Such a fun time with great music. Loved the theme of the bar and the vibes. Loved how creative they got with the Bad Bunny house. It was a little difficult to get to the bar because of the amount of people, but once there bartenders were very friendly and even recommended some drinks. Can't wait to return. read more

Casa Tiki is a vibe! Brought to you by the folks at Better Days, you know they know how to have a good time. I came through on a Friday night with my girls and it was the best time. We had a couch area reserved which is great for a group. If you want good drinks and a fun vibe on Calle Ocho, this is your spot. If you follow them on IG you will see they have tons of programming and events weekly. Can't wait to pop in for happy hour. read more

I was invited to an event here. Fun space! Seasonally decorated - this time in Halloween spirits and I understand it will switch to a winter one after. More spaced out (perhaps less discovered) than their sister location. I prefer the space so it worked for me (I don't like to be too crowded). Very talented bar tenders that took their time in an appreciated way (quality yet efficient). They had a trivia night after the event which was really fun! Both staff and patrons were swapping jokes, it was a great environment! Keep it up casa tiki crew! read more

I've been frequenting casa tiki lately for a multitude of reasons. Drinks and vibe are on point but my go-to bartender Danny... the way Hollywood wants Pedro Pascal for all roles, I want Danny making all my drinks Danny could probably survive on a deserted island with nothing but a bottle of Jamo, a lime, and his natural charm... and he'd still somehow get a 30% tip outta nature Bottom line: Casa Tiki is THE SPOT, but Danny?

I walked into this bar a mere mortal, lost in a sea of existential dread and trying to figure out what the heck "happiness" even was. I left, not only with a drink in hand but with a new lease on life. The dim lighting is just enough to make you feel mysterious, but not so much that you lose your keys in your own pocket. The bartender? A sage, dispensing wisdom with every pour and knowing exactly how much tequila to add before I start making questionable decisions. The drinks? Perfect. Refreshing. Like someone gave liquid form to my deepest desires and served it in a glass. Sure, they don't serve food--but who needs food when you have a cold drink in your hand and a whole new outlook on life? This bar doesn't just serve drinks; it serves perspective, community, and a bit of bad decision-making for good measure. In short: This place didn't just save my night. It saved my soul--and possibly my dignity. If you haven't been, you're missing out on a life-changing experience. read more

It's not a pure tiki bar per se, but Casa Tiki gave us a decent spot to continue a friend's birthday party and to watch our NBA team's effort. There was also a salsa class happening this Friday; one of the birthday girl tried the class was definitely a talented dancer! We did try to get a special drink for the birthday girls but were told they don't do anything for that; maybe since it was just a small group of us? Still, the sound system was nice and vibrant & the drinks well blended. I started off with a rum old fashioned and also enjoyed their mojito. read more

If you're looking for a second home, The Dead Flamingo at Casa Tiki is it. The atmosphere here is unmatched--warm, welcoming, and just the right amount of wild. Every single person behind the bar treats you like family. They don't just serve drinks; they learn your name, remember your favorite cocktail, and actually have real conversations with you. Shoutout to the door guy, Amadeus--hands down one of the most interesting men alive. You'll know what I mean the moment you meet him. One of the coolest parts? You can bring in food, even from across the street at Lung Yai, a two Michelin star spot with incredible prices. It's the perfect combo--world-class food, great drinks, and a vibe you'll want to soak in all night. The Dead Flamingo isn't just a bar--it's a community. Come by once, and you'll be hooked. read more

We were in from out of town for the CFP national championship and stopped in after the game. We are Indiana fans and walked in to a bar of Miami fans. Nervous at first, our worries were quickly eliminated upon talking to the staff and regulars. Everyone was SO NICE here! They were so incredibly welcoming and genuinely kind and happy to have us. The service was incredible. The drinks were delicious and the bar theming is so fun. I am so glad we wandered in. I will definitely recommend the Dead Flamingo to anyone who goes to Miami! read more

