If there's one thing I love, that's a local neighborhood spot. Bar Nancy is just that. Located in Little Havana this spot is cozy and intimate. The decor has a Caption Jack Sparrow of the Black Pearl vibe and I love it. I ordered the a cool drink with an even cooler name. Smile you S.O.B (My family reads my reviews so I'm going to keep it clean)it's the full phrase but you get the hint. It was AMAZING!!! There's even a cool shark jumping out of your glass ready to bite ya. I did try a few dishes. The African stew, pork cracklings and the seafood po'boy. In all honesty I wasn't a fan of the food. It was okay but at the moment I would probably only come there for drinks. I did enjoy the bar and the bartenders are so friendly and funny. I think once the back of the house develops the menu a bit more this will be a 5 star bar for sure. read more

I found this bar to be totally meh. I came here one early evening for happy hour, where the waitress took so long to come to our table that happy hour had ended (granted, we had probably only shown up 10-15 minutes prior). She was good about it and gave us one drink on special, and to be fair it wasn't her fault because they maybe had 2 girls working the entire bar, which while not crazy full, could've definitely used an extra person or two, but still annoying to wait so so long just to be greeted. The specialty cocktails were very good, although we ordered two heavy delicious sounding appetizers (Mac and cheese and deep fried balls of something or another) that I would describe as unmemorable. Stick to the drinks here. Overall vibe was kind of quiet. Decor inside was cool but music was not really making or breaking the atmosphere, and given how the space was set up even though there were maybe 20 people there it's a big space and it felt totally empty. I'd give it another go if it were someone else's idea, otherwise I doubt I'll be back again. read more

Stumbled upon this place while out in Calle Ocho... turns out it was its fourth day open? Great drinks and ambience, friendly co-founders who gave us a bunch of local recommendations. Loved this down-to-earth but high quality cocktail bar. If you're a fan of peaty whiskeys, then go for the Rattleskull Flip - delicious! read more

Thinking about moving to Miami for this bar... While visiting Calle Ocho on a quick trip to Miami, we decided to stop by this bar for happy hour, and we're so glad we did! It turned out being one of the highlights of our trip. I had been craving a cocktail bar with more interesting options, and this place did not disappoint. My boyfriend was thankful they had some non-fruity options for a change (shoutout square grouper). I tried six different drinks (thank you happy hour), and all of them were perfect. The owner was behind the bar when we were there, and he was super nice and helpful with recommendations. The look and feel of this bar is also the coolest. All around great experience! read more

Ahoy mates! Time to step aboard the Mother ship and voyage into another land. Because you will definitely forget you are in Little Havana when you've arrived. Bar Nancy has a hint of history, compelling back story and simply put, bad ass decor. The walls and roof lined with fine dark wood. The Bar, the focal point, hoisting a ship's hull and cleverly using the space for their bottles. The bar stools picking up the trimming of the hull. The bar top, smooth and stunning, tying it all together. The design alone is majestic and worth stepping in to witness it. The drinks, MY drink, pure genius. "Smile You Son of a Bitch" is a clear Jaws reference and you'll know this the moment it's presented to you (Millennials: Pause for google search). I won't ruin it for you, but if you like Tequila go for it. If the taste fails you (it won't), the toy in the cereal box will be worth it. Completely out of place yet exactly what the neighborhood needs. The name itself carrying history and indicating precisely what it symbolizes in this town. "A supply ship for the revolution, Nancy's crew make their allegiance known in St. Thomas and raise the Union's flag. This is the first time the stars and stripes are seen in a foreign port. An epoch of revolt has begun". An epoch of revolt indeed. Little Havana has been coming up, without a doubt, but this place will change the route it takes and I'm excited to see where that goes. There's a part of me that doesn't want to share it, sitting there as the bar was emptying felt like a gift. The one you get from your fancy aunt with that perfect department store wrapping paper, tight bow, no tape in site. You know the one... You just want to stare at it a little longer before you undo that bow. So, you're welcome. You're welcome if you're reading this and decide to check it out. You're welcome if it's still soon enough and you get to experience this before it has a crowd urging to get in. You're welcome if you Smile You Son of a Bitch and you're welcome for Jaws. Thanks, Bar Nancy for your utter awesomeness. I will be exploring the rest of that cocktail menu real soon. Bon Voyage. read more

