Best wings in Miami?  Perhaps.  Definitely  top 3.  Forget Sports Grill, I don't know why they were crowned the best wings in Miami. Been there twice and sat at the bar and my bf loves to get people to try the Fire in the Hole sauce and watch them freak out when an explosion of capsaicin attacks their insides! sheer evil.
we order that sauce with the wings since we're hot wing freaks. don't order it on the wings to prove a point, you'll die.
IF YOU ORDER THE SAUCE ON THE WINGS, PREPARE FOR AN ATOMIC EXPERIENCE IN EVERY SENSE. Crazy cheap beer to cool you off. Â This really is a hole in the wall.
enjoy!
If ever there were an appropriate name for a place, this is it. Â You would never find it if you weren't looking. In fact, we had trouble finding it and we were looking. The fact that it manages to stay open is a true testament to the fact that it must be doing something right. Â It also has a very dive-ish feel to it which is always nice. Anyway, they do their wings grilled here. I thought they were pretty tasty. I prefer fried, but these definitely hit the spot. I tried the hot and the jerk and both were tasty. These were good, and I would definitely return, but probably would not make a special trip to do so. If we are returning home from the zoo and hungry for wings, we will be back.
Review Source:This is a classic dive bar. You really have to work to find it. We drove around the shopping center and then finally parked the car and searched on foot. It is in the corner without much signage. This is 2012! Who sells dollar drafts? The food on the limited menu was excellent. The grill is next to the front door. Â You will not be disappointed.
Review Source:This replaces  the old "Irish Tavern" that once belonged here.  The new owner did a great job of gutting the place and renovating. You can actually walk in without catching a staph infection. LOL!
The parking lot has been packed ever since they opened this month, so they must be doing something right!
am on a roll here. third bar i step into which i don't like. what the hell?! throw me a bone people. this place was dirty without discretion. then again, the name says it all. but in my defense...the cook was handling money and food at the same time. big no no.
hey...call me what you want. getting crazy dirty is OK with me so as long as I don't eat it. and mixing money and food is where i cross the line...short of scratching your rear and handling food.
money is dirty man. wanna grow a decease? throw money at it.
Definitely a REAL bar where people come to DRINK! Don't expect to find any fancy beers, just the usual.
 Not much to it, very, very small and limited food. The wings were EXTREMELY salty for my taste and the tacos were a 4 out of 10. Now the fries where AMAZING and the burger was too.
The do have A LOT Â of tv's though!
The bar is definitely not for everyone, but I guess that's what I like most. =P
This place is "what you see is what you get," and that is exactly what it wants to be. Of course, finding it can be hard. The vibe is essentially redneck dive bar, which makes it rare in South Florida. The beer selection is typical, but they have Sam Adams. So, I'm pleased. The place is friendly enough, although for the non-extroverts, it certainly has its group of regulars making the place feel cliquish. You cannot go wrong here, if you like beer and wings. Ask for their big mugs!
Review Source:A real freakin' bar in palmetto bay.
Tiny place w/ only 5 tables and bar seating. Place was packed when we visited so we ordered to go. It was fun to watch the staff cook a mess of burgers n wings. Cool bar music. About 6 flat screens.
Service was great. Despite my small stature, bar tender saw me right away and took our order.
Outside seating available but only good if ur drunk I think or hanging w/ a large group cuz there are no tvs out there and no music.
Food: we had garlic and not too flavorful w/ tons of garlic; don't ask how this is possible. Teriyaki were also bland. Mild were my fav and most flavorful.
The ambiance was so cool so that's why I wanna go back and try the wings again. Burgers looked good too but wings looked btr. Wings r a little smaller than my fav at sports grill.
II can see why they get such solid reviews on Yelp. Â Stopped by for take out saturday evening, and was rewarded with a bacon cheese burger that was perfect in its simplicity. Â Of particular note was the quality of the ripe tomato slice, something that in my opinion gets overlooked at most places offering sandwiches. Â The meat was fresh, tasty and cooked just the way I like it. Â My only disappointment was not finding onion rings on their menu. Kudos to The Hole !! I'll definitely be back to try the wings.
Review Source:Rarely does a name so perfectly fit a place as here.
A friend invited me to meet-up for drinks one night. After pulling into the strip mall, I didn't see the bar anywhere. After having my friend as a tour guide, I now understand the neighborhood gem quality of this place. Going to the back corner of the mall, and walking down towards the end of the hallway, a scattering of people, bar stools, and cigarette smoke let you know something is happening.
