MAKE SURE TO ASK TO SEE YOUR BILL Very poor service experience. We specifically asked our server whether the service charge was included. She refused to show us the bill and told us, "No, it is not." However, my husband became suspicious because the bill seemed unusually high, so he only left a $4 tip. After we repeatedly asked for the bill, she finally brought it over while apologizing and, unsurprisingly, we discovered that gratuity had already been added, causing us to pay extra for tips. We didn't want to be petty and just left but she did not even serve us water. The person who brought out our food was the one who asked whether we wanted water and brought it to us. As someone who has worked in hospitality for years, this is completely unacceptable. read more

The Bar - Server charged us additional tips by deceiving us - American Near Me - Coral Gables, Florida

Holy cow. Walked into this place it smelled so bad. Like dirty stagnant bar wells and old urinal cakes. The bathroom was by far the worst, you had to hold your breath it smelled like stale beer urine. The bar itself was sticky, nobody cleans anything and just the smell alone was enough to just turn around and leave. You can't even breathe it's so bad. Has potential but sorry it stinks so bad. Try some bleach. read more

The bar was fun ! It was ladies night the Thursday I went and the drinks were super cheap. The music was a vibe and the service was great. I will come back for a girls night or to catch some drinks at the gables. read more

Been going to The Bar for years. Usually Carlos and Brie take care of me. For the last 2 weeks they have been out of Miller Highlite "The Champagne of Beers". Been drinking coors light or michalobe ultra light. The cooler on the back corner is the coldest cooler in the bar. I set up shop there. Today walked in and dealt with a girl I have seen a lot but do not know. asked for the coldest beer she had and she handed me a coor light . Asked her for the coldest in the cooler and she looked me in the eye and said if you don't like it go to another bar. Ok I did. Thought that the treatment From her was worse until this experience with the Man bun guy insisted I give him a credit card for a happy hour beer. I said Carlos and Brie don't ask me for a card plus I pay cash. He kept pointing to a small sign saying"it's the policy dude". I said no"dude I have seen you in here for the past years. It's broad daylight and no one is here. Even if I make a run for it you will see me a mile away". Not sure how you can have bartenders as cool and professional as Carlos and Brie and then polar opposite as "go to another bar" girl and man bun guy. Regardless. When I walk in there if Carlos or Brie ain't there I am taking my business elsewhere. Here is where I spent my C note. read more

The Bar - Kick me outta the bar and this is where I wind up at Doc B's - American Near Me - Coral Gables, Florida

So first off, the service here is great! It's your typical dive bar that actually has the best bartenders in the sense of attention and needs. However, there were several men harassing me and no one on staff prevented it from happening they only were saying hey sorry about that after or "I just saw men talking to her". I really had a genuine time here and shout out to the best service but it's really unfortunate because I felt unsafe after. I think that we shouldn't demonstrate businesses as a bad example when they clearly have so many good examples under the belt but I cannot fathom me going here without a group or a man again. read more

Good music! Good vibes! Looking for a fun place to get a drink with friends this is the spot. I came on a Friday around 8 PM and it was pretty chill. The music was amazing. The DJ was playing throwback hits. Then I came on a Saturday around midnight with a friend and it was a party. It was jam packed and so much dancing. I loved my time here. When it is packed it's hard to get a drink but this is normal for a packed bar so no biggie. read more

The diviest of dive bars - and a bit out of place on Giralda...but still a fun, chill spot to grab a night club. I've gone to The Bar a few times and it's always a reliable spot for decent well cocktails and beers. I've only been on weekdays, and it's usually pretty chill, with a lowkey crowd. read more

Great place for drinks and dancing! I've been to The Bar a few times throughout my life and all my experiences have been great! Love the music, DJ's, and the ambiance. Even when it's slow, I think the atmosphere is still fun. I'm thankful The Bar exists for people to go dance, let out their dance moves, enjoy each other's company, get fairly priced drinks, and let loose. read more

Their bar food is good Had their Buffalo wings and chicken fingers with fries. It was all very good and tasty. Their service is always on point. We've been going to this bar for years now and it's never disappointed. I love the ambiance of this bar. The have music for everyone. You have three different areas to hang out in and around the bar. The decor is awesome- retro old school sort of way. Dimmed red lights read more

Smells gone !!! Best dive bar. Friday and Saturday nights are the days to go. Recommend

