It's not like I'm about to go on vacation and eat everything in sight. But I'm at the Miami airport waiting to board my flight to my final destination and this little stand looked promising. Knowing that we're not about to get served not even a drink or snack on this short flight to the Caribbean, we decided to treat ourselves to something easy. Staff was very friendly as we picked out two pastries. Not sure what exactly what they were (here's to adventurous eating!) but they turned out to be similar to cheesy warm empanadas, $3 each. YUMMMY. Gimme 10 of them. Next time I'm in this terminal, I'll grab some. read more

Mediocre Mojito all Ice at an outrageous price. AVOID! The service folks are fine but it's a total abuse charging $21 for a mediocre Mojito all Ice. read more

Bacardi Rum Bar & Grill - Airport Robbery!! - Caribbean Near Me - Miami, Florida

So, this little spot was right across from American gate D55. While waiting hours for our flight we got hungry, so we looked at the menu here and decided to give them a try. We tried the cheeseburger, the Cuban sandwich, the grilled chicken sandwich, and the kids chicken sliders. Each of us chose Caesar salad as our side, except the six-year-old who got a single can of Pringles chips and a juice box with his meal. The salad was really good. Each of the entrees was good. Portions were appropriate and prices were fair for an airport location. They do add 18% gratuity automatically to the bill. As I've mentioned before, whenever this is the case, I do not tip above the mandatory amount. It's a pet peeve of mine after having worked really hard for my gratuities as a food server in my younger days! I'm always happy to tip generously, if deserved, when given the choice. read more

Bacardi Rum Bar & Grill - Even though we're not drinking, we thought the food menu looked good; so let's give it a try... - Caribbean Near Me - Miami, Florida

I love a good bar out of airport, and this is one not only is in Miami but it's a Bacardi rum bar. The drinks are expensive, but they are very yummy. I like the atmosphere of this bar makes you feel that you're not at the airport, however, is very small. The bartender was very nice and fast to give him my drink. If you are in Miami airport, please stop at this bar I believe is by Gate D 40. read more

Bacardi Rum Bar & Grill - Passion fruit Mojito - Caribbean Near Me - Miami, Florida

On my way back from Aruba, we had a layover in Miami. With a little time to kill for dinner, our options were limited and we eventually opted for Bacardi Rum Bar & Grill. Ambiance (3.5/5): While a rum bar always sounds like a good time, I was interested in food at the time. You can either sit at the bar or in their sit-down area where you'll have a waiter. It's a relatively small restaurant and looks like your typical airport restaurant. You can also order your food to-go up front. Service (5/5): We ordered at the counter but ended up sitting in the sit-down area as we didn't understand the set up at first. I'm not sure if it was intentional or an accident, but the cashier hooked us up with some freebies with a smile. Much appreciated! Drinks (4.5/5): Naturally, Bacardi is the way to go. They have 10 or so mojitos on the menu so this is what I went with. The bartender had a heavy pour which is always appreciated. Food (4/5): The food exceeded my expectations for airport food. My dad and I split some bone-in wings. The wings were a good size, juicy, and fried just right. While they have several sauce options, this was a little bit of a letdown as the sauce was served on the side rather than being tossed in it. I also got a chicken empanada which was delicious. Awesome that there was some Cuban food on the menu as this is exactly what I wanted in Miami. Overall: For the airport, this is a solid choice (for both food and drinks). read more

The Bacardi Mojito Bar in the Miami Florida International Airport is a fun little spot to take advantage of when delayed! There are several Bacardi flavors to try that you may never have seen. Our waiter was really nice and we had some fun cocktails while we waited out our massive flight delays!! One thing to take note of is all dining/drinking locations in the airport add gratuity automatically no matter if it is 1 person or 15 people! They do not tell you anywhere!! So check your bill before you leave 40% tip!!! read more

Edit: this is for the MIA airport location I had about an hour to kill before my flight, and I decided to check this out since it was near my gate. This area has very limited seating, so don't try to dine there with a large group you're traveling with. On the flip side, if it's just you or a couple other people, it's got a great view of outside to watch the planes. They also have lots of outlets if you need to do any work. The food here was great! I really enjoyed my wings and the chips were kettle cooked. The margarita was super strong and tasty; however, for the size and price (no price was listed on the menu, I believe the drink was $15-$17) I think that was extremely expensive for the size drink you got. I would definitely eat here again, but I would 100% skip out on the alcohol. read more