I hung out on a Tuesday night, which seems exactly what this place is designed for. The crowd seemed to be a lot of UM and FIU students, but I could be wrong. Basically, 20-somethings looking to get their drink on, with a scattering of older types like myself.
Outside, there's random seats to grab, and inside you can pull into a table. Wood covered walls and TVs have a standard sports bar theme. Space is at a premium, but remember, it's a hole in the wall. There's the usual assortment of bar food, and generally the staff is hustling back and forth to keep the alcohol and fried food coming.
If you're looking for elegance then I'm not sure why you've read this far. If you're looking for a neighborhood hangout to get a taste of older school Miami, then you've hit the mark.
I've been hearing a lot about this place lately but never get there because its a bit far. I went last night for the first time and although the kitchen was closed, the service was friendly, the beer was cold, and the place had a great vibe. I will definitely make an effort to get back here and try the burgers.
Review Source:Hard to find, tucked back in the armpit of the strip mall, which is probably part of why it's so good.
Not much to it, plenty of flat screens and some wooden picnic tables and barstools. Â I love ordering at the bar, no waitresses here. Â There are a few tables outside if you want to smoke. Â
Menu is delightfully limited, just sandwiches and wings. Â The wings are not cheap, but they are darned good. Â The hot ones are not standard Frank's Redhot but some proprietary concoction I think. Â Usually this is not a good thing, but here they do a good job. Â I ordered them with added garlic and the chunks were huge and tasty.
I was surprised to see so many kids there but it was early, looks like they're welcome but I am sure they thin out after 8pm. Â
This is the kind of place that makes me wonder why there aren't more just like it.
Some of the best Wings in South Miami
Hole in the Wall Pub is essentially a hallway with some dining tables and a bar. The place is cramp but they have some seating on the outside. If you've never been here before, make sure you go up to the bartender to get a menu. We sat outside for 15 minutes before we realized they don't do waiters here. You place your order and you come and get your own food. The staff is real cool, but it's heavily Hurricane territory (so if you're a Nole or a Gator, keep a low profile)....
We got an order of 30 grilled medium wings and a basket of fries. I came to check this place out because of the Yelp reviews and I wasn't disappointed. The wings were chargrilled (some had some burnt edges, not too many) and tasted fantastic. It wasn't saucy, which I liked and didn't overpower you with the char. The fries were great too. Fresh cut fries that would have been good without ketchup (but i always make ketchup my bitch when eating fries).
The prices are a little higher than most places, but they are a little better than most places as well. The other items on the menu looked good, especially the burgers, but I'm a chicken wing kind of guy so I had to get 'em.
The best comparison for these wings are to those from Sports Grill (various locations throughout Miami). I would have to say that I liked Sports Grill a little more because they're identical in size, quality, and taste, but Sports Grill sells 'em cheaper and it's closer to my place. BUT if you're in the area or live around here, there is no reason NOT to give this place a try. Great food.
P.S. Parking Sucks. That is all.
My little brother is a regular of HITWP and drug me in here one Friday night not long ago. Although it reminds me of a smaller version of the 'Keg South', it was a pretty cool spot to chill and sip on a beer.
The pub is located in the SE corner of King's Bay Plaza a few doors down from Pinch-A-Penny Pool Supply.
The crowd inside (and outside in the "outside seating area") were between the ages of 21-24, give or take a fake ID or two, and was pretty friendly and light. Strangely, I noticed that every dude (patron) in the place wore some sort of visor. Am I missing out on some sort of Cutler Bay/Pinecrest fashion statement??? As we sat at the end of the establishment towards the old school 'Galactica' arcade game, my brother and I came up with a drinking game....Every time someone walked into the place wearing a visor on their head, we chugged our beer. This was what you would call a BAD IDEA because we chugged three beers each within five minutes! This would have been waaaay better with shots but the HITWP is beer/wine only so alas, we got filled up pretty fast and made a few trips to the relatively clean restroom.
Note to self: NO MORE SPONTANEOUS DRINKING GAMES!
We were going to order some food but honestly, we got so full from the beer that we consumed that we didn't get around to it. My brother assures me that the food is "pretty decent"....but this is also coming from the same kid who is addicted to his own concoction of Capt'n Crunch, mashed potatoes and Yoo-Hoo. (Hurl!)
