This place is always a vibe!! The espresso martini is soo good, they add a lemon zest to it and grate some chocolate on top. Absolutely delicious! The mojito is also phenomenal, I love the fancy ice they add to the cocktail. It makes it 10x better. Parking can be a bit complicated. There is street parking and a lot or parking garage close by. Other than that, it's a great time. The service is quick. The music is great, it feels like it's 2016 and they also play some 80s music. It's an entire vibe! You've gotta check them out! read more

Still one of my favorite bars in Downtown Miami. Good happy hour and the cocktails are amazing! They recently added new concoctions to the menu just in time for the busy holiday season. Make sure to check them out. Drinks are not watered down but always well-balanced and potent. My go-to is their Old Fashioned, of course, but I have a new favorite called Urban Cowboy. It's made with Maple Bacon Infused Maker's Mark, vanilla cinnamon syrup, bitters and cedar smoke. So good! I also recently tried the Red Flag made with Cazadores Blanco, lime, agave, strawberry-infused Aperol, and topped with bubbles. So refreshing and tasty. You cant go wrong with any of their cocktails. The mixologist knows what they're doing and as a matter of fact, this place has won several competitions during SOBEWFF. It gets packed late at night, especially Friday and Saturday so get there at a decent hour so you grab a table or space by the bar. Will keep coming back! read more

I didn't realize that this was a "dive bar" because it's a little upscale. The prices are In line with downtown Miami. Service is slow sometimes but the vibe will make you sit around for it. I've never tried food there but the drinks are ok. My latest visit was disappointing but I'll return. They do have TouchTunes so you can be the DJ. read more

Mama Tried - Pubs Near Me - Miami, Florida

"Luz female bartender Latina curly hair" Went in last night, I'm a Miami local that has been going for years, last night I bartended in the FIFA event for 12 hours and decided to go for a drink, after I made the line on the right side of the place I'm waiting there with another girl , the door opens and the girl in front of me goes in, but the girl that comes out tells me that the bathroom is closed, which is a little confusing giving that I'm literally watching them coming in and out (it was clear they were together), with crazy attitude, she tells me to basically get out of there that the bathroom is broken as I'm watching them going in front of me mind you I have already been making the line for a while and my friends were on that side so I mentioned oh it's OK let me just at least retouch my lipstick. She tells me "I work here and if you want to do your lipstick you go outside if you want?" in other words this is what I say and if you don't like it, you could leave the establishment . Not sure what was up with her attitude. I simply just wanted to use the bathroom and in that case just at least make use out of the time that I spent in the line by at least checking myself in the mirror. "Luz" was her name, a simple hey love this bathroom is not working you can go to the other side where there's two more bathrooms... that would've been suffice to simply advise me to an alternative instead of telling me to leave the establishment. That's horrible advice from a worker there when all I wanted was just to use the bathroom instead she gave me crazy attitude. Then I had to ask around and all the workers kept telling me to go to that same bathroom, until finally, I was offered an alternative to the other side where there was two more. She acted like she run the place and proceeded to take multiple shots right after being rude to me she's telling me that she's a worker there but she's drinking and being a total bitch, elite worker I would say. As someone who has been bartending for nine years, that's such a bad look for this spot, rude worker that's a little too much in her head about her position. It's clear this is her playground and what she gives priority to as a worker. If the bathroom was broken, then she needs to enforce it and not use it and let her friends in as-well in front of other customers, also its how you come across certain things and having a nasty ass attitude to customers for absolutely no reason is definitely not the way to go. I genuinely didn't even do nothing wrong or caused any problems. Didn't think I deserved that, and her attitude honestly kind of ruined my night after a really long day of work that I just wanted to relax. read more

Obsessed. Might be my favorite bar. Has a good dive bar feel and reminds me of better days. But they actually have really good drinks. Music is awesome. Bartenders are cool. Want to go every weekend. read more

I have never seen something like I did tonight. I went out with my Friend and his Girlfriend and he threw a lime at my friend for touching him. my parents work in hospitality and I asked them if that is acceptable or they have experienced something like that and they work in a bank and I understand it's different jobs but it's hospitality at the end of the day and that was the worst and most disrespectful experience I have ever been in, even though it didn't happen to me i felt super uncomfortable an I honestly do not feel like ever going back there again. this was not my first time But if that bartender is still there I WILL NEVER GO BACK. WORST AND MOST DISRESPECTFUL EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD. read more

