Duffy's Tavern - Beer is cold. Great little hole in the wall bar. - Bars Near Me - Miami, Florida

While Duffy's may not be your typical "five star" joint, it checks all the boxes of what I may want from a sports bar and evokes a little nostalgia that bumps it up a notch. We recently moved nearby and have swung by a couple of times to watch college and NFL games. The menu has game day favorites, plus a few surprises. We've tried things like mozzarella sticks, buffalo bites, burgers, fish dip, and even key lime pie. It all hit the spot, but I wouldn't come just for the food. Now what does stand out is the speed at which the food comes out... Lightning fast! Two downsides for me would be that it's cash only and they don't offer any sort of local beer on tap. There is an ATM onsite though which charged a $2 fee. A few perks include ample parking, friendly staff, and a fun environment. There's even covered seating outside with a big screen TV which I can't wait to take advantage of when the weather cools down! There are TVs all over the place and when the Canes are on, you can bet it's on all of them with sound. It's awesome this spot has so much history, evident by all the pictures on the walls and tables! Definitely makes me continue to want to support this family oriented restaurant for years to come. read more

Miami you have a neighborhood gem!! From the greetings at the door to the attendant at the bar, you feel like you are a local. The conversations are easy and light hearted. The menu has an abundance of choices for everyone. **Tip** Make sure you look at the daily specials, they featured a Grouper anyway you wanted it prepared, blackened, grilled or fried. I took it grilled with a baked potato. The portions were perfect. A great evening out with customers!!' I will be back soon. *Note Cash Only* ***The owner of the restaurant was present and engaged with customers to his employees to ensure everything and everyone was taken care of*** read more

This is the Original Duffys! My FAVORITE local bar. I have been coming here for years! At least twice a week when I lived in Miami. Now I have to drive 4 hours to get my fix. Worth it! My go to is usually always the chicken salad sandwich with a side of onion rings and a shock top to go with it. The beer specials are so great and on Mondays they have buy one get one and $5 burgers. They always have a good specials going on. The food is always made fresh and the environment is very pleasant. This is a cash only place! They do have an ATM so that helps. Plenty of seating available although I prefer to sit at the bar. Jimmy and Joe are my favorite bartenders They have been there for so long and it doesn't feel the same without them there. They truly make the whole experience unique. Can't forget the guy with the funky chef pants! You'll know what I mean when you see him and I'm pretty sure I've never seen him wearing the same ones! he's one of my faves always there in a great mood. They always show alot of sports on the TV's but when game time is over They have a tunebox and you can connect with your phone and put any song you want. they have an outdoor area that has been recently decked out so be sure to check it out. Don't sleep on this place! You'll fall in love. read more

Just came here for the first time and was very pleased. Atmosphere is great, food is a 4 star but still very good. It's mostly the atmosphere and friendliness that's great. For some reason they ONLY accept cash payments. Sounds sketchy but it's not a sketchy place. They have an atm inside where you can withdraw cash. read more

I argue this is the best bar in America. Wayne the owner could be one of the nicest owners I've ever met. Great grouper fingers and beer prices. Inside and outside seating. This is what a good bar looks and feels like. Tell em verde from the pike house sent you. read more

I am a fan of Duffy's. I come to Duffy's nearly every week for a Toastmasters meeting. The owner and staff are the best. I had come to Duffy's a few times before I started visiting regularly for my weekly meeting when I did not live in Miami. I came when I visited a friend who lived in Coral Gables (it was his neighborhood and favorite bar). I also ate and drank here a few times when I lived close by in South Miami, the first year I lived in Dade. I have probably eaten here about 40 times now (a little late for my review, eh) and I have never had a bad experience. On the contrary, all my experiences have been good. Heads up, this Duffy's is not part of the chain and it is family owned and operated. They must have predated the chain. The atmosphere at Duffy's is super relaxed. Duffy's is the kind of bar you grow to love. I have had a lot of meals here. The burgers are very good and a typical bar burger on the higher end of that scale. Duffy's does a really good job with fish. I usually get blackened grouper or salmon on nearly every visit. Duffy's has an outdoor seating area as well. Deceptively there is plenty of parking. If you live or work near the Gables or South Miami you probably already know about Duffy's ... and if you do not, you should. Cheers, and see you soon. ;-) read more

Best dive bar in the Coral Gables area. Owner managed which makes for an awesome wait staff and good food. It's our neighborhood go to. It's been around forever. An Iconic bar that never disappoints! read more

I enjoy the restaurant but it is maddening that you can't pay with a credit card. It's 2022 and I never carry cash or an ATM card because I just never use them. I can't tell you how many times I have driven by intending to stop and eat but then I remember you can't use a card so I keep on driving. read more

Going here for years. Feels like Cheers to me. Typical bar food, but not over greasy and certainly tasty. It's low key yummy and fun.