So anyways, the beer was really cold and familiar tasting.
Oh, I almost forgot....If you are a Miami Hurricanes Football fan, the HITWP is co-owned by Craig Erickson who QB'd the 1989 team to a National Championship. My brother says he will pop in from time to time and is a pretty nice guy who will talk about his days at the U when all of the country feared and hated the Canes.
Give it a try if you are into the Dive Bar scene...I will go back the next time I'm in the area. GO CANES!
Wow! A+ wings. There are only a few places in Miami that rank so highly on my best wings scale. This is definitely up there... perhaps stealing the top spot from none other than Keg South. Apparently, the guy who opened this joint used to be the chef at Keg South and decided to split to open his own place. The food and the menu are the same but there is more space and outside seating as well.
Review Source:If your looking for a literal hole in the wall with great beer, wings, and beers this is your spot! Â My only complaint is the music! Â Turn it down and lets hear the games!
This place is great the food is great the music IS JUST TO LOUD! Â Like Led Zeppelin I can't hear myself full blast loud! Â Besides that I love it lol.
Hole In The Wall Pub is the kinda place that you can just be yourself.
No wrongs, just right. I'm sure Sam would have no problem if me and my Q showed up in Pj's. So long as we come with an appetite and a thirst, this dude abides.
Getting sloppy on weeknights has never been easier. Walk up to the bar, order you a pitcher, grab a table in or out and shit talk the night away. Juke box has some decent tunes from Alt to Country to Hip Hop and all that jazz.
Bob your head as you indulge in a death dog or a death burger and tame those flames with a frosty drafty brew. Now... Sam does not carry any craft brews, quelle sad, but you can definitely indulge in domestic and imported drafts.
Footloose and fancy free, we'll be rockin' out with our Amber Bocks out.
HITW- tasty food, cold brews, friendly peeps all on the cheap!
On my longggg list of Guilty Pleasures, burgers rank on the top 5. Â I LOVE burgers, its sick I know, a thick juicy half pound of meat, melted cheddar, tomato, grilled onions and of course BACON!!!! That's all it takes to satisfy this carnivore. Â
That said this past Friday while working/yelping I happen to search for "Best Burgers" in my Kendall area and Ta Da....recomendation, "Hole in the Wall Pub". Â
I have to agree with most of the other yelpers, this place is tinyyyy. Â 5 picnic tables inside, a long crowded bar and a couple of outside tables. Â That's it! Â Service wise the staff is friendly in a Cheers bar kinda way, don't expect a waiter catering to your every need. Â Its more of a "come pick up your fries and beer" kinda joint.
The Grub: Fireee! Huge mouth watering burgers with mountains of bacon and a heaping serving of ruffles. Â We also splurged on a giant basket of fries!!! Very yummy, very fattening, very satisfied!!!!
Last time I reviewed this place, i mentioned that I wished it were a bit bigger. Back then, I hadn't really appreciated the vibe that the size brought to the place. The petite establishment is amazing in its current size, making the bar feel more intimate and friendly environment. This environment is exponentially raised with the hospitality of Sam and his bar staff. Don't expect them to come to you. Most of the time you have to find them but they are always friendly and willing to help. I thought this service was a perfect compliment to the bar.
The food is as good as always. Huge chicken wings that compete with those of Sports Grill. And a no frills amazing cheeseburger without an fancy ingredients or add ons. The burger comes with chips but you can substitute this for fries for a dollar extra. The fries are fresh and delicious although I would have liked them a bit more if they were a little more firm and crunchy. Yet, they were still pretty good.
You can come here to drink some beers while watching your favorite sports (many TVs compared to the size of the place) or just hang out while listening to some VH1 classics while Sam jams out and cooks his great food. Still one of my favorite bars and I hope it never changes.
Saw this on yelp and decided to test it out...the wings are about what you get at sportsgrill, good size wings and very tasty, well cooked......My only complaint is that the minimum order is 10 pieces, so if by yourself, thats practically your meal, not an appetizer....the dolphin sandwich was big and tasty, wish they had that mango sauce option people talk about....the death dog was spicy enough,with a toasted bread, butterflied foot long dog, with cheese, special sauce and onions...its a low key place, hard to find behind a shoppping mall, hence the name;
tip: its through the italian restaurant. I will be going back often because of the friendly service, good bar food, and good prices. Portions are of good size. The second time I went I tried the burger, it had good taste, but the bun was too big for the patty I think.
