**GOOD SPOT TO WATCH FOOTBALL** Die-hard Saints fan here. Had to venture outside and search for a sports bar to watch the Saints and Bucs game. Dewey's was perfect. Lots of televisions, 2 pool tables, and friendly bartenders. Patrons left when I started screaming obscenities. I was that *rowdy, obnoxious fan*. Made friends. Bought rounds. Jameson shots. Beers. Smoked a cigar. Like I said, Dewey's was perfect. RECOMMEND. read more

Dewey's Tavern - Jameson shots at Dewey's. - Pubs Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Ah, I want to rate it higher I do. If it were for the company and fun of Dive Bar Dash, this would be a 5 Star review easily. Although their Bacardi Limon with sprite made a respectable imitation, they did not have the mint or muddling tools to make a mojito. I know it's a dive bar but uh how about having a slightly cleaner boys room? Ok now that that's out of the way... At least I got the opportunity to taste Murphy's Stout and it's coffee grounds taste. read more

Dewey's Tavern - Beer doggie at the bar, even the laser eyes were green! - Pubs Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

The worst bar in South Beach. The ceiling leaks in the women's bathroom. The men's bathroom is covered in excrement. The bar completely smells like smoke. The bartenders make horrible drinks. The only cool thing is the manager's dog. But the manager negates that coolness with how horrible she is as bartender. Avoid this place at all costs! read more

OMG! My first time at Dewey's and what a blast! Shawn's housewarming party hijacked Dewey's and headed for the mic instantly like a bunch of bees heading to the honey. Dewey's is hidden quite well, no wonder I didn't know where it was. I almost couldn't see the entrance on Alton road. Old fashioned bar, cheap drinks, friendly crowd... a very pleasant atmosphere far from the Miami hype and glitters. Already boozed up Yelpers screamed their lungs out on Bohemian Rhapsody and Don't stop believing... ;) It was quite a sight, or I should say quite a singing sensation! The only bad thing about the place was the cigarette smoke... my throat hurt the second in breathed in. Seriously, I choked a few times when I came in. Still, a special place to have fun without obnoxious people around you. read more

Awsome bar how ever my stranger associate was dissappointed in them not haviing any Jameraon available.. I decides ro go with a crown an coke like always amd the music was flowing all old school jams; music you cant go wrong with ever... read more

Oh you fancy huh ? - STAY AWAY Just to be clear - THIS IS A DIVE BAR - deep dive bar - Jacques Cousteau deep dive bar !! This a great place for cheap drinks with locals and karaoke on a Saturday night. I enjoy that an any random night, you can mix it up with record executives, life guards, Yelpers, Local businesses men, and yes the occasional drug dealers and prostitute but you could wait in line all night to get into Mansion and see the same people and spend a lot more. I saw a few WORLD CUP games there and had no problem with the volume, but of course I had to turn it up myself because the waitress just didn't know how to do it. - agree with Maria - Yellow Card for Training. Also as the Miami Beach Philly Bar - they have the banner outside to prove it - I can't not go here for a game. More than most places if you are nice the bartenders, they will be nice to you. I brought a group of Rotary Exchange Teamers from Latvia and Sweden on Halloween and they had a blast thanks to the staff who kept the on the house shots coming. They do need to keep locks working on the bathroom doors though. It can get kind of scary when the door flies open and you are walking in ..lol Good place to start or end an evening on SoBe for sure. read more

Like Kathy, I love this place.... partially because I too can walk here from home! I will admit, Dewey's is a little frightening from the outside, but not so scary on the inside. Beers are pretty cheap for SoBe and the bartenders are pretty nice. There has been in interesting mix of locals the few times I've been there.... Great place to watch sports. They have a number of TVs & lucky for me I found a bunch of other Red Wings fans to watch the games with. Late night (I know on Saturdays for sure) they have karaoke (or however you spell it) if your the type who like to have drunken American Idol, some people actually sang quite well much to my surprise. Bathroom situation is a little scary here. No marked restrooms, the locks are broken on both doors and one of the toilets has a chain coming out of it that you use to flush it....in my opinion this is what makes it a dive bar! I only got walked in on twice, so not too bad. So, if you want a place to chill with pretty friendly locals, cheap beer & lots of TVs this is your place. They also have a pretty decent juke box...although last time I was there someone was stuck on Elvis.... read more