One of the more affordable options in the airport. They have a wide selection of typical grab-and-go snacks and drinks along with their full menu. We ordered the Strawberry Spring Salad (with fruits, nuts, blue cheese, etc.) which is very light and fresh, the Ham & Cheese Empanada and the Spinach Empanada which were delicious, but we wish there were more filling. Highly recommend if you don't want just the usual sandwiches or Caesar Salad. Our total order was about $21. read more

Idk what's up with other reviews??? Best drinks, food, and service that I've had at an airport bar. Mojitos and hurricanes were STRONG and well crafted. Food was inexpensive for airport food and tasty. Mark was a great bartender. Go here first! read more

Great place to stop for a drink and some food if you have a layover. The drinks are outstanding and the food is ok. Lots of variety and the server was friendly. I had a breakfast empanada and a beef empanada. Loved the beef. The breakfast was ok. The Puerto Rican Breakfast was my favorite drink. It was very refreshing and spiked to perfection. read more

Bacardi Rum Bar & Grill - Caribbean Near Me - Miami, Florida

Ok Bacardi Rum bar for breakfast? No it wasn't like that especially me flying on a trip to Bahamas for business. The good news is to get a quick bite right across from my gate. Hey this is Miami so you know the coffee will be great aka rocket fuel. So I get my long time favorite cortodito. It is short and sweet and packs a punch that I need since I woke up at 4AM. I highly recommend you stop at this place across from your gate makes it oh so convenient. Would definitely get another star if it was any other time of day. There is numerous choices in the Airport but this did the job for now. read more

I was extremely surprised that this place had such delicious food. We started with a morning beer........Yes, as this was the end of a wonderful 11 day vacation ;) We started with the Empanadas with Ham, Egg & Cheese along with the fruit salad. As per the pictures, both were tasty and delicious. If you are in this area of the airport, you must try as they are delicious! We then had had the wings, which were again, surprisingly delicious. As per the picture, you get 6 wings and a nice amount of wing sauce along with a generous amount of celery. We ended with the Caesar Salad. This was without a doubt the feature of our meal. The dressing was tone of the best I've tasted as this was not Caesar dressing. It was a culinary delight!!!! If you are this area of the Miami Airport, this is a must try restaurant! Bon Appetit! read more

John is amazing! He handled everything with such grace even when it was busy as all heck. I didn't eat the food but the service was clearly done by professionals and by a wonderful mixologist!! You may have to wait a minute to order (if it's busy) but that's how it works when places are busy, that being said, John will work hard to make sure you get what ya need! read more

During a recent layover in Miami International, in search of a bite to eat, we ended up at the Bacardi Rum Bar & Grill. As always, when in Miami, I have to get my empanada fix! Lucky for me, they had some on their menu. I ordered one chicken and a spinach & cheese. They both had a nice flaky crust and were overall good except they were lacking in the filling. Given this is a Bacardi Rum Bar, we also ordered a couple of mohitos to pass the time. We ordered an original and a limon. Not the best mohito I've ever had, but they were actually good and I would stick to the original. Prices were reasonable given it's in the airport. Our server was also really friendly and also seemed to be constantly smiling. I guess I would be too if I lived in Miami. This is a good option if you have a craving for empanadas, but if you have more time, it's best if you walk on over to La Carreta or Versailles. read more

Bacardi Rum Bar & Grill - Tiki Dream! Really yummy! - Caribbean Near Me - Miami, Florida

From Kiosk to Hole in the Wall..The Rum Bar is a great way to spend those few hours of layover before the airline loses your luggage, your sanity, and your desire to actually go home after your holiday. I was here last year when it was just a kiosk and the bartender was the friendliest, sweetest and the lovliest of ladies to serve drinks. Keep in mind that it's still an airport bar located by the American Airlines island hopping wing, but it does what it's supposed to do. Offer you that distraction, so you forget how poorly planned the airport is, how badly you don't want to go back to work at home and most importantly, if you're headed to your holiday vacation, it is a great way to start your festivities. Ok, you have your standard Mojito, the Dragonberry Mojito and Island style drinks. Who cares...it's not any cheaper than on the plane itself, but the bathroom is much closer and not as cramped. All you care about at this stage is just drinking, trying to kill those hours while the Sweet, sweet rum kills what's remaining of those silly brain cells. You don't need it really...you're either going on Holiday or you're going back home and eventually back to work. Might as well let them die the slow death that they deserve. So, if you're stuck at MIA...have a good drink and have it here. read more

Food is fair, service was great. Kat took very good care of me and my friends. Mojitos are the best made with Bacardi. But i didnt see their new flavor which is banana, to die for. read more

In the airport, it's notorious for having expensive food. This restaurant has very affordable food choices. A personal favorite are the turkey sliders with a side cesar side for $7. The sliders have, pesto, mozzarella cheese & a slice of tomato. On the side, the house cesar salads which comes with a delicious cheesey sauce. So good, best food in the airport for the price. read more

Bacardi Rum Bar & Grill - Caribbean Near Me - Miami, Florida

Delicious beef empanadas, one of the best at the airports. Can't wait to try the mojitos next time they looked delicious.