This is a very special place for the many locals that frequent Duffy's Tavern. The family that owns and operate it are the loveliest people and they make kids feel warm and welcome. I love their death burger and their pork schnitzel. The lentil soup and the Irish potato soup are excellent. read more

Some things never change. Haven't been here in over 20 years. Met up to have a Death Burger, cold beers, talk trash. Walked in and it's like I never left. Same atmosphere, decor inside, with outside dining, plenty of parking. Good menu even had Blackened Grouper, Wahoo, who serves Wahoo any more? Great fast, friendly service. Glad I came back again. read more

Suuuuper friendly workers and locals and ambiance ! Came here on a Friday night and I was treated like a regular! Even made some friends along the way ! Nice little homie bar with lots of parking. There was a nice crowd but lots of seating too. The bartenders made me feel at home. I am not from here and I'm traveling solo-- I couldn't feel more welcome. I ordered the sweet potatoes fries which were delicious -- as well as a simple champagne. Sometimes it not just about what goes in your mouth, but also about how people make you feel. No pun intended But overall an excellent little spot to go and chill. Have a drink and eat some food. I recommend ! read more

I have recently started to go to Duffy's as a friend recommendation. This place is wonderful. Reminds me of the bar Cheers, where everyone knows your name. Friendly, inexpensive and good. I recommend going on Monday for the half off burgers. Which are great by the way. Not very fancy. If that is what you want, this is not the place. This is a down to earth place that serves surprising good food. read more

First time here - absolutely god awful food. Sent my mushroom burger back. Bacon was tough, cheese was not what i ordered and not melted. ordered a medium burger and it was red as a lobster. mushrooms uncooked and they forgot my onions. ordered buffalo wings, they came plain and burnt. they said after they didnt have any buffalo sauce. Instead gave me an unmarked bottle of hot sauce. My waiter also spoke close to no english. atmosphere, the look of the interior is beautiful but the place definitely needs new management. If I could give no stars I would. read more

Went to Duffy's tonite with my wife and 6 year old kid. Been going there since I was 19 which was the drinking age in 1984. Duffy's used to be great but the place has gone severely downhill. It used to be a real bar. it had a bar feel and character. It had a personality. Now it's just a kichy restaurant with a small bar. Over the years the owners took out the pool tables, foosball, and jukebox that made the place fun at one time and replaced them with as many tables they could cram in. That was the beginning of the end of Duffy's as I knew it In its heyday when Thursday and Friday was so crammed with UM students, you could barely move inside. As the place I once loved and partied at from 19 until my mid twenties slowly morphed into a cheaper version of a Flanagans, I still kept going because at least the wings and burgers were good and fairly priced. The beer was good even though the owners order the staff to leave a hefty head of foam in your glass or pitcher. By the time the foam disssolved away it was like two beers were missing from the pitcher. Ive never had a cheaper pour for a pitcher than here. Once in my early twenties I asked the bartender to please fill my pint to the top because ia third of it was foam. He looked at me in dread and said that's how he was ordered to pour a pint. I then asked Jimmy, one of the owners about the shitty pour and he gave me a long angry speech about how thats a proper pour in Germany. I never said another word about it and kept going because the beer was still cold and the food good. Tonite may be last time i go there. The food sucked. The once great wings were not so great And super overpriced. The menu said $10.95 but the bill came for $14.95. The waiter said the menu price hadn't been updated. The $4.00 price increase for ten shitty small shitty wings is ridiculous. The once awesome burger was terrible and smaller than it once was. Where they used to form their own patties, tonites looked like a commercial patty. The broccoli cheese soup was watery like they poured water in the soup to stretch it out or something. Again, I got a shitty pour on the two pints I drank. However this time the shortage on the beer was annoying Because the food sucked. RIP Duffy's. it seems like the quest to squeeze every ounce of profit from this cash only place (no credit cards). place costed you on the quality end of your product.. After that the customers will go too. read more