Checked out Bar Nancy with a good friend and the owner told us all of the cool history of where all of their decor came from...love places with a story!! We then preceded to get drinks and bites, the cocktails were amazing and the food was great too! I asked the bartender to surprise me and he made an off the menu cocktail that was so delicious I ended up having 3 more!! I recommend this place if you're looking for a great place with a cool vibe and excellent cocktails! This is a must try!!! read more

Great ambiance, quality cocktails, quick to serve, excellent for groups. Speakeasy-ish with a touch of modern.

Visited last night with my boyfriend after my birthday dinner. The inside looks like a pirate ship and is actually pretty cool. They had a live band and they were celebrating Halloween so they had a costume contest. The band was really good, a tad bit loud so it's hard to converse with the people you're with but at least they were good. They also seemed to have a lot of bar bites and although we didn't eat, they looked delicious. They also have a cute outside area with another car and tables and seats. Their cocktail menu was pretty on point and were very involved. We will definitely return! read more

Everything is amazing, dinners, appetizers, drinks. I wish there were more servers though. Service is slow. Still recommend.

Bar Nancy has more space then I would have thought with a nice sitting area between the front and back, but the drinks and limited food menu are terrible. I hated my drink and at $14.00+ I expected better. The food was vile. They do bring in decent bands but there is lots of room for improvement. Additionally, you must prepay before they serve you anything. Not recommended. read more

I loved this bar! My friends and I had such a lovely time! Our waitress was absolutely amazing! Remember our group of 6 individual drink orders! Super attentive and playful! We came on a night where they had a fire and ice DJ competition definitely not what I expected for a bar in Little Havana! Definitely a must visit! The patio area outside had plenty of seating and was a cool area to chill and have a nice conversation. read more

Bar Nancy on a Friday (at least this Friday) is a very 80's / 90's vibes. A good and fun happy hour menu for drinks. They have a food menu but the way the bar is set up I would just aim for drinks. It's a little crowded with people so just note that. You'll find a very different crowd with a lot of variety; some dressed nice, others in sneaks and hipster vibes. Come as you wish and be true to yourself, that's the vibe I get from this spot. The bartenders are great, quick service, small talk ; but because they want to be efficient and keep people hydrated & happy (with drinks). If in Little Havana, a must stop by place just to check out and perhaps go somewhere else for the night. A nice little hidden gem to meet up with friends and discuss where to next over a few cocktails. read more

Everything about this place, from the food to the service, decor and drinks is exquisite. My boyfriend and I came here on a Friday night and we're the first few guests of the night. We were approached immediately by Jammarica (I hope I spelled that right) and she was extremely friendly and helpful. We ordered the Donkey Punch, which is a delicious twist to the classic Moscow mule, and the milky something (can't remember the name, but it was amazing, and had diplomatico, 4 roses, marshmallow, cocoa and lemon.) Now, onto the food. The mushroom and cheese planks were probably our favorite, but the mac and cheese (which usually has pulled pork, but we opted for the vegetarian option) and seadevil's eggs were a close second. The chef is a genius. We'll definitely be visiting this establish on the regular. read more

This place is cute. The layout is perfect. Small, quaint - private and it has most of what you should be looking for. There is a full bar with very slow service- a stage ? A private area - like a living room which I find very very nice. It has an outdoor area which is under "reconstruction" that could use bushes/trees to keep surrounding neighborhood building from looking. Food is a joke! They really need to work on that one!! We ordered pork rinds and on sw 8th street "cubanville@ when you say porkrinds - chicharrones - you want the real McCoy . For 6.00 they give you the store bought poofy- airy -pork rinds that you get for .99 cents a bag . Ridiculous!!!! The music is off. The dj is obviously not looking at the Crowd - he or she is playing for themselves. Not good . The place is gorgeous but it needs direction . They need a marketing plan otherwise it will fail . The potential is definitely there. read more

