This place has been here forever (or does it just seem that long)!
It's truly a unique find- an actual neighborhood bar in south Florida. The regulars around the bar have been there for decades. The bartenders know everyone and are often regulars themselves. There is a wall featuring former patrons who have gone to that great pub in the sky. The ceiling is yellowed from decades of smoking but the bar stools are comfortable and the AC is always cranking.
High points:
1.Cheep drinks- I mean cheep! Find me another place that serves $1.50 beers in frosted mugs!
2. Friendly staff and customers. Go in there twice and they know your name.
3. Safe. Looks rough but this place is a former COP bar and they don't tolerate any shenanigans. Plus cameras outside with monitors inside so you can watch your car as you drink.
Minuses:
1. Smoking- sometimes it gets overwhelming, that's when I kindly run.
2. No food. Peanuts or a bag of Doritos (But sometimes they bring food in for special occasions- on the house!).
I do love this place and can't think of another pub to spend a summer afternoon hiding from the heat and the rain.
Check it out!
Possibly the Mecca of all dive bars in Miami-Dade and Broward. It's just an old seedy bar set in a seedy part of North Miami Beach on West Dixie. The people inside...yup, seedy.
The bartender, Randa, has been around the NMB bar scene since Jesus wore pampers and can serve it up REALLY nice! There's no corporate measurements going on in this joint!!
Every dude in the place sports a 70's porn mustache and every foxy lady is over 55, has Walgreens-dyed blonde hair, bitches about their ex-husband(s) and has that oh-so-attractive smokers' cough....you know the one.
I'm usually quite descriptive in my reviews with the environment and decor of certain places but I am hard pressed to find the right words for the Nite Cap. Probably because there is just SO MUCH going on that you just have to see it for yourself...my words cannot do this place any justice whatsoever.
The place is small and dark and is filled to the nicotine stained ceiling with pure AWESOMENESS!!! This IS the definition of "Dive Bar". Enter at your own risk, singles...a dirty grandma and/or a pervy grandpa may wanna take ya home for the night. (Or maybe just an "old fashioned" in the men's restroom)
