You won't get that in the tourist areas. I went on a Friday night and there were people everywhere. On the sidewalk and on the streets. I don't even know how cars managed to make it through, there were so many people. There was loud music but I don't remember if it was coming from this club or the open air club across the street... It all bleeds together after a while. This spot is less of a club and more of a local hangout spot. Not really much dancing going on... Just drinking, talking, laughing, and catching up with friends. Not quite a "chill" vibe, but much more chill than some of the surrounding venues. Perfect for enjoying a few beers or cocktails, people watching, and unwinding after a long week, or a long flight.

Loved watching everyone no matter how old get into the groove. - El Final: red room with DJ booth for more dancing fun - El Desvío: Super small 10-seat candlelit area slightly hidden - La Cubanita: where we parked ourselves to chill Lowlights: - Weekend nights gets very crowded with a line out front in the heart of the nightlife area in old town.

This is a more of a bar than restaurant but it offers some restaurant style menu items along with some unique cocktails. We tried a cocktail with grapefruit and gin; don't remember the name. It was better than expected. The place has an urban, hipster-like atmosphere. It's basically one large room with a bar, a few tables of varying sizes, and two "lounge" areas with couches. It also sports a few TVs. We came here on the recommendation for the Mero Bites (deep fried grouper); an appetizer. So we ordered those, a Quesadilla de Pollo, and a side of Tostones. The Tostones came with a mayo-ketchup style dipping sauce and tasted like, you guessed it, tostones. The Quesadilla de Pollo came with small sides of sour cream, refried black beans, and guacamole. It was also drizzled with a creamy sauce. Overall, it was satisfying and better than average. The Mero Bites were definitely worth it. They were large flakey chunks of grouper, deep fried to a golden brown, and slightly crispy. They came with a side of tartar that paired with them perfectly but they were delicious without it as well. Definitely get the Mero Bites if you go here. The staff was friendly and our waiter was excellent. If you're in the area and want a snack and a drink, I'd recommend stopping in for the Mero Bites and one of their unique cocktails. The Mero Bites alone were worth the visit.

It was incompetente and idiotic. The people that work there either have a low IQ or don't have a sense of geometry. Either way, please learn how to work a bar before actually doing it.

The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful, and the service was excellent from beginning to end,from the hostess to the servers and bussers. Our server, Jeffery, was amazing! He was energetic, professional, attentive, and you can genuinely tell he takes his position seriously. I loved that! We were greeted with complimentary sopa de plátano and bacalaítos, and I was NOT expecting to love them as much as I did. This was by far the best sopa de plátano I've ever had. I never thought I could fall in love with a soup, but here we are! (I ordered a whole extra regular size bowl )The bacalaítos were another surprise because they're normally not something I order or even particularly like--and I've tried quite a few in my life--but these were absolutely delicious. My S/O and I shared the churrasco with arroz mamposteao, along with a side of avocado salad and majado de viandas. Everything was a straight 10/10. Not one disappointment on the table. They also make an amazing Rojo Pico, which was the perfect addition to the experience. 100% recommend Casita Miramar. Don't overthink JUST GO!