What an amazing place great atmosphere by far best cocktail drink that I have had in a while. Lay back and super chill spot. For sure a must go to place especially for happy hour. Great rotating menu and great drinks. Plenty of room to move around and super clean. What a lay back place in little Havana that's not gonna charge you and arm an leg this is the place. Am I g and friendly service. If your in the area you need to come here. Only down fault is parking but we live in Miami parking stinks everywhere lol. read more

This is a perfect dive bar. It's pirate ship themed. There is a great area for dancing and music. It's dark and cozy. There is a patio and there is a seating nook with dark leather furniture. I ordered a Walk the Plank and it is the best cocktail I remember having in quite some time. The bartender was very sweet, as well. read more

Ben the bartender makes the best mojito in little Havana!!! After a few really bad too sweet mojitos on south beach this was a nice change- great chill place and have a cocktail! read more

Quite possibly the worst bar experience I've had in years. The place is stupid small, and the crowd was huge, but that's what you expect in a place like this, so you deal with it. The unacceptable part was the service and attitude of the bar staff. You're not there to do us a favor. You're there to do a job. If you have an asshole reaction to that, you're going to get an asshole tip. I wish I knew the name of the douche bartender I had. He has a beard. I think it's grayed. Never going back because one dick bartender treated people (not just me) like dicks. read more

The service is great as well as the food and drinks! Went early enough before the band so it was quiet and chill. There's a real cute an cozy outdoor patio in the back. read more

During a night out in the Miami area our daughter suggested that we would have a great time at "Bar Nancy" !!! Well given that from the outside it looked like it was a small hole in the wall,we ended up having s great time! When you first walk in there's a great looking bar to the left and some low top and high tops eating throughout the bar along with a great stage at the back and private seating behind the stage along with outdoor seating behind the bar. The service was really great, there was somebody there at the table every few minutes to ensure that our drinks were never empty and whether we needed to order any bar bites which by the way, they were pretty darn good we had some croquettes and other tasty bites that complemented some of the great drinks that we had. It happened that the band playing that evening was a queen tribute of course one of my favorites and it just complemented the great company that we had and a great atmospher towards the end of the night we actually started dancing to the music the crowd wasFun and Divers they have a decent beer list and some really great specialty cocktails truly a great place to visit I recommend it 100%. read more

When we walked in we were immediately greeted and I felt like I was at my neighborhood bar. The attentiveness and kindness were very welcoming. We only had beers on this visit but the next time I will try a specialty cocktail. I'm excited to go back for happy hour and live music. Thanks Katie and Ben, see ya soon! read more

A Little dark, a little shady, and totally perfect gem in little Havana. This is the perfect place to come for amazing drinks with friends (or alone if thats your thing) without the wynwood/south beach crowd. It's a come-as-your-are, no BS, local bar! I always felt the Miami bar scene had a big Gap when tobacco road closed...and then I found this place. read more

It's time for a great place to have great drinks and awesome food at a very reasonable price. The decor takes you to a seaside pub and the drinks created by the mix master Derek are a show in its self . Watch him mix behind a beautiful back ground of the sailing vessel NANCY is worth the visit. It's hard to believe they have only been open for a few days . Can't wait to return , I highly recommend . You won't be disappointed ! 5 stars in my book ..!! read more

Well.... owners of this place seem to not care about their customers! After being a regular for a while, I was very disappointed! Seems like they changed things up with the signature cocktails, and they decided to pour less drink in your glass, meaning, after paying $14, your glass cant even be filled to the top. Owners were standing 10 feet from me and didnt care to address the issue. NOW THAT YOUR BAR IS POPULAR, CUSTOMERS ARENT THAT IMPORTANT, HUH? Just..... WOW! read more

