Ted&#x27;s Hideaway

Absolutely perfect…read more I yearn for a place like this near me, I live so far away. I dream of it. There was an elderly man playing air guitar to the blaring psychedelic rock pinging around the mirror-adorned walls. It brought me great joy. I can swear I smelt Sam and Dean in the seat before me (iykyk). It's cash only, and pay as you go. They use an antique cash register and people were smoking inside. I think they should mandate slimy suits as part of a dress code. Then it would 100% feel like walking into a Time Machine. Pro tip - grab a sandwich across the street after (it's 24/7).

This year the bar celebrates 100 years of being in business - you read that right 1 0 0. If you want cheap drinks, good vibes, and are ok with inhaling cigarette smoke because you can still smoke inside here - the Deuce is for you. They've got a jukebox with an eclectic array of tunes as well as a super fun wrap around bar surrounded by neon lights. It's got major laid back energy and bartenders are quick, friendly, and attentive. If you're in the area, I'd totally suggest a drink or two here. It's also open way late (5 am I think), so whether it is your first or last stop of the night - you will always have a good time.

Thursday night is Karaoke and the people in here can sing. You can tell this is a place the locals actually go to. I didn't try the food so I can't speak on that but the drinks were strong and the prices are good, you aren't going to be super overcharged like everywhere else. It's only a block off the beach as well! Tons of pool, video games, and two bars in two connected building. One side is a dance side the other side is a gaming fun side! The bar tenders were great and really took the time to make you feel welcomed! I will visit this place every time I come back to Miami!

We went to the bar to explain that the pool table was broken and they it was fine. When we closed out they charged us $20 for one game of pool. I have been to high-end clubs where it's less than that. This nasty bar charged us $20 to play one round of pool when the pool table next to us that unfortunately was occupied only paid equivalent of $3. That is robbery and discrimination & will not be coming back here ever again. I recommend staying away from this bar. Maybe it has to do with the fact that we were only gay people in there. Avoid it all costs, I love a loud bar scene, but I couldn't even hear my friend standing next to me. The energy was not good with the exception of the female Argentianian bartender who is quite kind, but whoever we closed out with was quite rude. 0 stars if I could. We want our money back.

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.

This place is an awesome change of pace from the night clubs ... def like this spot check it outread more

If not you can park at the lot by the beach. Other than that, you should be right on your way to having a great night.

Highly suggest you check it out for bday or chill night out!

Everyone seemed to be playing. We arrived to late to join. The place was packed yet there were only two servers. Our server was running around like a chicken with her head cut off. However she managed to keep up with out party of 9. There were times we were waiting for assistance however we could see she wasn't just sitting on her ass. We order burgers, flat breads, tenders and steak tacos. Steak tacos were horrible Burgers were delicious Flatbread were good Tenders definitely looked like they were frozen tenders from the grocer. The beverages were nice not too strong but not weak. We were kinda profiled however as a black person you get use to it. My husband and brother stepped out for a smoke break..although everyone else was still seated at the table. We watched security run out after them. We laughed cause they looked stupid. When security ran out there they pretended to be looking at something when they noticed they guys were right outside the door. Irish pub we didn't expect any less. However it was kinds funny how the guy darted out after them then aimlessly looked around after he realized they were smoking a cigarette ‍

I realized that I had not actually been to this location since it was The Playwright (or whatever it was called) 4 or 5 years ago. The updated interior is nice - very "pubby" - and they offer a good variety of seating from bar seats to high-tops to couches. Two things here that were standouts: First, the burger is one of the best burgers I've had on South Beach. So much so that I'm craving it again this morning. They've done a good job with the menu in that it still has all those bar foods that you look for in a place like this, but they've put some thought into elevating a number of items (e.g. the short rib poutine!) Second, the service was great. Our server (sorry, can't remember his name - a nice guy from Kendall) was very friendly and provided excellent service. As many reviews mention, this is definitely a place to watch a game. While we weren't there for this purpose last night, the TV setup is great and I could def see myself camping out there with a few beers on a weekend afternoon. As someone who lives in the neighborhood, I'll be back again for sure.

Great nostalgia and drinks but their gratuity practice is a serious problem…read more I stopped by Wet Willie's out of nostalgia during my most recent visit. Years ago I'd come here after the beach, sit on the balcony, people-watch, and cool off with a strong, frozen drink. In that sense, the place is exactly as I remember, with cold drinks on a hot Miami day and a fun atmosphere. Unfortunately, the billing experience completely changed how I felt about our visit. When the check arrived, I noticed the suggested tip percentages were unusual (around 7%, 8%, and 9%). I was planning to leave my normal 20% tip, but then the gentleman behind the bar explained that a 15% gratuity had already been added and the listed percentages would be additional. To be clear: I always tip, and I generally tip well. But adding a gratuity without authorization or clearly disclosing it up front is a big deal. A tip is supposed to be voluntary, and quietly including one, especially in a setting where you're already prompted to add more, feels misleading and wildly inappropriate. That part honestly overshadowed the visit for me. The drinks and the memories are still there, but check your bill carefully before paying. I enjoyed the nostalgia, yet this practice alone makes me hesitant to return. This practice of discretely tipping themselves is borderline theft.

I have been going here for years. It's always been a great place to hang out and have some drinks…read more Nice cool atmosphere located in South Beach. Service was outstanding.
