacular experience!

It was the outstanding service and the friendliness of the owners that blew me away. With that said, here we go... This is a very small, cozy, and might I add, SUPER CUTE place hidden away down south behind Tamiami Airport. This is the only reason why I think people have claimed that it is "dead." If this place were located anywhere else, it would be hopping every night of the week. Despite the small space, they have managed to decorate it beautifully and given it a real sports bar feel. They have TV's everywhere and the bar area is awesome. They have 2 small tables outside for those that would prefer outdoor dining but honesty, I would rather be inside because it is THAT cute! Now on to the drinks - they only have a beer/wine license but they make up for it by having some great wine and beer selections on hand. The Coronas come out so damn cold you have to wonder where they are storing them. Icy, refreshing, and ready to hit the spot! There is nothing like a real COLD ONE to accompany a basket of chicken wings and cheese fries! Their Pinot Grigio is very good and next time I go (oh, I WILL be back) I will make sure to sample the other wines they have. We were a group of 18 people and the owner was constantly checking in on us and the minute he saw a beer bottle reaching its end, he would come out with another one. My glass of wine was always full - I am hoping this is a good omen for things to come in 2017 :) Later in the evening, his wife, which is also the cook, came out and introduced herself. These are wonderful, hardworking people that aim to please. I love going to these small, mom & pop places that give you unparallel service and quality of food. They have a vested interest and it shows. Because we were such a large group, we ordered a bit of everything. Cheese fries, every type of wings on the menu, chicken fingers, sliders, and they even accommodated our request for a vegan dish. Everything was delicious. The sliders on Hawaiian bread were soooooo good! Their menu is varied and they have something for everyone. They welcome any special request with a smile. If they have the ingredients on hand, believe me, they will make it for you. If it is not on the menu, do not hesitate to ask them - if they can do it, they will! Don't feel like feeding the jukebox but have a special request? No worries, just tell the owner and he will blast it for you. Wanna dance? No problem! Tables will be moved to accommodate your butt shaking. Want to host a private party? they got your back. Want them to cater your next event? They can do that too! Oh, how I wish this was closer to my home - but it is close enough to my job so I am foreseeing many a happy hour in 2017!

The branding talks like barrel-aged farmhouse philosophy, but the tap list walks in with beach-ready chancletas. If the name matched the products, Unseen Creatures Hard Seltzery might fit better, since buzzy bubble water seems to be the most common style on offer. Beyond the seltzers, the board leans on a rotating lineup of lagers, IPAs, and amber drafts, with a heavy presence from Prison Pals, a local contract-brewery. Half the to-go cans also come from Prison Pals, and the staff, management, and menu carry a strong Argentinian identity. At this point, Unseen Creatures feels less like a wild-ale temple and more like the spiritual revival of the old Prison Pals operation in Doral. My first visit started with an Uber Eats BOGO order, but only half the meal was ready. Rather than hover like rabid raccoons, we grabbed beers and waited. Then the moral crisis arrived: let the perfectly smashed burgers cool, or eat them while at their best. Five minutes passed, and we chose the latter. That decision sent the manager into referee mode. Had he carried a whistle, he would have blown it. Had he kept cards in his pocket, he'd have flashed us a pair of reds. Apparently, the smashburger BOGO applied outside but not inside. Fair enough, but if the fries had come out on time, we never would have spent money at the bar in the first place... That said, the Bodeo Burger slapped: two smash patties, a sunny-side-up egg, and a brioche-style bun. In a city currently under siege by smashburgers, this one still earned a clean 10 out of 10. When I asked for the check, the screen showed extra tip options of +3%, +5%, or +7%. I looked at it like I had just caught a magician palming my watch. Apparently, some banter and snug-fitting yoga pants had earned her a healthy self-applied tip. Usually, I go back one screen and adjust the number based on the severity of the sneak attack, but I let it ride. We all have dreams, bills, and maybe health-wellness coaching certifications to fund. Unseen Creatures pours solid beers and boasts a killer kitchen, but the brewery still needs to decide whether it wants to be a wild-ale house, Prison Pals reboot, or a haven for hard-seltzerists.
