Watermelon Sangria Pitcher $24
Christopher B.

Tried stopping by the Wharf on a nice Sunday afternoon and had a nice time. The bartender was nice and made such a delicious Watermelon Sangria (great addition to the menu team!) I saw it wasn't too busy and liked that, although the food selections are pretty expensive, there were still selections. The area outside is a bit sketch as there are many homeless down the street so taking an Uber or Lyft is recommended. Unfortunately the establishment can't really do anything about that so I would never fault them. Keep the drink specials coming!

Still one of my favorite spots to visit here by the Miami River! FREE ADMISSION, creative decorations, amazing drinks and staff. Great for a date night or with a group of friends. Parking is PAYBYPHONE but it's only $2.50 per hour so not bad compared to other spots around town. Half indoors, and outdoors. Bunch of food trucks and bartenders as well. Always recommend the Wharf Miami to anyone! ^.^

I definitely love coming to "The Wharf" it's such a fun and open place environment. The vibe is great. Music atmosphere varies according to times of day. I've been here during daytime and night time. There's always a certain theme party or special event happening here. Last night I went to celebrate St. Patrick's Day with my coworkers. We loved the free shot glass necklace and the beads when we came in. I have to give a 10/10 service to our amazing bartender, Sabrina. She was so nice and Friendly. Honestly, she was the only bartender that had smile on her face. Service was fast and on point, having into account that the place was packed.

I love The Wharf Miami. I've been frequenting here for many years now for happy hours, sunday sports watching (Go Dolphins) and nighttime party time. Although those nights have become fewer now, I'll pass the baton to the younger generation now. But by far my favorite is all the events the Wharf always create. I always try to come to their anual Anniversary event with complimentary Mojitos. So many flavors of mojitos too. I love it. Great way to spend the afternoon and celebrate. Last year they passed out cute wharf bucket hats. I still have mine. Not only is this place fun, they really always try to do something interesting here. And plus food trucks. Yum. This is quickly becoming a Miami Staple so if you're from out of town you definitely should check it out.The view alone is amazing. And If you're a local like myself then look out for all the awesome events. They are pet friendly too!

Such a bummer this place closed! It was always a great spot to hang out and to bring out-of-town guests. Pitchers of mojitos were a favorite, and there were usually drink specials too. Plenty of food trucks available for a wide variety of cuisine--my favorite had been the tacos. One of the best things they did was throwing themed events, where they would have special drink menus and tons of impressive decorations! Here's hoping their new spot is just as nice.

I came here during a week of work events for a networking event. I loved the space and found the service pretty good. It is an absolutely beautiful spot for events. Next time I get a say on where a work event happens I am suggesting this place.

Love it. Had a great time on Saturday late morning/early afternoon relaxing by the water with a drink and some good food. There are a few food trucks available to choose from and plenty of seating. Went to the Chicken Spot and brought the food back to the bar for a good drink. Couldn't tell how strong it was but it was tasty, and I wasn't trying to go hard anyway. When in Miami, I'd definitely love to return. The open air environment is nice and there's still plenty of shade if you sit out on the patio to watch the boats go by and see the bridge go up . Great views all around and great music playing by the DJ... can't ask for a better day out!

Please, someone tell me why I've never been here before? Suchhhh a cool spot! The vibe is so chill. Dress code was a mix of everything. There were girls dressed up like they were going to a club, and then girls dressed in ripped baggy jeans and cotton crop tops. Men dressed casual asf, and men dressed in suits! I liked it, lol. Nice, large bar in the "main" area. Small bar located in the yard area. Food trucks to get your munch on when that hunger starts striking. Beautiful views of the water & yachts passing by and pulling up. Fun music playing in the main area and the dance floor got lively as the night progressed. Bathrooms were pretty clean, too- thank God. Convenient large parking lot right next door with reasonable rates. No desperate search for parking. Overall, this is a great spot and will def return for some fun vibes, drinks, and food! :)