It is $14.06 to get a Mojito here. You are in an airport, not at the fancy hotel in South Beach. I think that is just too much. Was just in Cuba, on layover to NYC. Many restaurants in Cuba give welcome mojitos, or charge $2-3. Ok, that's Cuba where Havana Club costs $7 a bottle. I happen to like Bacardi too. But this airport bar charges too much. And they have the tip suggestion of $2.80 printed on the bill. Too much. read more

Great place to have a pit stop before heading out of the airport or before you board. There is plenty of staff and they work hard. I always saw someone doing something, which I love. I had a mojito, since its signature. I'm not a rum drinker, and I don't like my drinks sweet. The bartender hooked me up how I like it. I also had a beef empanada. Wasn't impressed, tasted like it came from a box. Which it probably did. Moving on. The rest of the menu actually looks really good. This is chef Lorena Garcia's restaurant, but God, I hope she doesn't stand behind that empanada. The small bites and main "creations" were fresh sounding and looking. Next time I will try a salad or wings because they really looked damn good! This place gets me excited about landing in Miami, seafood and mojitos read more

Hands down, the absolute most tender, fall off the bone wings I have ever had. And from an airport restaurant, I was shocked. The black bean and jalapeño hummus is just as good. If you're down around gate D-60... make sure you stop in and give them a try. Wow! read more

I had the turkey pesto sliders 2 for $6.99 and comes with a side salad. I also for the Tiki alcoholic drink. I definitely underestimated how much alcohol there actually was in it. The bartender was definitely generous with the alcohol. The service was great read more

I opted for the house Mojito on a short layover... Actually, I wound up bringing it with me for the flight home. I had heard good things about this place and I miss that the original Mojito bar isn't at the airport anymore. That place was great and even had the sugar cane stalk in the Mojito. $11 for a standard Mojito at that old bar, but it tasked like it. This new spot was so-so. $9 for a Mojito and it didn't have much rum in it, plus it was too sour. A friend ordered his as a double ($15 though) and said that fixed the issue and was great. Oh well, live and learn. Bottom line. I've had way better and expect more for the price. read more

Had a fairly nice lunch eating here while at the airport. It wasn't super outstanding but it was good enough as a quick bite. I recommend getting the veggie bowl. It has a good combination of veggies plus rice and beans for vegetarians. read more

Bacardi Rum Bar & Grill - Veggie bowl. - Caribbean Near Me - Miami, Florida

Knowing that we were going to have a layover in MIA around dinner time, my husband had scoped out a few places to go. He had his eye on Lorena Garcia's place but we were not sure if we would find it. As we stumble towards our gate on the last leg of our long travel day we were worried we were going to be relegated to fast food which we had done so well at avoiding while on vacation. Then we found the oasis. We sat ourselves and quickly and began to peruse the menu. I decided on the Shrimp Ceviche wrap and my hubby selected the Jerk Chicken over greens. Both were light and not too heavy of a meal for our last flight home. While the drink menu was very enticing, we passed and both ordered water to rehydrate. If we knew the torturous evening we were going to descend into as we approached the gate, we may have rethought those Mojitos. read more

Ordered an original mojito and a jerk chicken with salad. The mojito was good, some lime, mint and rum, and I might've tasted a bit of sugar. It was a perfectly fine drink. The jury chicken salad was terrible, a small amount of chicken on a white-ish sauce with a lot of spices. The chicken by itself would've probably been fine, but the mixture of the salad with the dressing included was pretty bad. I know it is airport food but I am sure I can get better food somewhere else. Service was not great, took about 10 minutes to get any attention when the bar was empty in the afternoon. Only thing I liked about my trip here was the mojito. So come for drinks, sit at the bar to get attention, don't order food, or at least stay away from the jerk chicken salad. read more

Man I wish this place was every where. Just had the wings and they are fantastic. Sweet with a kick of heat. Perfect combo. I am watching the bar tender sling mojitos like there is no tomorrow. The movie cocktail comes to mind. Pretty hectic here right now but the staff is doing a great job keeping up. Guys and gals give this place a try if ever in the D concourse at miami airport. read more

