I stopped in for a quick bite on a Tuesday afternoon. At 4 PM there were very few people there, just a couple of guys at the bar. I ordered the French Onion soup and a Reuben. The food was predictable/fine, and it came out really quickly. The bartender was efficient - friendly. She didn't hover, just checked on me from time to time. If you're looking for haute cuisine, you're in the wrong place. But if you like solid food (sports bar stuff), and decent prices, then you'll be pleased. read more

Cool sports bar up on the 7th floor I think. You go in the building and jump on the elevator and there are signs for it. Building is Uber going renovations right now so a little messy getting there. The food was outstanding, I had grilled mahi and it was perfection. I was surprised and was debating on getting fish in a sports bar but I'm glad I did. Check this place out if your in the area, we were there at lunch so very little people And got served right away read more

Wow. What a treat. Always loved this place, now even more. Old school dive bar on 9th floor worth a good vibe. Jacqueline the bartender was so sweet. Turns out she and 3 patrons there were all from Pittsburgh like me. So freaking cool. Had the wings which were amazing. This is a sister bar to Brysons in Miami Springs so I figured the wings were good and they were. Looks like I have a new bar to come watch my Steelers play during the football season. Keep up the solid work Miles. read more

Love this great hole in the wall spot! It can be tricky to find since it's located on the 9th floor of the Venetia building and parking can be tricky (limited street parking or valet). The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating and they allow smoking outdoors. They have lots of tvs as well so it's a great place to catch a game. It's definitely a no-thrills type of place so definitely more on the casual side. Their menu consists of bar food and their wings are our favorite! Highly recommended! Their prices are super good too. Service can be a little slow but always pleasant. Food and drinks come out at a timely manner. Love this hidden gem! read more

A bit hard to find on the 9th floor of the Venetian condos. We stopped in here for a quick bite with friends while staying at the Hilton Downtown the night before a cruise on a recommendation. Food was predictably good, not great but good for a local sports bar. Had the mahi Reuben blackened. It was a unique twist on the original, quite good. Service was quick, kind and polite. Wife had the seafood trio, it was not prepared correctly, ordered blackened, it came out something resembling boiled. Scallops were good but not hard seared like she likes them. Shrimp fettuccini alfredo was heavy and a large portion. Next time skip the wings, nothing special there in my opinion. Overall an okay meal for a reasonable price. Give it a try. read more

Service wasn't the best. I ordered a drink and our waitress completely forgot, so I asked her to cancelled it when she came back 30 mins asking if I still wanted it. read more

We stayed a week at a hotel within walking distance of Mike's, so it was usually our last stop for the night. It's a dive bar for sure, which is usually the most fun. All week, the servers were great and the food was very good. We were lucky to be there the night the Florida Panthers won the Stanley Cup, a great sports crowd! read more

Hard to find a good dive bar in Miami, with a local feel - this place is it! A hidden gem with pool tables and TouchTunes (iykyk)!

Ok location, the food was ok. The fish gumbo was very fishy tasting, the chicken tenders & fries were cold and flavorless. Service was very slow. read more

Gr8 fun & food! HH is a must and lots of specials throughout the week and during sports!!

This place is so good in every aspect that I am actually leaving a yelp review. The food was delicious and the prices are more than affordable with great proportions. The service was perfect and the view is pretty as well for an added bonus. I wish I could give this place more than five stars!!!! (Came back the next day and tried two new plates, so f*%#ing good) Drinks were amazing as well. I literally love this place read more

Food great! Service great! Atmosphere was exactly what the group needed! It was great and we were back the next day

We checked the Yelp community to guide us to this definite dive bar. Nice views of the bay. The service was fast and super nice. The food was underwhelming at best. Our party of 6 had various food items and none of us were impressed. The place was very dirty, dust was on everything. Makes you wonder about the kitchen. I hate posting negative reviews, but this place could do so much better! read more

The pizza was amazing. The toppings were cut perfect. The crust was perfectly toasted. The sauce is amazing and just the right amount. Absolutely need to try read more

Great casual food, strong drinks, saucy service, and the #1 view of Downtown Miami from the outdoor tables. Not for dilettantes. If you want to pay three times as much for "craft" cocktails, and battle with bone marrow, go elsewhere. You don't want to ruin the beautiful atmosphere here. read more