Horrible service. First and last time I visit this bar. Waited for almost an hour and couldn't even order one drink. The bartender is super rude and there is a waitress there that was even cursing at customers. Either hire better staff or get more employees . My husband and I walked out after this horrific experience. Please save yourself the grief and don't go to Bar Nancy!!! read more

I really like this place and if you are a solo drinker like me and just want to have a drink in peace you will really like this place.Awesome food, great music. The people that work there are pretty awesome and chill people. read more

Happy hour goes from 4-7 (not 4-8 as someone's review suggested). My group of friends and I showed up to an empty bar at 7:01 thinking happy hour ran til 8 and we were deeply saddened to learn we missed it by a minute. However, our incredible waitress said "don't worry, we can extend the happy hour for you guys a few minutes..." JUST KIDDING! I wish she said that! What she really said was, "sorry, I can't extend happy hour, you know, the computer system....." So, due to pride and the financial inability to pay $14 for a cocktail, I left the bar. Leaving it empty and dead inside. Just like our waitress left me. I will go back, however I will make sure to be there by 6:59 at the latest. Hopefully their cool looking cocktails can wash the taste of spite from my pallet. read more

Cute little bar on 8th street. Truly a hidden gem. Went for HH with my best friend on a rainy Wednesday night. The ambience is a little dark with Latin decor that fits right in with the 8st vibe. The HH is really awesome, half priced drinks on all their specialty cocktails. Regular price for the drinks run for about $14 so you're definitely getting a deal if you come in for HH. I tried a drink similar to the Moscow mule and it was fantastic! Probably one of the best I have ever tried. We also had for appetizers the mac & cheese, the chicharrones and split the sloppy joe. All 3 dishes were great. Full of flavor and big enough to share. Can't wait to be back & try more of their specialty cocktails which seem to be a big hit! read more

Unique and inviting bar in Calle Ocho. Very unassuming from the outside but full on detail and character in the inside. Bar Nancy is a nice addition to the up and coming little havana night scene. It offers a limited food menu but lots of fun and unique cocktail choices. Try their happy hour , runs til 7pm. On the nights I've been there, the bar is very laid back and chill. I've heard the atmosphere is much more lively on weekends with a Dj playing 80s music... definitely thinking on checking out. Bartenders are nice and attentive and is a nice break from the huzzle and bustle of brickell. read more

If you haven't been to this bar yet, YOU MUST. If you don't, YOU'RE MISSING OUT!! I literally tried every drink on the menu and they were all INCREDIBLE. The partial owner, Ben, is a mixologist and REALLY knows his stuff. I have never been more impressed. Made great recommendations and had amazing conversations. They have happy hour 7 days a week and everything is half off. YOU CANT BEAT THAT!! (Enabled me to try all of the drinks lol) I love these guys, I love their drinks, I love the atmosphere. They have a back yard, a leather couch lounge area, and a great bar setup. EVERYONE HAS TO GO THERE!! If we love it, you will too. ALSO they have a great music playlist. Perfect for our Sunday funday vibe read more

Cool new spot (was an old calle ocho staple Havana 305); cocktails are great and service is above Miami standard. Music acts coming soon (great stage....Miami desperately needs spots like this!) read more

I asked the DJ for 1 slasa song he was being so stingy. There was maybe 10 people in the bar total, and he wouldn't accustom to the "majority" who was here. On the bar's order. Learn the crowd. read more

Came here from out town and love this place! Must try drinks Siren Song and Southern Belle.

Great spot for Happy Hour or otherwise. Very laid-back vibe, bartenders and owner are nice, good music, and the cocktails are really well-made and delicious. There is also a patio in the back if you don't want to sit inside. It can get very busy on weekends and certain nights when they bring in live music. It's a great neighborhood joint to grab after work drinks with friends without the fuss of typical Miami bars. Highly recommend. read more
