Probably my new favorite bar! A friend suggested visiting this bar and i loved the experience. It has nice ambiance, cocktails and great service! We sat at the bar and the bartender was helpful in making suggestions & quick at taking care of our orders. Keep in mind this place is ideal for dates or small groups. Im excited to visit again soon!

Lovr this place for drinks. Decided to come for lunch since it was chilly outside and they have sun. The menu online wad not updated. They used to ha e a veggie burger. After we sat down we noticed the veggie burger wasn't on the menu. We ordered the watermelon salad and asked for that first. After everything took for forever. We asked if thr salad was coming first. Still another 10 minutes....server finally said "ohh I guess the chef decided to send it all at once" we said we didn't want the salad since we wanted it separate. The service was strange overall. And both of my parents each got the tacos and stomachs weren't okay after. Love this place for drinks, would not eat here again...

I made it back to Esme's Rooftop bar. I was visiting more often but had been a bit disappointed the last few visits. Either way, I was due to come back as the hotel is a beautiful experience and I'm fan of the veggie bowl and beet hummus. We came by on a Saturday night and walked in and it was not too full so we were able to be sat. Our server was pretty attentive throughout the visit. We ordered the beet hummus to start and two of the Rice Bowl and Avocados. The server asked if we'd like to receive the hummus first and we said yes. We didn't receive the hummus as an appetizer. It came to the table with our entrees. Sadly the hummus portion is significant smaller than previous visits and there was a hair in it so we sent it back. The bowls were also lacking in portion and in vegetables. It was just tiny slices of red pepper. The egg was cooked well and the avocado was a good portion. The server brought back the hummus. Still lacking in portion but the taste is always so delicious with the little slices of manchego. The little yuca arepas it comes with are also so delicious and cheesy. The hummus ended up being comped due to the hair, which I appreciated. Overall, the rooftop is still a fun and nicely decorated place. The breeze feels nice and food is usually good. Consistency would definitely improve the experience.

Rooftop bar with a very cool vibe and a dj on the weekends (unsure about during the week). The food is not the best so I wouldnt go for that alone. I like it for after dinner cocktails. The cocktail menu has mostly sweet drinks but they have a full bar and allow you to order off menu, as well. The tropical ceviche was pretty fishy. The mini manchego arepas are the same "yuca arepas" that come with the beets hummus. They were okay. The sangria was watery with not much flavor.

During my stay at the Esme, I had a snack by the pool and breakfast at the roof on my last day. Obviously, it's ridiculously overpriced. 16 dollar guacamole (that didn't look fresh due to the coloring) and 22 dollar omelettes but it wasn't the worst.

Want a romantic moonlit hidden rooftop bar that serves delicious cocktails and bites(including fried pickles) on cozy sofa beds? The roof is a great spot, to start or end your night when visiting south beach off española way.

Roof top cheers!

Just remember, i review these spots as a local, not a tourist. That being said, this place is beautiful, absolutely worth the visit, the vibe, the drinks, the experience. Love the location. Española way has needed something like this. Only reason It doesn't have 5 stars is because, again, as a local, it's just too pricey. But we'll definitely be back for a drop in

Good experience, liked the vibe and atmosphere, food was ok... Mari Jose ( Majo ) was amazing not only she is a beautiful colombian queen she is a top notch server. If I'll come back is for her and the music.

Great although small pool

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.

This is the place to stumble into! Don't waste your time walking in front of everything looking in…read moreeach bar to see an empty row of barstools. This place is popping! 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 here with my friends, and the food was great and the female bartender was super nice, but…read morewhen we went to play pool, you have to buy an arcade card. the arcade card was $5 for 15 "points" We got 15 points and the pool table cost 8 points. 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.

South Pointe Tavern is a perfect spot to catch a game, enjoy drinks, and spend time with friends…read more The atmosphere is lively yet comfortable, with a beautiful interior that makes the place stand out from a typical sports bar. The cocktails are well crafted, and the service was attentive, friendly, and very helpful throughout the visit. The food menu has some really great options, while a few dishes feel more average, but overall there's enough variety to enjoy alongside drinks and sports. The location is excellent, especially being so close to the beach and South Pointe area, though parking can be challenging since many spots are often taken by beach visitors. Still, it's definitely a great place to relax for drinks, food, and live sports.

It's the perfect vibe for watching a game. Not as touristy as the main part of South Beach…read more Pretty chill crowd. Nachos: Looked like the cheese was baked on and then sour cream, guacamole and pico de gallo were added afterwards. Cheese was a little burnt, but manageable. Was decent. I mean any nachos are good nachos when watching a game, right? Wings: There were six wings in an order with 4 drumettes and 2 flats. They came "naked", which had me skeptical at first. But then I realized I could really soak these bad boys in buffalo sauce to make them spicier than the normal pre-tossed variety. Shrimp Cocktail: There were four large shrimp in an order. Much bigger sized than party platters of cocktail shrimp from the grocery store. Loved the whole glass full of cocktail sauce and horseradish. Probably my favorite thing here.