If I lived on Miami Beach, this would definitely be one of my regular hangouts. I stopped here at around midnight on a Saturday to grab a beer after the friends I had dinner with needed to split. I found a spot at the bar, ordered a beer and it was only $3 which is almost unheard of in the Miami area. They were advertising drink specials, 4 beers for $10 during football games. Incredible! Dewey's is a bit small for the amount of people they had packed in here, but as other reviewers have mentioned, it's actually quite nice inside compared to what you'd expect when you look at this place from the street. They had a live DJ so it was a bit loud, but everyone seemed to be having fun, the bar staff was friendly and even with a DJ spinning, there was no cover charge. My cell phone rang so I walked out back to the outdoor bar, which was empty save about 3 people. They had a full bar out there with it's own dedicated server. This place has a pool table, and several plasma screens both inside and at the outdoor bar for sporting events. The crowd was mostly in their mid-20s and was a mix of people, some of whom were in shorts, T's and ball caps and others who were dressed up, probably getting loaded on cheap drinks here before heading to the clubs on SOBE where they'll order 1 drink and sip it all night for the price they'd pay for 3 here. read more

Dewey's Tavern - a neon sign for the restaurant - Pubs Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Believe it or not, the mens' room is FAR improved over what it used to be. The current mens' room situation, even though it's still difficult to lock the door, is a palatial porcelain expanse compared to the old loo. I was impressed. There's some space inside, oddly decent bar food, a jukebox, and the Guinness and Murphys is always around, so it works for me. During the Dive Bar Dash on the 17th of March, I was surprised to see a credible corned beef and cabbage being served. If/when it gets too stuffy inside, I also like the fact that there's a small outside area. read more

I used to be a Dewey's fan. I liked it for being a neighborhood spot, a local bar catering to the year round residents. Good prices, solid pours, fun late-night karaoke on Saturday nights. But not a good place to catch the World Cup. I went in yesterday to try to catch a bit of the Brazil game. I thought perfect: a dark, cold, quiet bar with small drink prices and big televisions. The game was on, score but the sound was tuned to a different station. Yellow card. The waitress/bartender/manager comes over and my friend orders a Guinness. I look around and notice she's watching some rerun on FX or something and that's what the sound is tuned to. There were two gentlemen also watching the game on the other end of the bar. But that made no difference. Sufficed to say we didn't stay long. In short, skip Deweys during weekday World Cup games. read more

This is definitely a low key locals place that has a full bar. It is actually much nicer inside that it looks from the outside. Drinks are cheap and they have a pool table and some nice TVs to catch the sports action. Bartenders are always friendly and the hamburgers are good. Good place to get away from tourists and fakers. read more

I love this place. Always reliable. (And walking distance to my house). It will be a while before I can walk in here with my head help up high. This was our last stop on a six stop pub crawl. Let's just say I had a "tad" too much to drink in all our previous stops and had way too much fun karaoking, doing shots, dancing. I know I had a great time as is evidenced by the pictures and the receipt showing I had a brilliant idea of doing tequila shots at 2:30 am. :-/ read more

Dewey's has it all: -grease sodden grub; -attentive bar maidens, whose looks improve with the easy swilling of cheap booze; -Saturday-night-karaoke-freak-feasts; -a pool table; -free cigarette smoke; -sh*t loads of TVs everywhere and on everything! Dewey's in the working man's 8oz. read more

I've had some good times at Deweys. Not going to drag this one out, here's the bottom line: Super duper dive, cheap drinks (i think cheapest on the beach) and a good crowd. Friday is Karaoke night, that's when I do my MC Hammer impression. This is technically a Philly dive bar so if you got beef with any Philly team Im gonna laugh watching you get rebounded off the juke box. Gg read more