We were looking for somewhere to grab a bite. It was late and didn't want to drive much. What an interesting location. Classic neighborhood bar. Service is great. We got wings which were so good. Fish and chips was more batter than fish. Friend ordered the patty melt and said it was really good. Full bar. It's open late read more

If you know you know, Perfect for Game days , fantastic for rainy days, and a gold mine for art installers during one of the art fairs ! If you know. Also food is old school dive bar and the staff is fire! Pool tables in the back, smokers in the front! If I don't forget is on the 6 floor up in a vintage elevator! Good stuff read more

Came here for a Reuben sandwich on St Patrick's Day. It was decorated festively and they had Irish food and drink specials! An interesting place for sure as it's a bar on the pool deck of some apartment building near the Venetian causeway. Would be nice to sit outside bc there's a view of the ocean and a pool but it was under construction and had a weird smell. We had the Reuben and fish and chips which were both great. Reuben was definitely the best though. Also at a great price point for Miami. Definitely worth coming if you want a dive bar atmosphere and some bar food. Service was friendly and quick too. read more

We visited Mike's on July 19, 2025 based on the website and reviews. Location was okay, generally looked like lots of construction was in progress, so not the best ambiance as we approached. Server was sweet, but food runner seemed a little "off". We had an order of grilled salmon, which seemed more baked. The kicker here was it took more than an hour to arrive at the table and it was mixed up with the special. A special this night was parm-crusted salmon, and that topping was "rubbed" off to correct the order. Overall food taste was just "so-so", too, and it lacked seasoning. Our son labeled this experience as "click - baited", since the website looked much better than the real experience. read more

Building under construction very dodgy. The smell inside was so bad couldn't eat had to leave we felt ill. Cross between bleach and drain cleaner was terrible. read more

Late night menu is actually abysmal... mixed drinks are absolutely terrible and so poorly made. Got a special Bloody Mary and it was so watered down. The day time menu looks good but wouldn't recommend as a late night option read more

What can I say about my favorite bar in all of Miami! I've reviewed this before and I'll review it again! Hands down the best bartending staff in town and a bar who really takes care of their clients. Heather, Aly, Chelsey, Susan, Eli, EVERYONE! These bartenders are phenomenal, spectacular, stupendous... I don't have enough words to describe these individuals, cause they are all truly amazing! It's definitely not your typical bar, it isn't something glamorous or fancy, just a great bar to catch the game, hang out with friends, play some pool while playing your favorite song over the jukebox and enjoying the libations! Listen... if you want to have a good time while having really good food and enjoying a well made drink, look no further! ***Special shout-out to Heather and Aly for ALWAYS being on point and just plain being awesome!*** If you happen to go to Mikes and talk to these wonderful people, let them know you saw my review and that's why you're there! You'll see for yourself why they're so flipping great! read more

We went on a Saturday from 3-6pm to watch a couple of basketball games that were on. Immediately after stepping in it smells pretty horrible (all the bad smells you can imagine a bar having) - it was so bad we actually had to move down to the other end of the bar by the door that went to the outside so we could get some air any time someone opened it. Nothing seemed to be cleaned or wiped down. We some multiple people leave who had ordered food and the bar was dirty from that, but was never wiped down after that. New patrons were wiping it down with napkins. Took quite a while for someone to acknowledge us and take a drink order... almost 10 mins - there were maybe 8 people at the bar at this time. Ordered a bucket of beer and it barely came with any ice - had to ask for more ice and it seemed like an inconvenience. As for the outside, the "view" the mention is hindered for what appears to be construction going on. The pools are torn up and you actually cannot step outside of the bar area to go enjoy the view. Not sure if this is temporary construction, but was told it's been like that for quite a while. read more

Nice affordable spot to grab a beer and play pool. Bartenders are nice! If I lived in the area, I would definitely come here!