Never experienced or have went through something so unprofessional/ inappropriate. my boyfriend tapped the bartender and the bartender said. " don't ever touch me again in your life." which i understand until he threw a lime and it hit me. I hope something is done before because I go to MAMA TRIED at least once every 2 weeks but that experience has forever ruined my experience especially all my friends that also saw. It is just super crazy to me to get super defensive about getting touched when you are a bartender... If you don't want to get touched I really hope MAMA is able to find people that don't throw limes at people for paying. this was the worst experience I have ever had in a night out and I have worked at MULTIPLE AND I MEAN MULTIPLE BARS. read more

Such a fun spot for a late night drink! The vibes give dive bar but the drinks are upscale and definitely worth the hype. The Porn Star Martini is the "star" of the show. Visually it's a cool looking cocktail but it tastes phenomenal as well. The staff is great and the interior has tons of character/charm. read more

I've been invited here many times, and glad that I finally made it out. It was a Dusse event so the special drink list was really nice. I chose the Mama Tried espresso martini and I'm so glad I did.

We were in the area on a Tuesday night and saw the sign above the entrance to Mama Tried all lit up - but we nearly didn't come here as it looked relatively lifeless outside with little activity. We decided to walk over and have a look and I'm glad we did, as it was definitely a happy find! Mama Tried is a decent-sized eclectic bar with a pool table and a live DJ most nights, with a varied drink menu and a humorous "back story" on their website if you take the time to look it up. The bartenders were fast and friendly, and I really liked the cocktail I had - flavorful but not sickening sweet as one tends to find in many cocktail bars of late. Best of all, they have a generous happy hour and this place is open late. read more

YALL. WHAT?! The new Mama Tried menu is ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL. The drinks are up to their original standard, but they're modern and absolutely delicious. I would absolutely recommend checking out the new menu, hang out for the vibes & and definitely get a cocktail from Dominique! She's an amazing bartender and took awesome care of us. read more

Had a fun experience at Mama Tried, will definitely be back. Great vibes and super friendly people.

I've gotten my phone stolen twice here but it literally will not stop me from coming back. There is truly something so special at mama tried and I absolutely adore every time I have come here. From the music, to the drinks to the staff, you truly can never have a bad time. I will say just be extra careful with your phone and wallet since there are major pic pockets here and keep your phone on a leash or SOMETHING LOL read more

Second visit to Mama Tried and it was just as good as the first. We didn't have any food this time, but the drinks were on point tequila soda, cranberry orange vodka, and a Negroni. The ambiance is still amazing and the music was popping all night. AJ was an awesome bartender and took great care of us. Definitely worth coming back, especially since they're open until 5 a.m. read more

Miami needs more dive bars like Mama Tried! Lots of character, unpretentious, and down-to-earth. It's a nice cozy and dark atmosphere when you want to escape. Ironically, I got a French 75 here - a decidedly not very "dive bar" drink but it was on the menu and is one of my favorites, so couldn't not get it. read more

The bartender with a Pony tail bun threw a lime at me cause he didn't like his job. I work in hospitality and I really really hope the management does something about this super unprofessional treatment. I tapped the bartender AFTER PAYING FOR A CORONA and word for word he said "don't ever touch me again in your life." as a bartender??? isn't that your job. after that I SWEAR TO GOD, he threw a lime at me and my girlfriend and ended up hitting my girlfriend. I really hope and REALLY really hope he gets fired cause that is the worst and I mean worst hospitality/ service I ever experienced. I've worked at MULTIPLE AND I MEAN MULTIPLE bars and restaurants that was the worst and most disrespectful service I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. that is not the first time I have went too mama tried but if he is still there that is definitely the last time i will ever go. How are you going to let a bartender disrespect multiple customers. I am not the only one that went through this experience so if that bartender is still there it really shows how much MAMA TRIED tries. Like I said before if he is still there when there is so much better and more respectful bartenders (speaking from experience, working in this field) I really really hope MAMA actually does something cause that has forever ruined my experience. read more

