    The DJ and VJ
    Kiaresh M.

    Yesterday, I went to Bar Nancy for the first time. If you have never been there before, there are three things you should know when you walk in there: it is loud, it is dark, and it is small. Well, not super small. It is not a hole in a wall, but in comparison to some the other places I have been to, it is on the smaller side. On your left side is bar that will not have an empty seat. I promise you that. But the rest of the place has tables and if you get there early early enough, you should be able to find a place to sit down. On the other end, there is a stage, which last night had a DJ who played 70s and 80s songs while showing the videos of the songs (along with some throw back commercials) on the big screen behind them. The first couple of hours, they mostly played slow songs. But they picked up the pace and they got everyone up from their seats and dancing, to all sorts of music from that era, from disco to new wave, pop, hard rock, hip hop, and thing else that was ever popular during those days. Many songs that I had never heard before. It was awesome. By the way, there is no dance floor, you just have to find a few feet between you table and the one next to you and dance there. If you would like some private time, behind the stage, on the way to bathroom, there is a room with nice couch for those who need private time. Also, there are two bathrooms. Both private and unisex bathrooms. A relatively large rooms that you can lock the door behind you. I don't even want to know how many people who REALLY wanted to be private entered these rooms together. Overall, the service was good. I didn't try the food. All and all, my group had an amazing time. Thanks Bar Nancy.

    Casual spot on Calle Ocho that doesn't offer much to the eye. Nautical theme and live music bring the crowd in but not much entices to stay. Didn't have any food but drinks were what you'd expect for Miami.., but this was not a hit Miami spot. Moscow mule and amaretto sour both reaching at 14/15$. Inside is dark and not relatively large of an area but plenty of seating. Bouncer and bartender were super friendly so that was a plus. Depends on what you'd like for a bar, but this did not do it for me. I was in/out in 20 minutes. So I say if you'd like to be considered a regular, then this is your spot to go.

    I had this place saved for a long time and this Friday we finally went! My friends and I had an amazing time. We listen to the music that they had with some DJs playing songs from the 80s and believe it or not and I absolutely loved it. The drinks were fabulous that old-fashioned I had it was so good! The service was on point. Our waiter was amazing. She helped us with everything we needed with an amazing attitude. As you can read, I had a great time!

    When you walk into Bar Nancy, especially if it is still daylight outside, you may want to take moment for your eyes and ears to adjust. Not only it is dark and you won't see anything initially, but the vibration of the music bouncing off the walls is enough to knock you off your feet. But after a few seconds, you take a look around and you know you are in the right spot. The decoration and the ambiance is fully nautical, from the small statues to paintings and murals and even the port hole on the back door, which I am told it was an actual port hole of a respectable sailing vessel. I not sure if the intended affect was that of a ship or a submarine from a Jules Verne novel. Either one works. There is a bar on the left hand side, and of course all the specialty cocktails have nautical references, from "Skipper's daughter" to "we're gonna need a bigger boat". The rest of the floor is covered with tables and chairs until you reach the stage at the end. There is usually a band or a DJ playing, and by the end of the night, no one is typically sitting down. Everyone is standing up and dancing by their tables. There is a room with comfortable sofas right behind the stage, and two unisex bathrooms in the back. The backdoor supposedly leads to a courtyard with a Tiki, but I didn't get to go there. I was having too much fun dancing to the music inside. Next time.

    Celebrated a friend's birthday on their Disco night. In my experience Disco nights involve a couple of Donna Summer songs and a Bee Gees song then the music switches to current music and latin beats. Not here! They are true to the Disco music and played only true, original Disco songs. We arrived a little before 8pm and there were less than a dozen people there. Within an hour that has tripled and in two hours the dance floor was so packed it spilled out to every corner. The service was wonderful despite the crowd. Evie and the other server were attentive and checked on us and bussed the table throughout the night. Disco night is the first Friday of the month. Would love to check out their other theme nights. The cocktail list was extensive and all nautical themed- the skipper's daughter, we're gonna need a bigger boat and other fun names. They can make anything and had La Rubia beer- a favorite of mine. It is definitely a place I will visit again and again.