Covid has done a lot. Covid has ruined a lot. What a year.... One thing that survived through in it's purest form is Mikes!!!! It feels like all the time has passed but yet somehow none at all. I guess that's how it goes when you're a classic. Food is delicious, beers are ice cold, and everyone knows your name. Welcome back!!! read more

Mike's At Venetia - Beers and such on the deck - American Near Me - Miami, Florida

If u are looking for a sport bar with good vibes, great craft beers and ok food well, welcome to Mike's at Venetia. Located on the 9th floor, this place has outdoor seating ( the building pool constructions are on u fortunately ) but u can see the beautiful view of downtown and Brickell as week.. inside is big, 2 pool tables if u want to bet your friends... bartenders, all women are amazing. Love them, always smiling and ready to serve or help you... great music and big tv screens. I had different food items like the burger, some app like chicken tender, nachos and chicken wings.. definitely perfect with a very cold beer during a NBA Or NFL game. Also, they have a football special starting from $16 for a bucket of 5 beers .. what else... u just should come and try it. Cheers read more

Food was great! I ate every bite of my fish & chips, and my daughter ate most of hers too, which is largely out of character. If you're in a hurry it might not be for you, as it took a good while before our appetizers came out (apparently due to a large table next to us having just placed their orders). Notably they were the only restaurant I can recall in this area that did not automatically tack on a 15-20% "service fee," which was a lovely surprise & earned them an extra star! read more

The food was excellent and the service, though efficient and pleasant, was very slow. Food took a long time to arrive. The wait staff was great at clean up and refills and were very attentive.

Came in on a Friday afternoon - to an empty restaurant with only a few people at the bar. No hostess/host in sight. Bartender did not even acknowledge me after a few minutes continued to carry on conversation with patrons who looked like her. Will not come here again or patronize seemingly discriminatory places like this. read more

as soon you walk in it smells like horse piss ,food is not all that great ,drinks are not even worth it

Food, service, atmosphere...horrible! We walked in, no one said anything to us. The place smelled, the bartender said they stop serving food at midnight...waste of time read more

This place needs a DEEP CLEAN Not only is it in desperate need of a remodel, it smells HORRIBLE Bar staff is fun and the drinks are very reasonable Really love this place but with new management and some serious cleaning/remodeling...it could be awesome Food looked decent but didn't eat Need Bud on tap! read more

This bar is in a rundown old hotel. The elevators were gross and you have to walk through these weird service type hallways to get to it. We finally got there and it was dirty and there wasn't a single patron in the middle of the dinner hour. It felt super sketchy so we immediately left, didn't even stay at eat. read more

Mike's At Venetia - St. Paddy's day sign - American Near Me - Miami, Florida

Hidden away in the elevated pool deck of one of Miami's older highrise condos is a funky little dive bar. This is a great little spot to either hide from your wife :) or have a nightcap with a new friend. Oh, and you can even buy Girl Scout cookies with your drink! I stopped by last weekend after dinner and a stroll with a friend since our night was still young at midnight. Though there are pool tables, we sat at the bar where I indulged in a (couple) of smooth yet potent Rum old fashioneds. The alcohol content was on point, and it was well mixed with bitters and an orange slice. The music was a nice alt-rock mix, perfect to chill out to. Toward the end of the evening, I ordered us a helping of mozzarella sticks. We did have to wait a little because of a minor miscommunication, and once we got them the taste was a little salty. Not bad for late night grub, but definitely stick to the drinks next time. read more

We came here last year with another couple on our way to Cuba, we were very impressed with the service and the elevated bar food. It's on the 9th floor and the jukebox will probably be loud but the food is awesome and the staff is solid. I remember the coconut shrimp being perfection, if you have ever eaten fresh shrimp cooked perfectly you know how disappointing over cooked shrimp is and they have fabulous skills getting it right..... I could just order the shrimp but the Broiled seafood platter was the choice tonight. For a Tuesday evening (after 9:00) they have quite a few patrons, service excellent again. I truly believe this is a hidden gem. If you are staying at the double tree or Marriott it's walking distance just take the elevator to 9 and follow the signs. read more

Whoooa! I was not expecting a random bar in a condo building in Omni to be THIS divey. Pretty decent selection of Florida craft beer on tap. Lots of tv's for sports watching. Menu is typical bar food. View from the patio is awesome. I'm terrified of elevators & the one you have to take to get to Mike's feels like it could break down any second. Reward yourself after bravely taking said elevator to Mike's with an ice cold adult beverage. read more

The place is just a disaster. It's dark, dirty and the bar, tables and chairs all need to be replaced. This used to be a great hole-in-the-wall bar. Now, it just seems like everyone there has given up on the place. It's really a shame. I hope they fix the place up. read more