Dewey's, I honestly didn't think you would turn out to be a gem! This was our fourth stop on the Pub Crawl and we had SOOO much fun here!! The drinks were cheap, DIRT cheap!!! I think it was $8.50 for two drinks. Only at Zeke's can you get those kinds of prices, IMO! We had a "flaming" drink, courtesy of Mo and Shawn, which was AWESOME!! Two person drink and Shawn's special surprise to us! Truly appreciated Shawn!! They had karaoke and we rocked two songs. One we hijacked. Sorry to the girl who was singing but we're just WAY more magnetic!! ;) The only things I will say about this place are: 1) They didn't tell us they could not take American Express cards BEFORE the card was given out and 2) Beers were only in bottles. Nothing on tap. Still, I would DEF come back to this place!! read more

Based on my past karaoke experiences this is the best I've ever had. Our group showed up ready to sing loud and proud but there was only one problem - the DJ was leaving in 30 minutes. A fellow yelper convinced the DJ to stay longer and the DJ obliged our group. The stage was set. Being a dive bar aficionado, I immediately felt at home. There were a few screens showing sports and the bartenders were all fun and no-frills. I ordered a bud light and 2 newcastles. Total price - 11 bucks. Sweet! I found the song book and scribbled in my selection and handed it to the DJ. The DJ was really friendly and didn't look at all peeved he had to stay longer. Our group had a great time as everyone that was on the mic picked some fun tunes. We sang along with most of them. A while later, the DJ announced my song would be the last. My cousin and I got up there and did our best. The bar was laid back and fun due to the bartenders and the DJ. As far as a karaoke dive bar goes, this place is great! What did I sing you ask? Guess you just had to be there. read more

If you love cheap beers, unpretentious ambiance, good service and serious good karaoking times, you need to get your butt to Dewey's Tavern in SoBe. This dive bar is everything you ever wanted and more. I had never been to Dewey's so i was excited to know it'd be the second stop in Yelp's SoBe Dive Bar Dash. We get there and the place is cute and cozy. The beer is cheap ($4) and a very chill feel. I had heard that they had killer karaoke and being the singing queen that I am, I was disapointed to leave without torturing fellow pub-crawlers with my skills, but we had keep the ball rolling. Little did I know, we were to wrap the night up to the tune of rock. We made our way back to Dewey's at 1ish and a dude, Alex, was rocking to Weezer's "Say It Ain't So"... ah, at home at last. We crawled around the pool tables to the Big Book o' Songs and made our group choices. The Dj was really cool, though it was Spring Forward time and he wanted to head out earlier but we made sure he didn't. The cool thing about this place is that gifted singers and tone deaf losers feel welcome. People sing along with the Mariah Careys as well as with the William Hungs. The DJ plays great music between songs, allowing for some dancing as well, making it all the more fun. From the little old man singing Oscar d'Leon to the freaky rocker dude with the voice of an angel singing The Doors' "Break on Through", everyone is guaranteed a good time. Cheap drinking + great DJ + Karaoke = the best ending to a great night... of course, our rendition of rock's classics like Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" and *NSYNC's "Bye, Bye, Bye" tore the house down. Mission Kick Ass Times: Accomplished. read more

What a freak show this was. Was excited to try this place because sometimes you're just in the mood for a scummy bar but things got a little out of hand. Two women were approaching every man in the bar, God knows what they were saying to them but 15 min. later they changed into lingerie and were selling "raffle tickets" I will say that their wings and burgers are pretty tasty. And I like their little outdoor area, I'm not sure I'd feel safe venturing inside. read more

God bless townie bars. They are the only places where, when ordering ' a couple of miller lites for me an my buddy ' results in a bucket of beer. Or where a dog laying on the bar is just totally natural. Or even where a regular alternates his sidebar conversations with you between comments on his (bad) pool game and accusing you of being 'a Fed'. Some of this might have happened at Dewey's - all of it could - and I hope to be part of more townie moments there every time I return. P.s. I am not a Fed read more

