    Places like this are sadly slowly dying. This is your dictionary HOLE IN THE WALL bar and everything you expect from it!! On every moment of the week you will find fun degenerates having fun here, and I sometimes am one of them! We love this place!

    Fun little spot! Great bartender! Great atmosphere and right near the 73rd St trolley drop off.

    Since I leave near I would always see this place busy during the night times. So while waiting for our dinner reservation we figured to stop by and get some drinks. It is everything you can expect from a local dive bar, great prices, helpful bartender, pool table and a distinct odor that smells like a mixture of sweat, cigarettes and liquor. My favorite part was asking the bartender for a menu and she responded by simply saying "it's an open bar". That truly reminded me of the college bar I used to go to in Tallahassee, where most of the customers are regulars and you don't need a menu telling you what to drink. If you're looking to avoid the craziness and the inflated drink prices of South Beach then this place is a good alternative. You get to enjoy some affordable drinks at a chill spot near the beach, I definitely recommend trying it out!

    This dive bar is full of locals who seem like they are regulars. Definitely an interesting crowd. The drinks were reasonably priced (only $8 per drink). I had a Moscow Mule and my boyfriend had a Tito's soda lime. The back area is trendy but was empty. There is a billiards table, several tvs, a large screen and Jenga. I'm sure it is a good spot to watch a sports game.

    I love this kind of places!! So local! Beautiful decorated, very friendly bartenders in special (Daria), their prices are definitely for locals, $4 a beer, cannot beat it and they are open till 5am!! Also they are doing different kind of entertainments like karaoke on Fridays, poker on Thursdays... I will definitely come back there!!!

    On a good day it's a chill place to grab some cheap drinks (no food but there is plenty to eat close by) and hang with a good mix of locals and tourists. On a bad day, it reeks of a smell you just can't quite place and is full of cigarette smoke and loud, sloppy drunk folks. Thus is the life of a neighborhood dive bar, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

    I checked out this place over the weekend, with a good friend of mine. It's fairly small, kinda divey but not too much, love the decor. Saturday night was pretty busy lots of people outside, They have a small area with a karaoke stage, A live band was playing. Bartender was very pleasant, service was good! Great place to hang out!

    Local dive bar and hangout spot straying far away from the usual South Beach bullshit a few miles south. Very eclectic crowd ranging from the average biker boomers, wandering tourists, loyal locals & pretty women who are yet to straighten things out with their fathers. The head bartender Selene is a badass and so is Luka, the always friendly, humble and on-the-move Serbo-Croat owner. No food is served but there's plenty right around the corner you can bring back into the place and wash it down with $3 Rolling Rock or PBR tall boys. Can't go wrong, not in Miami Beach!

    Yup a great dive bar... a refreshing honest bar... not a club... not a lounge... a bar with reasonably priced drinks. The ambiance... meh what are you talking about... it's appropriately dark with a cluttered collection of mismatched bar trinkets, Ms. PacMan, pool table and Santana playing overhead - a bit too loud. In short it's perfect.

    I like this dive bar due to convenience, affordable prices, and friendly service. Pool game, karaoke, jenga, there's even a chess board that you can play.

    Headbangers Ball!…read more Kill your Idol was one of my brief stops during the Saturday pub crawl. The bar is located towards the back, and the stage is up front. After getting their white tea aka whiskey shot, my bro and I had to make our way through essentially the mosh pit of a KISS cover band, white face paint and all. The drink is always good, but the music is not my kind of vibe.

    Haha, this was quite a surprisingly fun and cool place. We came on a pretty quiet evening but they…read moretold us a DJ would be playing at 10pm. The bartender told us from 8-10p, drinks are half off, whoa! The hard rock was playing and the decor above the bar will make you laugh (and maybe reminisce). They had an art installation in the bar (so cool that they do this!) when we were there. We weren't quite sure what kind of music the DJ would play, first it was very hard rock and the crowds started coming so more popular songs were played. People were dancing, drinking and having a good time. A full range of music from NIN, Nirvana, Mariah Carey, Shakira, etc was heard all evening! You could put requests in and it was honestly a really fun night! They keep the bar clean, always removing empty glasses, napkins and constantly moving to clear the bar and small tables. They have a water station at the end of the bar and really make sure it's always full. I'm very impressed with this place (it's connected to Lost Weekend but we never made it over since we were enjoying Kill Your Idol too much). We had a great time, thank you!
