    Cici and T, you can't go wrong! The best bartenders in Miami period, This place is homebase when I come in from Charlotte, sound is tight, music is right, and it's open all night! Drops the mike! Tony Motley, CEO www.quietparty.us

    Cute decor. The chalkboard walls are a nice touch

    It's a decent well lit corner bar. It's definitely not a dive bar like the reviews say. Drinks are standard south beach price, but being off the strip it may be worth a visit. I'll most likely go back to give the food a try.

    The place is ok and the staff too. The brew is a little beat expensive for a dive bar. The problem with this bar (at least this Friday) is the regulars. There were just two a** h**** who were all the night screaming and trying to get attention, without any suggestion from the staff to calm down. I saw people who stay for a couple minutes and leave because these two characters. Probably, this happened just tonight. I don't know. I will give to this place one more chance, though.

    It sure is lol

    This place was terrible for a drink. I went in and someone was burning plastic to warm their hands. The smell was repulsive.

It was their trivia night, I believe there was a $1500 pot if you win. Everyone seemed to be playing. We arrived to late to join. The place was packed yet there were only two servers. Our server was running around like a chicken with her head cut off. However she managed to keep up with out party of 9. There were times we were waiting for assistance however we could see she wasn't just sitting on her ass. We order burgers, flat breads, tenders and steak tacos. Steak tacos were horrible Burgers were delicious Flatbread were good Tenders definitely looked like they were frozen tenders from the grocer. The beverages were nice not too strong but not weak. We were kinda profiled however as a black person you get use to it. My husband and brother stepped out for a smoke break..although everyone else was still seated at the table. We watched security run out after them. We laughed cause they looked stupid. When security ran out there they pretended to be looking at something when they noticed they guys were right outside the door. Irish pub we didn't expect any less. However it was kinds funny how the guy darted out after them then aimlessly looked around after he realized they were smoking a cigarette ‍

I realized that I had not actually been to this location since it was The Playwright (or whatever it was called) 4 or 5 years ago. The updated interior is nice - very "pubby" - and they offer a good variety of seating from bar seats to high-tops to couches. Two things here that were standouts: First, the burger is one of the best burgers I've had on South Beach. So much so that I'm craving it again this morning. They've done a good job with the menu in that it still has all those bar foods that you look for in a place like this, but they've put some thought into elevating a number of items (e.g. the short rib poutine!) Second, the service was great. Our server (sorry, can't remember his name - a nice guy from Kendall) was very friendly and provided excellent service. As many reviews mention, this is definitely a place to watch a game. While we weren't there for this purpose last night, the TV setup is great and I could def see myself camping out there with a few beers on a weekend afternoon. As someone who lives in the neighborhood, I'll be back again for sure.

Thursday night is Karaoke and the people in here can sing. You can tell this is a place the locals actually go to.

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.

It took over 15 minutes for our waitress to even come to our table. When she finally did, she asked what we wanted to order, but we hadn't been given menus yet. She brought them over and walked away. Another 15 minutes went by before she returned. When we asked about the drink specials, she looked away and walked off without answering. At that point, we decided to get up and leave. As Miami locals, we truly enjoy supporting our city's restaurants, which made this experience even more disappointing. I would hate for visitors to receive this same level of service and leave with a negative impression of our city.

    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.

Nachos: Looked like the cheese was baked on and then sour cream, guacamole and pico de gallo were added afterwards. Cheese was a little burnt, but manageable. Was decent. I mean any nachos are good nachos when watching a game, right? Wings: There were six wings in an order with 4 drumettes and 2 flats. They came "naked", which had me skeptical at first. But then I realized I could really soak these bad boys in buffalo sauce to make them spicier than the normal pre-tossed variety. Shrimp Cocktail: There were four large shrimp in an order. Much bigger sized than party platters of cocktail shrimp from the grocery store. Loved the whole glass full of cocktail sauce and horseradish. Probably my favorite thing here.