3.5 stars You definitely won't find any tourists at Dewey's that's for sure. This local DIVE bar always has a very STRANGE mix of people. In fact the gambit runs from downright scary borderline homeless alchies to businessmen at lunch. I've been to lunch here on several occasions as well as watched numerous sporting events here, and its a pretty cool casual place to go without any hassle. The times I have went to watch games, my friends have made up the majority of the patrons in the place so they were pretty accommodating with putting what we wanted on the TVs. What I am surprised about is that no one has mentioned the GREAT burgers here. Very surprisingly they make an incredible sirloin burger that is HUGE. It is definitely big enough to share. The drinks are also cheap, although the place is a little grimy. Service is suspect depending on how busy they are, but for a great local hang you can't ask for more. read more

Dewey's is a very good place to watch football and have some beer with friends. There are lots of TV sets with almost every game that's being televised. Sue, the bartender who was working while I was there with a friend, was very friendly and attentive. My buddy and I sat outside, where it was quite comfortable. He had a burger, which he seemed to enjoy. I had a bucket of fries which were okay at best. The fries may be fried in oil where other foods are deep-fried and absorb the taste of the other foods. BLECH! I repeat, it's a good place for football and beer. read more

This place is all about convenience for me. It is not my favorite Pub in Miami but it has what I like. Good food (the wings are damn good), affordable drinks although I must say they glasses are a bit small. I am usually around that area so for me it is a great place to have a last libation! Oh and the bartenders are really friendly! read more

I didn't have high expectations of this place...but the Saturday kareoke made it all good!!! 4th stop on the pub crawl (acc. to Em.V, I honestly don't rem at this point!)...had a hook-up with a flaming drink (thank you, Shawn!!)...it was like a race to drink it! We had to wait for the bartender to pour the conconction in and light it on fire...and say "go" before we stuck our straws in! The DJ guy was very accomodating to our drunken bunch...allowing 6 or 7 of us to go out and screech our lungs to Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody...and yes, we totally hijacked this girl's 3 mins of fame with "What's going on"??? I think that's a group-kareoke song after all! Crowd was rather interesting, one guy was in a wheelchair...(so yes it is wheelchair accessible, ramp to the outside bar), chefs post-work from Morton's...creepy old men and truck-drivers 30-ish men... To be honest, the crowd doesn't matter if you come in with your own crew! :) Tip-bits: Song choices were organized by song title read more

I don't go to Dewey's often but I ended up there for the Super Bowl and it was a good time. Got a table on the outdoor covered terrace and the buckets of beer kept coming. They had some specials going on, like a burger and a beer for $8. It was packed and the girls who work there were doing a great job. Only complaints are the boring beer selection (bottles only) and they should install some kind of surround sound system...the only speakers were the ones on the TVs and it was impossible to hear anything. read more

Welcome to Dewey's.... SoBe Dive Bar Extraordinaire! Seriously, this place is one of the best dive bars in all of Miami. I love how it doesn't care about anything but having a good time. You can come in here dressed up, dressed down, and maybe even in your PJs (though I've yet to try that). They've got cheap beers, cheap liquor, and food (although I've yet to taste it) so you dont have to worry about drinking on an empty stomach. The staff is friendly, there's plenty of space to spread out, and they've even got a pool table. There's nothing complicated or detailed about Dewey's as an establishment- it's just a laid back place to have a drink with some buddies... simple as that. read more

Awesome chill bar! I like this place a lot. They have a juke box to play your favorite tunes and a pool table. Drinks are cheap and they make them strong =D Bartenders are super nice too. If you get food I got the mozzeralla cheese sticks and jalpeno poppers and they were amazing. By the way I ate them before I got drunk so I can credibly say they were truly good. Stop by for a late night drink with friends and you can meet some of the locals around. Pretty easy going people. On occasion it can get a little roudy though. =) read more