Oh, The Bar. I have been coming here for years and I warn all who wander in to exercise caution. Will you have a fabulous time and love everything the DJ plays? Absolutely. Will you dance like no one is watching, despite the dance floor being packed? Yes, yes you will. But, because the pours are STRONG and the music is great...the end of the night will likely be a total mystery when you eventually wake up at 12 pm the next day. How many gin and tonics were consumed? Whose bed is this? What happened to my shoes? All these questions are ones I've asked myself after a night out at The Bar. Since I moved back to Coral Gables in 2021, this bar has been responsible for a good 80%-85% of all the hangovers I've experienced since then. So enjoy your time here...but enjoy responsibly. read more

Cool place but way too loud inside. Also the crowd has changed a lot over the last few years also. They have enough room outside in the back to put an outdoor ping pong table. It would be fun to go there to play some ping pong and have some drinks... read more

I recently came here to watch an Arsenal soccer game as this is a bar that supports the team here in Miami. What a fun time! It honestly felt like I was back in college. Of course, not the college bar prices. I can't speak to what it's normally like as I came Saturday mid day to watch a game and then again yesterday around the same time, but the vibe was really fun! Service was a bit slow to get a drink, but it was pretty packed. I tried the " Award Winning Wings" as well. $16 for 10 and we did 5 Asian style and 5 lemon pepper. Pretty good! read more

This DJ on Saturday night April 12th, por favor, get rid of him. I am in my uber on my way home because I was forced to leave because the music was so bad. You can't have a Purdy sign on the DJ booth and have this atrocity. New DJ or touch tunes only. Please. I love this place but not today. P.s. Great mozzarella sticks read more

I just came in there was no bouncer at the door... so he chased us down and asked for our ID. Went to the bar and the blonde bartender id'd me again. I couldn't wear my hoodie?? Idk why it was empty They don't have many selections of drinks read more

Nani is the best bartender ever! love going here and she makes my experience there that much

Awesome vibe went to see arsenal game and was impressed. Service was good and price was reasonable.

Five stars for a place that always brings the dancing you didn't know you needed to a late night you didn't know you were having in the Gables. There's no frills here, but what more do you need than drinks and good music with friends. There is plenty of seating inside and outside, with bars in both spaces too. I find this spot to be super affordable and somewhere you won't ever regret popping into for a drink or two. The Bar is a Coral Gables staple, and we love that for us. read more

If you're like me and love dive bars, I've got a place for you. I was in town for a wedding and visited here a couple nights with some locals. I am so glad we went, this place is a riot! Music is amazing and there's plenty of room for dancing. The staff is also great, I can say enough about how well they handled the dense crowd. Bathrooms were clean and well attended to. No issues at all. We did not get a chance to eat here. read more

The Bar is a classic spot to hit up for good dancing, great bar bites and a vibe like no other. The service is good and Switch (the owner) strives to ensure that every guest has a great experience at all times. Yaya, was our server last night and she was great! Totally hilarious and made great recommendations and accommodations to our food order. We sat outside and enjoyed the weather, people watching and all things Miami. The band was ok and when we got tired of that, the DJ inside didn't disappoint. Always a great time! Don't drink and drive and enjoy! read more

The guys on staff are cool dudes. Friendly and comfortable to stand around. Three fun nights in a row and we will comeback again. The females are very good looking and seem to have that little chip on their shoulders in their customer service. It must be a tough life to be born in an attractive body... With that said. We enjoyed the bar, the karaoke, drinks, cool vibe, and felt safe with the bouncers. Marco you definitely are great to be around. Namaste to the bar. read more

Came to this bar on a Friday night around 8pm. It wasn't packed yet so that was nice. The staff was all dressed up for Hallo-weekend so that was cool. It all went downhill when the bartender dressed up like gladiator made us terrible shots with an attitude. Then I ordered a draft beer and it was warm. I told me friends and they had been told by another bartender that they didn't have draft because it was down. So why did this guy sell me a beer knowing the taps were down? Either way their beers were warm too. We also ordered an app and that was okay. We ended up going back to Coyo Taco's secret lounge were the music, service, food and drinks were way better. I wouldn't go back to The Bar. I don't care that it's a "staple" in Coral Gables. It was awful. read more