Cheated on the Islander Grill to come here per a friend's recommendation, and I wasn't disappointed. Solid option in Terminal D as it offers a good mojito and good enough food. The decor is bright and modern, with a lovely view of the tarmac ;). Bathrooms are just a step away, so that's helpful. Prices are what you would expect for an airport bar...my mojito was twice the price of my sandwich. If you're a rum fan, this would be your place. read more

Had a 3 hour layover at gate D51 and this was the nearest thing in site. Ordered the salad with shrimp and jerk wings with mango glaze. The bar tender made me her own fruit cocktail minus the alcohol. It was delicious and refreshing. She used freshly crushed lines and strawberries. I love it. Cool point for me here. She recommended that I get the jerk sauce on the sides and not on the wings because it's too spicy. I opted against her decision. The wings were mild at best. I'm used to eating spicy Indian food so it's not a problem. All is all, the food was edible. The salad dressing smelled a little off but once I tasted it I had no complaints. The staff respects your space and is attentive. All in all I would get more food or drinks here. read more

We had a 4 hour layover and was pretty hungry. That morning we were up at 5 AM to catch our 8 AM flight from St Maarten. We only had coffee and a pretzel with a 2.5 hour flight staring at us. There were familiar restaurants at the Miami airport, but we opted for the Bacardi Rum Bar & Grill, at the airport website it is listed as the Casa Bacardi. My wife had the Tamales with Black Beans which she enjoyed immensely. I tried the Cuban Sandwich which had slices of roasted pork loin, brown sugar cured ham, cheese and crispy pickle on Cuban bread and french fries. It was a little dry, but very filling.The crispy pickle added another dimension to the sandwich. We aren't drinkers of rum, but the light beer on tap was enjoyable. read more

I am just a little mad. We always come here when one if us is flying out of Miami. And we always get mojitos. What a better way to say good bye to Miami than to experience the last drop of this sweet minty nectar? However lately, the drinks have been inconsistent. Today, it was so sweet I felt my teeth clinging. I sent it back (i never do that) and asked to remake it with less syrup. What i got back was a larger glass with club soda added. Common, as a bartender, if you screw up at least dump the drink and remake it, not recycle it. If you come to this bar, watch everyone. There is little trust to be left to the staff. read more

Surprisingly good bar with nice food. Bar tender Jasmine was very attentive and helpful. If you have to take a puddle hopper this is the go to spot in the airport. Has nice selection of healthy food choices. Nice! read more

This review is for the takeaway food spot adjacent to the restaurant. This oasis of good food is tucked away at the end of terminal D. Do yourself a favor and order their spinach or beef empanadas--They are amazing. Best ones in The airport and beyond. Pricey at $4+ but you get a great meal for it. Empanadas are baked, not fried. Ingredients are flavorful. Crust is flaky. I was transported to Buenos Aires with each bite. read more

If you're stuck at the Miami International Airport at the last gate on The Concourse this is your only option unfortunately. Ordered a chicken sandwich 80% bread 20% chicken. Caesar salad was okay and the sandwich would have been nice if it had some chicken on it but basically what they served was a large piece of ciabatta bread with some skinny little nothing chicken piece on it that didn't even cover the bread. Very expensive not a very good value typical airport food eat there at your own risk. Beer was cold service was okay wasn't the waiters fault I feel the chef created a bread lettuce and tomato sandwich with a small chicken flavor. Chicken was definitely not the main ingredient in this show seem like there was more lettuce tomato and bread than anything else. read more

Stopped in here for drinks and appetizers while walking the Miami deco district and checking out the beaches and shops. There are plenty of places down this stretch that you can stop to eat and drink, but this one appealed to us because there was no loud booming music to annoy you during your relaxation time ;) They have tables along the sidewalk, so plenty of people watching while you sit and relax as well :) Prices were reasonable. read more

Worst sandwich ever. Had a chicken sandwich but it only had about an 8th of a chicken breast in it. It consisted mainly of cibatta bread. Fruit salad tasted like canned fruit with a few pieces of fresh. The server was great but the bartender kept making others drinks and skipping over mine. The mojito and the server were the only 2 good things about this place. Chef Lorena Garcia please fix this. read more

Worst experience ever! Slow, unprofessional and they use clear solo cups. Not only that but their back of the house operations are even worse. My food order took over 30minutes to get a flavorless turkey sandwich on a flattened mashed down wheat hoagie roll (their version of a ruban sandwich). It was cold and disgusting. My wings never arrived and we were forced to leave because we would have missed our plane. Don't bother stoping here. Keep walking to another venue! Absolutely horrible horrible operations. read more