We were walking around little Havana and not having any luck with finding a good bar that could accommodate our group of 10 on a Saturday night. Some required a 2 drink minimum (a few of our group didn't drink) and others just didn't have the space and/or we just weren't dressed for the occasion. But after some Yelping, we saw that Casa Tiki was nearby. I'm already a huge fan of tiki bars so we walked over to grab a couple of drinks. There were a handful of people at the bar so my group made our place in the back couch area. There weren't menus just yet so a couple of us went up to the bar to ask for recommendations. When Will, the owner, found out it was my bachelorette party, he and his team pulled out all the stops for us. From gifting us a bottle of champagne to bringing out the bubble machines and disco lights, they made us feel like queens! It was perfect timing: the DJ was just about getting set up when we arrived and they really got the party started! He took alllll of our requests from Bay music to ABBA to Whitney Houston and truly made the night so fun. There isn't *really* a dance floor but we were really dancing the night away. Guess that just goes to show it's about who you're with! The staff even joined us in dancing for a bit and another guest bought us drinks too. I'm so glad we ended up at Casa Tiki for the last night of my bachelorette. They took what was looking like a sad night and completely turned it around for us. Wish we were in Miami for one extra day so we could've checked out Better Days (Will's other bar) too! That'll be bookmarked for next time. We learned that he and his team just took over Casa Tiki maybe a few weeks before so I can only bet it'll get even better from here. THANK YOU to Will & the Casa Tiki team for such a fun & memorable experience! read more

A Hidden Gem with Nonstop Vibes! Casa Tiki (aka Dead Flamingo) is the spot if you're looking for good energy, creative vibes, and a party you won't forget. Every time I walk in, it feels like stepping into a funky little world where everyone's welcome and the good times never stop. Whether you're craving a top-tier craft cocktail or just want a classic beer and a shot combo, the bartenders have you covered and they always serve it up with great energy and a smile. One of my favorite parts? Free pool. No quarters, no hassle just grab a cue and play a few rounds with friends (or make some new ones). It's the perfect bonus to an already chill and fun atmosphere. The space itself is super unique and artistic, with fun decor and an atmosphere that's equal parts laid back and electric. It's the kind of place where strangers become friends fast, and the dance floor always seems to find life by the end of the night. Shout out to the staff and regulars for keeping the vibes high and the love flowing. Casa Tiki isn't just a bar it's an experience. read more

I have nothing but amazing words to say to the Casa Tiki team! We randomly stumbled upon this place on a Saturday night during a bachelorette weekend trip. We tried other bars, but they weren't as welcoming (probably because we were wearing casual clothes but I digress) We swooped the back area with full couch access since there were 10 of us and got the drinks flowing pretty easily. The DJ was just setting up as we settled in, and we immediately asked if they took requests. They did! Here's the best part: the team could see we came with a purpose and when they found out we were celebrating our soon-to-be-mrs they legit gave the best service ever by gifting us with a bottle of champs and bringing out bubble machines for us to dance with. We had such a great time interacting with the bartenders and so glad we got to meet the owner who let us know the place is fairly new. The vibes were great and gah, I cannot stop raving how open and sweet everyone was. Some other guests gifted us drinks because we were all on such a high! Thank you to the incredible team for making this one of the most memorable nights of the weekend! read more

You enter an immersive world that really outshines any tiki bar to which I've ever been. The magic radiates out of every nook and cranny. That was complimented by our bartender, Billy, knocking out some perfect killer classics, like a real Mai Tai, and Navy Grog, that, post the 1950s became kind of sugar filled, over-the-top mockeries of the Tiki cocktail arts. No mockery here. Just the old school magic. It's a very analog, and thankfully honest, unhipster revival for a generation who knows not of Bali Hai, Don the Beachcomber, the Mai Kai, and San Francisco's once-great, now seedy Tonga Room & Hurricane Bar, at the Fairmont Hotel, on Nob Hill. The crowd, including the regulars, were a lot of fun. In all, a really awesome evening! Five stars, for all of that, and a sixth for the memories.

Many people enjoyed themselves on the dance floor in front of the DJ. They also have a backyard area that was popular. My favorite room was the one between the two. It was decorated like the Captains quarters with a couch and comfortable chairs. I could still enjoy the music and more importantly, the air conditioning. During the night I had a delicious Amaretto Sour. Despite the dive bar surroundings, it was a hefty $15. While that is expensive for a cocktail, it was a small price to pay to relive my youth for one evening.

We decided it was a nice night to dine outside and made our way over to Monty's. Monty's has been a…read moreCoconut Grove staple for as long as I can remember and it's for good reason. The restaurant sits next to the Coconut Grove marina, and is accessible by land or sea. The atmosphere always feels like you're on a Caribbean vacation. Our server was Iria and she was friendly, knowledgeable on the menu and perfectly attendant. She wasn't hovering over us but checked on us enough where we were perfectly taken care of. We started with an order of the peel & eat shrimp. This is seasoned with old bay and it was delicious; only complaint is they weren't cleaned very well, several of them were cut open but the "vein" was still very present. This is the reason for 4 stars instead of 5, probably should give 3 but the rest really made up for it. For the main courses my bf had the seafood pasta which he said was good, although the sauce was a bit plain (he described it as having a ragu flavor). I had the Baja tacos at his suggestion and boy was it a good recommendation. It comes with 3 tacos and they are packed with fish. They were absolutely delicious. The tacos also come with a small side of elote which had a strong citrus flavor, absolutely delicious. All in all, I don't know why we don't come here more often but we will. Monty's should always be an option when the weather is right.