The Bar is a great place to grab a drink at whatever time. It's 5 o'clock somewhere right? I love this bar. It's one of my go to places in Miami. It's like my Cheers except no one really knows my name here lol. But every time I come here it's a good time. They have an inside and outside area. The inside is of course a full bar while the outside just has standard drinks. They normally have a DJ on weekends and I believe during the week they have different events. I come here anytime I go to the Gables. It's usually the last bar I go to. To end the night. This particular night I stuck to the same drink I was having at Tap 42. A Moscow mule. It was made by a guy at the bar. It was absolutely horrible. I complained something I rarely do. I said it tasted bad. The girl I complained to tasted it. She too said it was horrible. She made me a new one and I was so happy I complained! It was delicious and well made. When I ordered it again (not from her super mistake) it was bad again. So I decided to stick to a beer which they do have a great selection. This bar is meant to have a good time. Period. I'm not too happy some of the bartenders can't make drinks but I am happy with the venue and the music. It's a go to place for people not from Miami. read more

Came here on a semi busy Friday night for some drinks. We found a table in the back and the server showed up promptly to take our orders. The drinks were okay, but the nachos were a bit stale. I asked the waitress twice for water, but we never got them. To make matters worse, when she asked us to pay, she didn't tell us that the service charge was already included. I guess coming from NY, we aren't used to seeing bills including service charge for a party less than 6. So we tipped her another 20% on top of that even though we asked her specifically if the service charge was included. We only found out after asking to see the itemized bill because we thought the bill was a bit large. Just be aware... read more

The bouncers have been extremely rude. On two different occasions they've refused to explain confusing policies, belittled me for a lack of understanding, made sarcastic remarks concerning a medical condition I have, and in one instance when I became overwhelmed and told a friend that I can't stay here any longer, a bouncer replied with "good." read more

Tall girl with blood hair poor bartender skills.. definitely is a joke! Gives bad attitude even when i was talking friendly she keep giving me attitude read more

The place to be on a FRIDAY NIGHT is THE BAR! Fellas, you will catch a lot of ladies at the bar after 5pm. Ladies drink Free every Friday from 5:30pm to 7:30pm. The DJ keeps it bumping with cool tunes and a lot of old hip-hop which I love. The bartenders are nice and helpful. I've never experienced the side eye because of all the free drinks they keep making but then again I do make sure to always tip them. I make sure I have some cash cause they treat me well with them nice, strong drinks. I have to warn you yes it looks like a whole in the hall, but trust me it isn't; take a chance and go. It's located on Giralda Avenue, also known as Giralda Under the Stars where the umbrellas used to be and now they have the #sunlit. As you walk in The Bar you see their main bar in the middle surrounded by the dance floor and some tables and chairs. If you keep walking to the back you will see their outside bar playing different music from the inside. This is where you will spot the smokers - it has an even more chill vibe. I tend to hang out inside jamming to my old school hip hop music. This last time I came it was for an event (Boo's @ The Bar), which I have to give it to The Bar they were demonstrating excellent customer service - super attentive. This is definitely one of my favorite bars on Friday nights in the Gables. I usually start here and end my night at Tarpon Bend. I've had some great memories at The Bar and hope to keep making more memories. read more

Came for Happy Hour with my dad & had a great time. The Bar never changes & that's a good thing considering it's Downtown Gables go-to dive bar.

Consistent spot that never disappoints. read more

The Bar - Singer out front - American Near Me - Coral Gables, Florida

Really unhappy with my service... or should i say lack there of. Came to the area to check outthe new installation by Jessy Nite and with the rain decided to take refuge at this establishment. I got there a little after my friends.. it was slow when we got there so only the bar staff was working.. the woman at the bar gave me a water and never returned... after waiting a long time to order and realizing she wasn't coming back i went to the bar to place my order. Well they were so caught up in their coversations at the bar they didnt pay attention and one of the patron pointed out that i had been waiting.. i finally put in my order. After it came out i finished my meal.. no one ever came back for refills or to alow us to get more drinks so we decided to just ask for the check. The gentleman at the bar cleared out table and basically never brought the check back... Again we wait.... finally we approach the bar so we can just pay and leave and again we are ignored for a long time... at this point i decide im over it and not coming back .. esp when THERE ARE PLENTY OF OTHER OPTIONS IN THE AREA WITH BETTER SERVICE. At the end i did leave a tip because i just don't have it in me to not leave anything but its def way lower than i would have of.. even if the service was just ok... I DON'T RECCOMEND THIS PLACE. read more