You know what, the wharf is actually really Fun. They have games you can play, places set up for photoshoots, dog friendly, and good drinks. Young crowd, older crowd, singled, couples. People pull up in their boats, with their families, with their model dogs. I've only been a couple times, but every time I've gone it's been a wild fun time. PAY FOR PARKING OR UBER! It gets really busy, Plan accordingly:)

Strawberry lemonade vodka and a truly can

I came to the Wharf during their "Hogwharf" event with a couple friends which was fun! I got a free scarf for signing up on their eventbrite website. I very much enjoyed my strawberry lemonade that was $12 and my boyfriend enjoyed his truly can that cost $8. I'm sure I'll be back for future events.

Theme cocktails for the win!

The ambiance is always great, whether your celebrating a birthday or just a simple girls night it's perfect! The music food & decor is always spot on. Especially when they host events. Definitely don't want to miss the experience here.

Happy 4th of July!
Mel E.

Great time! Lots of fun! Went for a running/charity event and I was blown away by the level of organization and professionalism from start to finish. I didn't eat, but everyone who was eating seemed please with their choices from the food trucks. The DJ was good and the scene was beautiful. There's a homelessness going on, which is sad, but they don't bother anyone. They're nice and respectful. Enjoy!

We were looking for a nice place to spend a bit of our afternoon. We are Warf lovers but this time I'm sad to say my review is 3 stars just because I still like them, otherwise I'll give them 1 star. With a very very bad review. I didn't pass the entrance, it was packed!!!! 90% of the people there didn't have masks on them, it looked like a pre-covid day . We didn't risk to enter as it it pretty clear that we will get infected . Im not going again until this situation is over.

What's the dress code like? Im going for a brunch and it says no tank tops but I see ppl on their Instagram wearing tank tops so I'm slightly confused.

You will see everything. I would recommend leaving the tank tops to the girls in all situations and settings.

Is it 18 and older?

No, after 7pm kids are asked to leave.

Is there a cover fee on Friday nights?

No cover fees

After 7pm do under 21 have to leave or can they stay til 12?

They typically have to leave, but they don't track it unless it is a child.

Can i eat here during the day at the age of 20?

Yes, you can go in until 7 pm

Whats the vibe like on a Thursday? good for a small birthday gathering?

I went with my family on Thursday and was ok so if you want to celebrate a birthday i would say before 7:00pm is good time... so you can enjoy food trucks and raspberry mojitos. Hope this helps

Does the wharf have Saturday brunch?

The Wharf doesn't have regular brunch, since it isn't a restaurant. They will serve you liquor and they have food truck like restaurants there. Be on the lookout for Wharf events that happen from time to time that will be brunch related.

Is this place ok for babies and kids?

Yes it nice to enjoy earlier on in the day with the children. Also had some good bites and games. However, during the late evening hours the music does get louder and the crowd changes so that must also be considered. Hope this helps!

Is 18 and up?

It's 21+

Is English spoken?

You can find people from all ethnicities at the Whatf including foreign tourist, but as in most places in Miami English is everywhere.

Do you have to pay cover?

Yes

Is this 18+?

After sunset it's 21+

How is the ambience on a Friday night? How much are bottles?

Very lively and more like a party scene. Bottles vary.

Is there a fee to get in during the day to eat and drink?

No admission it's free unless they are hosting some type of special event

Do they ask for ID?

Yes!

Can I used my credit card or is it just cash? Also what the price of vip for July 20,2019? Thanks

Are food trucks available everyday at The Wharf?

Yes the days that they open the venders are also open

Do they still do free pizza with a drink purchase on thursdays?

No, now they give a taco with the purchase of a drink on Thursdays

When's the happy hour?

4-7

When is HH?