    Overall very low key but hidden gem . Ben thé own is mad laidback and knows how to sling drinks that is for sure . Old school vibe all the times when it comes to the music but great place for a convo or to catch up with a friend.Did I mention happy hour every day of the week .Safe to say its home base sometime for a Quick libation.Oh and the food is good but it's also next door to sangwich so you do have the best of both worlds.Go give it a shot

    Large space with a cozy backyard. I have been here a few times and it's always fun. It feels like a local spot. Staff is really friendly and good. They always have nice bands playing or fun events. Only small issue is that there's no parking only street parking. Good is that you don't need to bother to pay for it as nobody comes check that here as far as I know (: There's 2 unisex bathrooms.

    Came during Happy Hour. Cool, dark and pirate ship vibe bar is definitely a go to. I think the bartender is the owner or manager and he was fantastic. My cousin ordered the "I don't know what I want" and gave him his taste preferences. His drink was DELICIOUS. the drinks have hilarious names and are wonderfully crafted. Definitely a go to for HH since everything is 1/2 off.

    I must say for my first time coming in here and loving everything from the drinks to to the environment takes a lot ... I would recommend this to everyone I know.... And the owner was tending the bar!!! Love the hospitality

    Really love this place. Try to couple different drinks and they were all great. One of the few places in Miami that actually has cider, so that was great. Bartender Joshua was phenomenal, even with dealing with insane drunk women. Actually got a signature cocktail that some form of filtered milk punch, taste like a Christmas Manhattan. Order the round of nugs as well, fine standard pubfair chicken nuggets. I would absolutely come back here in the future.

    Wonderful atmosphere

    See all

    Ask the Community - Bar Nancy

    Is there a parking lot nearby?

    There is street parking always available in the evenings.

    I would like to visit this place soon!! No conocía de éste espectacular lugar; donde se ofrecen conciertos de diferentes y variados grupos musicales !! Cuál es el próximo concierto y de qué agrupación o solista?

    I believe they have Ricky Vallido and the Hialeah Hillbillies on Friday night. Great band but the bar itself has crappy expensive drinks and the food is awful. If I go again I will drink coca cola and eat before going.

    Live music on sunday nights?!?

    Yes. However always check www.nancy305.com to see schedule of bands and nights with live musical performances.

    Is there a DJ every Friday? What music?

    DJ Marvel spins an eclectic mix of feel good grooves ranging from classic R&B, Hip Hop and classic sounds during Happy Hour on Friday nights.

    Happy hour deals?

    4-7 pm everyday, everything is half off except for the food.

    NBA finals tonight. Are there any TVs?

    No tv's

We ordered a ton, and right off the bat: if you love croquetas and empanadas, order extra. They're on the smaller side and come individually, but they are so good they disappear fast. The beef empanadas were a 10/10 perfectly seasoned and crispy. The chicken empanadas didn't hit the same for me, but the jamón croquetas? Absolutely insane. A must. For appetizers, the prawns al ajillo were delicious super flavorful and cooked perfectly. We also tried the grilled octopus, which was good, but not my favorite. It leaned a bit bland for my taste, even with the sauce. Now, the must-get: the carnitas with pickled onions. Easily one of the best dishes of the night so flavorful, tender, and perfectly balanced. For entrées, we had the ribeye steak and arroz con pollo, plus sides of tostones and yuca. Everything here delivered. The steak was cooked perfectly and seasoned just right not overly salty. The arroz con pollo was phenomenal, the kind of dish you could eat every single day. The tostones were crispy and tossed in garlic, which took the flavor to another level, and the yuca was melt-in-your-mouth good. I also ordered a mojito, which unfortunately was very watered down, I barely got any of that classic mojito flavor. Service overall was solid, especially considering how loud the restaurant gets it was honestly hard to hear each other at the table, so shoutout to our server for keeping everything straight. The appetizers came out quickly, back-to-back, which we loved. The only downside was the wait for the entrées they took quite a while after we finished the apps, even though we ordered everything at once. Overall, amazing food, great energy, and definitely worth going just be prepared for a lively (and loud) atmosphere.

We also partook in the Cuban Cigars that had such a delicious cilantro lime sauce paired with in an authentic Cuban cigar ashtray. The steak taco was also so scrumptious. It was served as a pair of two tacos with a shell that was a great texture that could be comparable to the steak itself. The bartender was super nice and approachable even when the bar began to fill up. It is noteworthy that due to more and more Miami construction, the view to the Miami river is undeniably obstructed. It makes me reminisce on the days when I would come to visit before the two new residential towers were built up. Is it the end of the world? No but it does influence where I take my guests from out of town moving forward in terms of city views and rooftop bars.
