We went on a recent Friday night and sat in the live music room in the back. Very cool vibe, great friendly service all around and the live music was excellent. The singer, backed by a nice ensemble, belted out some great tunes in English, Spanish, French and Portuguese. The food was fresh and very good. Our server was friendly and attentive, and we really had a great time! We look forward to visiting again!

As we waited for a waitress, a fish dip and crackers "bread service" brought out, which was delicious. The mahi-mahi tacos with rice and beans were fresh and well-seasoned. For some reason, the rice and beans came out in little plastic cups which seemed unnecessary. Service was excruciatingly slow, and we felt neglected. It took at least 30 minutes to receive our meal after we ordered, and it took over 30 minutes after we finished our meal before the server returned.

We were a bit early to our reservation so we had to wait outside for the restaurant to open. They had a nice outdoor seating area with ashtrays and umbrellas. Once the restaurant opened, we were immediately seated and our server was with us shortly. I don't remember her name but she was very sweet and spoke both English and Spanish, which is perfect because my mom only speaks Spanish. She was very courteous and asked if we were here for a specific occasion. I told her it was my mother's birthday and we were there celebrating. We ordered drinks and the steak bites, which were sitting in a gravy like sauce which was amazing. The steak by itself was also well seasoned and delicious. I had an apple martini which was excellent as well and comes with a maraschino cherry. My mother had a margarita which she also quite liked. She and my fiancée ordered the skirt steak and I ordered the chicken francese. The steak was very good, perfectly seasoned, perfect temperature, and juicy. Despite ordering it well done, my mother's steak wasn't chewy or burnt. My fiancée had the same skirt steak medium well which I believe to be the sweet spot. The fries are excellent and well seasoned too. At the end, we ordered a très leches dessert and the waitress asked the band to play a jazz version of happy birthday, which we did not ask her to do but it was such a kind gesture and a very tasteful touch! The très leches was to die for! And to double down, they brought out complimentary raspberry tea to finish us off. The whole experience was made unforgettable by the team and I will be recommending this place to the people I know in the future. Thank you so much!

It's a neighborhood institution that has held its own for close to three decades. Is it pristine and sparkly on the inside? No. It's a dive bar for fuggs sake. Drinks are strong, music is loud, and vibes are vibing. If I've got friends visiting that aren't into the over-priced voids of Brickell and South Beach, you can bet Bougie's is where we're heading. The venue is a century old historic cottage that has a death grip on old school Miami charm, nestled within the heart of South Miami. The tree lined outdoor seating is a rare treat these days for a bar, and it's a great area to catch up with friends, particularly on their less busy nights. After taking advantage of their banging drink specials, be prepared to dance your pants off with their curated mix of weekly entertainment.

This is a hard 3 stars to give because musically it's an almost perfect 5 stars! I came here…read moreSaturday night with a lady friend. We went for the "Stevie B Spring Love Music Festival", a 4 hour celebration of classical music (if you lived in Miami or NYC between the 80s and 90s). Vivo is the outdoor entertainment area of Dolphin Mall, located near the parking garage (we were able to get a good spot) and their restaurant row (including Sports and Social as well as PBR Country Music Bar). We went General admission, and stood near the back to dance & go around the different restaurants. However, we still had a pretty good view of the stage. Audio was great as well, from both the musicians as well as my attempts to sing. "Spring Love, Come Back to Me" "Because I love you (the postman song") aka cortavena music "L.o.v.e" by Erotic Exotic If any of those songs bring back nostalgia then you're in the right place. So why only three stars? Well the three pop up bars they had in the area had a limited selection of drinks. I get it that a mojito is a little more complex to make in a concert setting , so I just enjoyed rum and cokes. However, they had no wine at any of the pop up bars. My friend - who's a wine drinker - tried her number2 choice but alas they didn't have Malibu rum either. This was also the case at the ventanita (the part of Sports and Social with the outside window directly at the concert area. Our culinary fortunes improved somewhat at the inside bar of Sports and Social where she got her wine and me my mojito. We also enjoyed ham croquettes and yuca fries from Sergio's (not my restaurant :) who apparently provides their late night menu. Another thing that could be better were the bathrooms. Both in the men's and women's the water pressure was low and both soap & paper towels ran out fairly early. Music 5/5 Food & Beverage (outside) 3/5 Food & Beverage (inside) 4/5

I've already paid to come in... but I digress. The food I tried has been good. I liked the nachos and the wings. Because of the drink minimum, I'm very selective on events and talent I want to see.

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.