My boyfriend has been coming here since forever and he wanted for me to go with him since for him is such a cool place. We went last Saturday and the vine of this place is very relaxing , good food , reasonable prices, and great customer service . What else can you ask for .. i order the death burger and amazing , he order a cheeseburger and we also got wings ... then we stayed for a couple of more hours and we ended up ordering fish dip it was not my favorite and the chili hot dog and yummmm read more

It's been my neighborhood bar for 35 years, I love this place! Great selection of beers on tap, great burgers and a full liquor bar at reasonable prices. If you are in the area, this place is a must try. read more

Come with Cash! This is one of the old-time taverns that doesn't take credit cards! Somehow it works for them. I bet they could make more if they took plastic... But I digress This is a typical tavern or pub with typical food and drink. For the vegetarian, they do have a veggie burger. That's about it though. But when the mood strikes this is a place I think of for the burger fix. Even better, on Monday's they offer the $5.50 burger special. You really can't beat that. The fries are always hot and crisp too. They have a full bar and offer a good selection of beers on tap. The Happy Hour is great. Monday-Friday 3-6pm they have 2 for 1 specials. On top of that, for the late night owls; after 11pm they again offer 2 for 1. Now That makes cash only seem trivial. read more

Didn't try any of the food here, only came to drink during the 11pm-1am happy hour. The drinks are two for one, and they have nice selection of beers to choose from. It was a Friday night and it wasn't crazy packed, just people hanging out around the bar watching sport highlights on the tv's. If you love everything about beer , then you will feel like you are in beer heaven. There are all kinds of beer bottles hanging from the roof as if they were angels falling from the sky, it's beautiful. Did I mention the 2 for 1 happy hour is EVERY NIGHT? Definitely coming back. read more

Not good. Charged gratuity for party of 4? on bill and said nothing when we gave a generous cash tip. Basic.

My burger was great cooked to perfection and quick for pick up. This the kind of place you keep back to because of the homey feel you get and the great bar food choices. Mine was a pick up this time but they are great for dine in too. read more

This is the worst restaurant I have ever been to in my life. The only good waiter there was the woman because the other man is very dry and the other one was drunk. This place is cash only so when the ATM was used it charged $3 for checking the balance and $3 for ATM withdrawal. Then, when we received our bill we were going over the receipt and there were wrong drinks charged. When we asked the waiter he grabbed the receipt is a very rude way and gave us horrible attitude. He said that in their system, gray goose and Tito's is charged under gray goose. This was very confusing and only god knows if that's true or if they charged us more for what we drank. Bottom line- I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. So much for trying to support small businesses. read more

I've lived down the block from this restaurant for three years and never thought to go in. Finally got invited by a friend and was very pleasantly surprised. The food is great, the service is very friendly. It feels a lot like the bars you'd find in NY, but it's here in Miami. The buffalo bites or mozz sticks are good choices for apps. Pork chops and steak are yum. Good selection of beer. read more

Went to Duffy's Tavern with a few friends after work. We were hanging out for several hours, ordering several different appetizers and drinks throughout the night before ordering burgers. The atmosphere was eh. There were barely any people in the bar or at the tables. (I cannot speak about the small number of tables outside because I did not see anyone out there.) There was no music playing until we played the jukebox. The female bartender was certainly shooting us plenty of looks as we were singing, laughing, and having fun. It certainly did not make us feel welcome. The fries with cheese were probably the best thing we ate all night. They were perfectly seasoned, crispy, and a generous portion. We also had a few orders of the boneless buffalo wings. They were just okay. The special soup of the day was Manhattan fish chowder. That was inedible to all. What we were really looking forward too were the burgers that everyone raves about. Nowhere on the menu did it say that the burgers were served with mayo on them yet it did specify that it was served with lettuce and tomato. I tried masking the mayo but couldn't. I tried taking off the top bun where the mayo was. That didn't help either. Because of it, I only ate half. As for the drinks, the beers were served cold. Anything served on the rocks were very small. I am not a big drinker at all but my friends certainly made plenty of comments about it. This was my first time here and I had originally only heard good things. I am assuming that things had changed because it was nothing compared to the hype. I am not sure that I will be back. Also important to add, if you do choose to go there, they do have an ATM with a $2.00 charge on site since they only take cash! read more