The name says it all. Hole in the wall, literally. And it's the best one ever! If you go in looking for a simple, small bar that provides you with the necessities like different types of beer and some good burgers and sandwiches, this is the place for you.
It's like my best friend says, going to Hole in the wall feels like going to Sam's house and hanging out. Big flat screens are all over the bar so you can enjoy all types of sports that may be on.
There's a juxebox with a nice song selection. Also, there's some arcade games. It's the perfect place for a chill night with a couple of friends who are just looking to having a few beers and kicking it.
the besssssst!
The chicken wings are a creation that Chief Norm takes pride in! The hamburgers are fantastic but his fish sandwich with MANGO sauce (seasonal) is awesome!!!! But with anything that is cooked well, be prepared to wait and be patient because it is "a hole in the wall" , so do not be so critical of the servers, just have another frosty ice cold mug if beer and chill. That the type of place it is. Â Cheers!
Review Source:the name says it all... except maybe they should insert the words "perfect little" in front of their name... new name: perfect little hole in the wall pub!
great wings, cold beer, great management... they even let us play beer pong/flip cup outside!
will definitely go back here again for a little day drinking.
Sam, I love ya man but you lost a star with me, due to your server, who I will aptly name Mr. #€¥king Rockhead. Oh my God, fire him.
That being said, Sam the owner is the greatest guy, you after leaving Keg South (the original one). He started the Hole in the Wall Bar. He did to that what the Keg used to have. Iced cold mugs of Beer, and great service, except of Mr. $&€king Rockhead.
I would like Sam to experiment with better food items, there good but on par with the Keg, The  wings are better at the whole in the wall, but, Sammy you need a signature item. The atmosphere at the Hole in the Wall is what makes it such a special place. The employee's there are great, funny, and good natured. I know except for Mr. $&#king Rockhead.
Which gets me to my issue with him. I went to order chicken wings from him, not having a menu I asked him "what type do you have" he couldn't be least helpful, as he doodled on the order, he said look are chef is leaving and a new one is coming in, so why don't you come back in twent minutes. Hey your a big help. I guess you don't know the concepts of working on tips. I really am loosing my patents with idiots, especially when there surrounded by such great hard working people.
The concept is to have fun at work, make friends, you'll actually go farther in life.
wow wow wow wow wow
this place is amazing!
their wings are the most deliciouse things iv had in a while! and their honey bbq sauce tastes home made (because it porb is)
the owner is found behind the bar either serving or cooking....(he use to work at keg south so imagine yumm)
so you get there and you have to go order at the bar...only the people outside occasionally get their food taken to them...but trust me this is not a problem at all! Â because once u try anything they make its def worth the wait and the fact you have to get up to get it urself......
everything coming out of the kitchen just made me gain weight by looking at it....
as stated it is a hole in the wall hidden off to the back of a plaza that has other great restaurants and snack shops but the smell of their kitchen overpowers the whole south eastern corner of the parking lot....
highly recomended iv been craving these wings since we went accidently and since have been telling everyone else to go too ..... cant wait till tomorrow i think wer gonna go explor new menu items!!! woot woot!
we had a burger and wings and both were quite spectacular....
So, eventually people are going to complain that there isn't enough space in the place but it is a Hole in The Wall. Â
Food is great and it's hard to beat the Wings, Fish Dip and Fries. Â Go with that combination and a Frosty Mug and it won't dissapoint.
Well, if your a Gator Fan you do have to put up with the fact that the chips are UM colors but what can you do? Â
Friendly staff as well and this is definitely a place that people will know your name.
The word is starting to get out on this place so I'd try it for a lunch first.
What a cool little place! It used to be "Hole in the Wall Subs." A former bartender from Keg South bought it and changed it into a little pub. He is the nicest guy ever. He definitely treats his customers right.
The food is super tasty. The selection is your  typical pub food: burgers, chicken sandwiches, fish sandwiches, chicken wings, fish dip, and fries. The chicken wings are the best around (especially the BBQ ones). Oh, and they never skimp. It is always a hefty portion!
Well, even with all the positive there is a slight downside. It is quite literally a HOLE IN THE WALL. It is small and does get packed at night. It is worth it though. Definitely check this place out if you are looking for a low-key night with some friends. Good stuff.
