7/11/22 - Drink Menu
Brie F.

Woooah there the drinks we ordered were sweet and had us leaning like crackheads after a few sips. Barely made it back to our hotel without me slipping out of my TB chancleta . 3 stars because the kitchen was closed way too early in the day. It wasn't like we decided to get a drink after hours.

Grilled chicken with pineapple slice

Thanks to Yelp, I found this little gem. Located behind the Marseilles hotel, you can order food to go and immediately walk out a few steps to the beach to enjoy your meal. The bartender was so kind. Didn't catch his name, but he had a beard and was just so chill. Great service! The grilled chicken sandwich was juicy and the patty was large! It included a thick slice of grilled pineapple. The cheese fries really hit the spot!

Espresso martini
Laura J.

Amazing drink specials and guac on happy hour. We sat at the bar and had good service, we also sat outside and didn't have good service. The espresso martini was delish and the margs were too. Cute front patio to people watch in the afternoons.

Avocado, corn & tomato salad. Added impossible patty. It's vegan!

VEGAN REVIEW Ate here both at the bar & beach service. GREAT drinks. Friendly bartenders. As for the bar, fun vibe. We were there on a very busy weekend (hotel was hosting an event), so it was hard to flag down our server-- shout out to Amanda, the hardest working girl in South Beach! At the beach, I think it's just 1 server for the whole section! So again, our girl AMANDA was hustling. They do a pretty good take out set up for you. There are a handful of vegan options. Had the impossible burger & the avocado corn salad. The sweet potato fries are really good! If you are staying at the Marseilles, I definitely recommend hanging here at least 2 days-- one poolside, 1 beachside. So much amazing people watching, comfy seating & good music.

Chicken burger
Claire S.

To be honest, I wasn't expecting much when I ordered this sandwich on the beach. However, it was absolutely delicious! The chicken was grilled nicely and not dried out, and the pineapple, tomato and lettuce were all fresh. The Backyard itself is a very cute space with tables where you can order and dine. I opted for beachside service, which took a bit of time, but the food was excellent. I was pleasantly surprised, and I'd recommend checking it out if you're in South Beach.

Oh I love this place. We stopped in for food and drink on our way to South Beach as we waited on friends to arrive. It is located behind Marseilles Beachfront Hotel and has a unique vibe. Although it is a bar it has some non traditional bar fare. I had the Crab sliders nd Truffle fries both were great. We also had wings at the table and BBQ chicken pizza. Only con was that the sweet potato fries were not seasoned and not really very warm. Service was good and drinks were very cold and refreshing. There is also a pools area and cabana type rooms.

tables, chairs, and umbrellas

Great place located right across the beach! Pleasant atmosphere with different kind of entertainment. Also suitable for kids! Had a few drinks while waiting for check in our hotel. Service was great! If you like making nice photos, this place offers "interesting backgrounds" . Recommend!

Arron is the BEST!

Semi private event at backyard bar.
Tori G.

This review is for the events team! We had a very short notice semi private event for 70 people and the process was incredible. The team was so positive, helpful, and seemingly glad to have us. From planning to day-of, all details were so easy and clear. The food was amazing and the cocktails were a hit for our group. Our group had an amazing time. I highly recommend working with the team on hosting an event at backyard.

Why I'll go back: Solid cocktails in space with a low-key, loungey vibe…read more You HAVE to order: pick your poison Tony's Tip: no food here. Prep accordingly. Down the street from Stubborn Seed and around the corner from Carbone, you'll find a cocktail bar mid-block that is so understated it will actually pique your curiosity. Is this place open? What's in there? What's up with that name? Yes, it's open - and very late! Inside, you will find a wide variety of cocktails and a smoky coolness waiting. And the name? Dang! - I forgot to ask. Homework for my next visit. Following an early dinner, the lady and I enjoyed a couple of drinks around 8:30. We were the only ones in the place, which still felt cozy. Learned a lot about the group that owns this spot from our friendly bartenders. Drinks were good, the playlist matched the loungey vibe, and the prices were in line with what you'd expect (gratuity included). Overall, a nice early nightcap. We did pop our head in last year around 10:00 p.m., and the place was ramping up. I've no doubt it's a great scene the later you get.

We were looking for a place to grab pre dinner drinks, and were lucky enough to stumble upon…read moreScapegoat. A truly great spot with friendly, extremely experienced and knowledgeable bartenders (Nate and Stephen). 10/10 drinks and service. We were reluctant to leave for our dinner res! They don't take the simple things for granted- GO HERE. We will be back every time we are in Miami.

Great nostalgia and drinks but their gratuity practice is a serious problem…read more I stopped by Wet Willie's out of nostalgia during my most recent visit. Years ago I'd come here after the beach, sit on the balcony, people-watch, and cool off with a strong, frozen drink. In that sense, the place is exactly as I remember, with cold drinks on a hot Miami day and a fun atmosphere. Unfortunately, the billing experience completely changed how I felt about our visit. When the check arrived, I noticed the suggested tip percentages were unusual (around 7%, 8%, and 9%). I was planning to leave my normal 20% tip, but then the gentleman behind the bar explained that a 15% gratuity had already been added and the listed percentages would be additional. To be clear: I always tip, and I generally tip well. But adding a gratuity without authorization or clearly disclosing it up front is a big deal. A tip is supposed to be voluntary, and quietly including one, especially in a setting where you're already prompted to add more, feels misleading and wildly inappropriate. That part honestly overshadowed the visit for me. The drinks and the memories are still there, but check your bill carefully before paying. I enjoyed the nostalgia, yet this practice alone makes me hesitant to return. This practice of discretely tipping themselves is borderline theft.

I have been going here for years. It's always been a great place to hang out and have some drinks…read more Nice cool atmosphere located in South Beach. Service was outstanding.

This is the place to stumble into! Don't waste your time walking in front of everything looking in…read moreeach bar to see an empty row of barstools. This place is popping! Thursday night is Karaoke and the people in here can sing. You can tell this is a place the locals actually go to. I didn't try the food so I can't speak on that but the drinks were strong and the prices are good, you aren't going to be super overcharged like everywhere else. It's only a block off the beach as well! Tons of pool, video games, and two bars in two connected building. One side is a dance side the other side is a gaming fun side! The bar tenders were great and really took the time to make you feel welcomed! I will visit this place every time I come back to Miami!

We went here with my friends, and the food was great and the female bartender was super nice, but…read morewhen we went to play pool, you have to buy an arcade card. the arcade card was $5 for 15 "points" We got 15 points and the pool table cost 8 points. We went to the bar to explain that the pool table was broken and they it was fine. When we closed out they charged us $20 for one game of pool. I have been to high-end clubs where it's less than that. This nasty bar charged us $20 to play one round of pool when the pool table next to us that unfortunately was occupied only paid equivalent of $3. That is robbery and discrimination & will not be coming back here ever again. I recommend staying away from this bar. Maybe it has to do with the fact that we were only gay people in there. Avoid it all costs, I love a loud bar scene, but I couldn't even hear my friend standing next to me. The energy was not good with the exception of the female Argentianian bartender who is quite kind, but whoever we closed out with was quite rude. 0 stars if I could. We want our money back.