We just got off our 7-night cruise on Royal Caribbean's Icon of the Seas this morning and pick up a car from the airport to meet up with Brian for lunch before our flight home. He suggested Monty's since he has been here a couple of times. The place is huge and there was already a line before they even opened at 11:30 am! They have a live band that started playing right away so it made our meals more enjoyable. I didn't get a chance to snap pictures since we all started eating as soon as the food came. We shared appetizers - Gator Bites, very tender and flavorful! I highly recommend! The Yucca Fries (We've only had them in Sanc Juan) were so good! A must try, if you haven't had them. The Crispy Crab Cake Bites were utterly delicious! Main dish - I had the Grouper with mango salsa, black beans and rice. It was a good portion and was cooked perfectly. It paired nicely with the mango salsa. Chris raved about the Seafood ceviche! It was fresh with tons of fish, shrimp and octopus. Brian had a dozen fresh oysters. They were fresh and juicy!

I went here for lunch by myself to have a bar meal and check the place out. I had read good things…read more Wow, what a disappointment! Parking (I was riding my motorcycle) was scarce. I talked the friendly valet into letting me park between a handicap space and a dumpster. The service was awful. It was 1:30 pm and there were about 15 customers with capacity for 100+. I was given a menu and a glass of water timely and the lady behind the bar seemed friendly. There were plenty of staff around waiting tables and backing the bar. I ordered a blackened fish sandwich and a draft beer. The beer came right away in a plastic mug. The pour was less than 12 oz. (small mug) and the brew was barely chilled. Almost room temperature. After 20 minutes and no fish sandwich, the bar lady came by and asked me: "Did you get your fish sandwich?" I said no. She then went in the main building (presumably where the kitchen is located) coming out a few minutes later while holding up 2 fingers, mouthing "2 minutes." The sandwich was $22 without fries (which were and extra $9 as a side). I didn't order those. The half-pint warm beer was $8. About 7 minutes later, another server came from the main building and delivered a scrawny, soggy bun containing a thick, small, undercooked, hunk of blackened fish flesh only 80% skin free. I had to finish the filleting myself. The toppings were parsley and onion. It was the ugliest and most tasteless blackened fish sandwich I have ever been served. I should've taken a photo. Anyway, by this point, I was in a hurry to get out of there as the place was a total fail. I picked at the fish with my fork and knife and ate the part that was actually meat and cooked, leaving the rest (skin included) and the soggy bun on the plate. With an 18% gratuity included, a simple grilled fish sandwich with no sides and a warm beer came out to almost $40. On the positive side, the view of the water and the Miami - Brickell skyline was good. However, I won't be coming back to this joint again. If I could give it Zero stars, I would.

The bartenders are super friendly and funny, which made the experience even better. I had the burger and it was so goooood . The hot dog was just okay, but the burger def made up for it. Parking can be a little iffy, but they do offer valet which helps. I see myself coming back!

This feels like a classic Little Havana place with great food and a great atmosphere, but…read moredefinitely make a reservation!! If not, you will have to wait in a pretty long line. I was actually running extremely late to the reservation time but they still honored it and my friend was seated immediately. When I arrived, I was famished so we ordered a bit of everything to start - the vitrola. It's their Cuban appetizer sampler with empanadas, plantain chips, croquettes, and others. It is a great way to try a bunch of items. My friend and I also ordered the ropa vieja and the Cuban sandwich to share. The ropa vieja is life changing - order it, you will not be disappointed. So flavorful and tender! The cuban sandwich was also really good, but a bit cheesier than others I have had. There was a ton of live music happening in both the front and the back of the restaurant. It is a very lively, fun place. The only downside is because it is so busy, the service is a little on the slower side but honestly who cares. You are there for the food and vibes and have nothing to do!

My experience is based on my visit, so please keep that in mind…read more I visited plenty of times Little Havana. Is full of restaurants to choose from. Every restaurant is uniquely decorated and fill with the Miami vibes. Mojitos and cortados are available throughout the day. Old Havana is that type of place. The service is top notch. The waiters look sharp and profesional. They know everything on the menu that you might like and will give you their best recommendations!! Our waiter was Gypsia, and she was lovely, attentive and funny! The food was delicious. I highly recommend it!