Not closed....but it should be. We popped in to watch one of the FIFA matches...both bathrooms were foul, sinks drained into buckets, the bar was dead.....don't go....... read more

If I was a regular anywhere on South Beach, it was at Dewey's. If I needed to meet with people, I suggested Dewey's. If I needed to kill time, I suggested Dewey's. If I needed to unwind at a low key joint, Dewey's again. The beer selection is what you'd expect from any bar, but where Dewey's kicked major ass was they had Rolling Rock bottles. Being my favorite beer, after a while they ordered them each week just for me. Gotta love that. The food is pretty good all things considered, I'd recommend the wings or the quesadilla. It can get unnecessarily loud with the music sometimes, so be mindful. Dewey's, many a great idea born here. read more

I came into apply and was told that they only hire girls.. not sure why cause the place is dead and I'm actually glad they made an excuse for me to leave cause it was gross with not a single soul in there besides the girl bartender who didn't acknowledge me sitting at the bar for about 5 minute cause she was too busy eating a salad and on her phone. If you are in Miami Beach area don't waste your time here. read more

Dewey's looks like a dive on the outside, but it's actually quite nice inside. Well, maybe it's a dive for South Beach standards. It's a local sports bar with a friendly vibe and they have a little annex bar outside in the back with a flat screen. When it's crowded inside, you can sneak out back and catch the game and avoid all the jostling elbows. read more

Dewy's was a great hang out bar/time killer while your laundry is washing next door. I like that the outdoor bar has large tables so a party of 6 can all sit together. We ordered beer and the bar tender brought us all the "fixings" to make michealatas (tomato juice, Tabasco, lime, Worcestershire, salt and pepper). She even drank one with us too. We also ordered our favorite bar food staples like wings and fried cheese. Not bad for $10 per person. read more

The best spot on the beach for 1. Avoiding tourists and 2. Cheap beer. It is the best local's hang out in the area and most of south beach can walk here with no problem. The food is incredibly unhealthy and as such tastes great. The fries are addictive but loaded with salt. The best part about this place is they will put any sports event you want on at least one tv. read more

Complete disappointment. Totally empty. Only 1 type of tequila. Payton reposado $13 margarita. No cook and no draft beers. They had "run out" of everything else and no actual menu. Definitely not going back. Waitress looked lost and clueless. read more

This place is pretty biker bar-ish. It's quite smokey and kind of smelley but the bar food is decent if you are going for a fry fest and the drinks are reasonably priced. read more

This place is my go to local bar in South Beach. I always get excellent service here. The food is great too! Cheap food...Cheap drinks= AWESOME! :) They have karaoke on Saturday nights and the DJ is a great guy. This bar has a ton of TVs that always have sports on them. You can also bring your 4 legged buddies with you!!! read more

this is great find hidden among the tourist traps in the village of south beach. located several blocks away from the ocean, luckily only yelper tourists like me have found it. let's keep it that way for my next trip to miami in 2 weeks. a great dive bar, always a mixture of weirdos, hipsters, working professionals, blue collared folk , some cubans and international folks and the ocassional tourist (us) drinks are cheap (by miami standards) but pretty ridiculous even by NYC standards for a dive where there are no tourists. it is definitely a stop on the south beach pub crawl. highly recommended on the local miami dive circuit read more

We went here with a group for some drinks and food. I was already a bit tipsy at the time so I was paying as close attention to my evaluation of the place at the time. But the service was super friendly and our waitress was very patient with us despite the fact that we were a large group of loud drunks. ;) I had a grilled chicken sandwich and fries which were tasty. Nothing amazing but no complaints either. Overall it gets my stamp of approval. read more

Came in on my way home and thought I would get some of their chicken wings but I was told the kitchen was closed. So sad! However, the bartender, Morgan gave me some carrots and grapes from her own stash! Tasted great and my 4 other friends had a great time. I will be back but a little earlier before the kitchen closes! read more

Total dive bar! Cheap drinks especially for Miami! The wings were great!