Mama Tried? More like Mama TIRED. It's 2026 imagine still being homophobic. I'm absolutely disgusted with how my group got treated here last night. From getting thrown out for contemplating using the mens restroom, up to the point of the manager saying "you people don't belong here." EEEEYUCK. this place ain't it. There are so many clubs/bars in the Miami scene. Definitely skip this one. read more

At first I thought this would be a cool low key place bc their drink prices were reasonable. I went with my BF and his friend before going to mode. We paid the bill and our friend tipped cash. However, when we received the statement from our bank, we noticed a $10 tip was added without our approval. Didn't even think to get a receipt when leaving. I disputed it to the bank anyway in hopes of further action and credit card fraud charge possibility. I won't be returning. read more

We came here during happy hour (daily until 8pm) which includes $7 cocktails and $5 wells and it was pretty much empty when we arrived. There is a large bar area to order drinks and some tables on the exterior of the space. There is also a pool table and a music machine if you want to pay to play some tunes. We ordered the old fashioned, palomita, and the pineapple daiquiri. All the drinks were great especially the palomita; we liked the dim lights and the vibes. Our bartender was also great (didn't get his name) and he gave us some recommendations for restaurants and bars in the area. I'd highly recommend coming here during happy hour if you're in the downtown Miami area to get some discounts on delicious drinks. read more

First off, let me start by saying the place is very crowded for the size of the location. The ambiance is giving bar/ a bit of club vibe. I didn't get any food but the drinks were good, nothing crazy. There are a lot of college students there especially sorority girls and fraternity boys. There are street parking available read more

DO NOT GO TO THIS BAR!!!! they have an entire operation on stealing phones. They pick pocket you and the security is in on it. They will give problems once you call them out on it but they let these people come in and security helps them. Warning everyone beware or you will get your stuff stolen! read more

No matter how many places I try, I keep circling back to Mama Tried. The energy here is unmatched -- gritty, lively, and effortlessly cool without trying too hard. The music always hits, the cocktails are creative and balanced, and the whole room feels electric in the best way. It's the kind of spot where a quick drink easily turns into an unforgettable night. The staff keeps things moving and the atmosphere stays fun from start to finish. Just stay aware of your belongings in a packed crowd and enjoy the ride. read more

Very cool chill place, come here on Saturdays with the girls to dance and have a few drinks . It does get really packed so be mindful of that. Overall nice vibes. read more

Friend lives in the area so we walked over four a quick cocktail before calling it a night. We ordered Kentucky Moscow mules with Jamison and they were delicious but next time I'm totally trying the Something Spicy with Mezcal. The Something Spicy with Mezcal has roast rosemary which is roasted in front of you in the cocktail glass. It made for a fun presentation, and the rosemary roasting was very aromatically pleasing. Prices are very reasonable and the service was spectacular! It's a great little hole in the wall type of place with a pool table, arcade game, and plenty of bar/table seating. read more

Cool music, cool specialty cocktails, cool atmosphere. Have not yet been to their happy hour but it seems like a great time to go. Went here for my birthday and the bouncer gave me a hug and told me happy birthday. Street parking and parking garage right next to the bar and very close to a metro station depending on how you manage to get yourself to the bar. Might wanna bring earplugs. read more

Service was not good . The staff and the manager were rude . We were barely there for 20 mins and we felt very unwelcome.

Writing this from my new phone, because mine got stolen from Mama Tried this past weekend, as well as my camera My friend and at least 4 other people got their phones or wallets stolen here the same night out there as well. I've read that this is an ongoing issue at this bar. Unfortunate because it is fun. Stay safe out there y'all. read more

Perfectly located in downtown Miami. This is a frequent stop for pre and post gaming lol. The place is relatively small with a 1920's decor. I absolutely love the starry ceiling above the bar! Drinks are amazing and crafted by skilled and friendly bartenders. They have a great happy hour (til 8pm!) and the place gets packed as the night goes on. Good music and drinks makes this a great place to stop by on your night out. We came before and after a heat game but often come before and/or after an event. The vibe is usually great and drinks are always delish. Great walking distance from the arena and other fun downtown treasures. read more