It's during the weekdays from 4 to 7 pm

I think they fit Miami well, and are slight twists in classic drink options. Our bartender was awesome. She was super knowledgeable and helpful in making recommendations as we decided what to order, and you can tell she really put effort into making sure the drinks were good. The drinks were really good! My only complaint is the price. Of course handcrafted cocktails are expensive, especially in Miami, but wow. The drinks were really small, and had so much ice that they ended up being not very many sips at all. They were definitely good, but the very small size for almost $20 a drink was kind of outrageous.

No pressure !! :(…read more With such an amazing and innovative decor, dazzling bar and great vibes, my sibling, husband and I knew this was the place to be to enjoy ourselves with some drinks! The bar was lit, poppin' and vibrant. We were waiting by the end of the counter where they checked out other patrons near the sitting area. We were overlooked many times... I locked eyes with one of the bartender and she completely looked away from me.. several times :( took about 15 minutes and we reached our arms out and flagged bartender Reilly. Her greeting and attention was genuine so I was happy to get her. Unfortunately, she got busy and we got the initial lady that ignored us. She was not kind, not attentive and didn't really want to help us - she was very fake. With that being said, we had to remind her of our drinks after 20 minutes of placing the order, in which she responded with an attitude "it's being made. We're busy" -_- -_- :( the attitude was not needed. We watched others that came in before us being served. :( I was completely annoyed and upset. She didn't even bring the drinks to us like the other bartenders were doing, she made us get it. Poor service from this one bartender while the others were happy and servicing their patrons. After our first drinks, I noticed she spoke to her colleague and he came over and asked if we wanted to close out.. . Wtf kicking us out? We said no and he opened a tab. When she noticed we were ordering more, she was a bit more attentive. So wrong. Luckily, the drinks were delicious. Perfect. We did end up coming back to the Lasseter and got a gentleman bartender that was so kind and attentive and made our drinks even better! The attention to detail and love he made in my drinks, so that is why I decided to make make this a 3 stars rather than two. He saved this place. The toilet sitting area is very warm, not very air conditioned properly so expect to be a little warm especially after a couple of sips. It's also the walkway to an actual big restrooms for the whole building. The drinks are VERY pricy but the setting is perfect and makes up for it. Unfortunately, the service was not up to par. Disney priced drinks without the Disney customer service. Do I want to come back? Yes. Am I going to be picky with the vibes coming from the bartender and chose who to go to? Also yes. Hopefully, I can increase the rating.

If you come with a group of friends, you got a selection of game boards to pick from, some which are missing pieces :P but nonetheless a nice selection of amenities to keep you entertained.

The biggest thing for me was the overall energy and engagement from the staff. I'm naturally a pretty social and engaged person, especially when I'm sitting at a bar, and I made an effort to interact with the bartenders. I just didn't really feel that same engagement coming back. Nobody was necessarily rude or disrespectful--it just felt disconnected, and the energy was a little strange to me. I also didn't realize until I tried to pay that the bar doesn't accept cash. Maybe that was posted somewhere and I missed it, and once they told me, it wasn't a big deal. But little things like that, combined with the overall interaction, affected the experience. Another thing I didn't realize until receiving my check was that gratuity was already included. I wasn't verbally told about it, and I personally didn't see it disclosed anywhere beforehand. From my understanding, an automatic gratuity or service charge is required to be disclosed to the guest before the purchase, not something they should only discover when they receive the check. Maybe there was a notice somewhere that I missed, so I'm not saying there wasn't one, but I definitely wasn't aware of it. I think that's an important thing for guests to know upfront, especially because someone could easily add another tip without realizing gratuity was already included. Ironically, the one person I genuinely connected with and had a good conversation with was another guest at the bar, not a member of the staff. That interaction actually helped make my time there more enjoyable. For me, hospitality is about more than serving a drink. Especially when someone is clearly open, friendly, and trying to engage, that's an easy opportunity to create a connection and turn a first-time guest into someone who wants to come back. I felt like I gave plenty of opportunities for that interaction, but it just never really happened. I still had a good time because I can have a good time pretty much anywhere, and nothing happened that would make me say Lost Boys is a bad bar. It just didn't feel like the staff cared much about enhancing the experience beyond serving the drinks. So four stars because I respect what the place is and can see why it works as a neighborhood bar. It just didn't give me a reason to come back, and personally, I don't think I would.

(Also, they do $3 shots) But somewhere along the way, it stopped being just our karaoke spot. It's the place you can walk into on a completely random night, grab a burger and a pile of those heavenly, crispy, perfect, always-fresh fries, catch the oyster special, have a drink at the bar and somehow end up staying much longer than you planned.

Like any Miami-ite, I'm always looking to soak up all the cultural accoutrements the Magic City has…read moreto offer: food trucks, eating halls, sports events, car meet-ups, that one art museum in downtown I forget its name. Anywayssss, when I caught the winds that there was a new sound bar in downtown, I NEEDED to be there. The concept of the sound bar is some type of Asian thing, I don't really know. But where in Asia there might be a few monks sitting around in silence listening to gongs or whatever, Miami goes BIG! Finding parking in downtown Miami on a Saturday is virtually impossible unless you bribe a valet servant with cash. So that's what I did. My ladyfriend and I arrived early to the sound bar, and there was already a hearty swarm of brodents and thots lined up to get in. Some crack head outside was shouting about IPA's. I told the door servant that I knew the DJ or something like that, and he let us right in. Once inside, the bar has that edgy big city, small hallway type of vibe. You could barely stand around in there, let alone get to the bar to order a drink. The mix of flapping gums and mixologists concocting cocktails made for a cacophonous distraction from the actual "music" we were there to "listen" to. My ladyfriend and I ducked out across the street to Black Market Miami Bar where the game was on and you could actually order a drink that didn't cost $50+. After a few libations, we headed back to Miami Sound Machine Bar (they need to put 'Miami' in every bar's name down here in case you forget where you are). There was a weird looking guy playing depressing vinyls with singing in different languages. I was more in the mood for something upbeat and groovy like salsa or merengue that I could dance to with my girls. Although I did hear the 12" Andrew Weatherall remix of Happy Mondays "Hallelujah" at some point, a staple at the Haçienda nightclub in Manchester - an institution that shook the music world and changed club culture forever. The head servant at the bar looked like Nirvana (yes, one man looking like a whole band). He was jaded and rude. I don't blame him! As the night wore on, the crowd got larger and more deplorable, and the room got smaller and smaller. I got stuck in an awkward conversation waiting to use the bathroom. I don't think sound bars are for me. Pros: The bar across the street had really fair drink prices, and the servants are polite and efficient. Cons: the ratchet yuppies that inhabit Miami's nightlife, always on the prowl to ruin a subculture with their tackiness.

We both got a creative drink from there menu. The DJ arrived the same time as us so he was just getting set. We were there long enough to hear him blend in about 5+ songs. I was digging how he was shaping the set from some chill song to some that had some pep. It was just long enough to know that next time we are done this way I think we will check out the Sound bar again.

Once we got up, the music is loud, the lights are going, it's dark, and it's packed. All great signs of a solid and popular spot. I don't drink alcohol anymore, but my friends were able to get attention pretty quickly from the bartenders. There was a section there where I felt like I was being packed like sardines, but once we moved we were in comfortable spot. My feet started killing me since I wore heels the whole night, so to my delight, I found out there was an area to sit, and that pretty much saved my feet from falling off. The rooftop is such a vibe. We were able to get a section with a table by the balcony railing and see the downtown area in all it's glory with the lights and the Brickell sign in the background. It was thee perfect spot for photos, and we took advantage of it and had our mini photoshoot there on the spot. I was rather surprised that this place started to shut down by 2 am, I had the impression that FL goes until 5 in the morning, but it was no big deal since we were starting to wind our evening down anyways. I am thankful we got to experience going here, it truly made our night special for our bride to be.
