It's been a long time since we've found a great Happy Hour spot. Â This is it! Â My husband and I came hoping it would live up to the positive reviews and it far surpassed our expectations! Â Parking is easy and free (if you park in their lot and get your voucher validated). Â We came on a Friday and it wasn't super packed and the ladies working the bar were super pleasant! Â Half off drinks during Happy Hour (2-7 M-F) and great deals on snacks with purchase of drinks. Â All together we had three martinis, four beers, and three apps for $27. Â We were so pleased with the experience, we tipped $10 and still felt like we got a steal on our Friday evening out! Â We will definitely be back!
Review Source:Came here late night because I called and was informed that both the bar and kitchen will be open till 3am. Wasn't even 2am and I had a craving for something to eat. I sat outside for about 4minutes before I decided to go inside and let whoever working know I was hungry and wanted some service! The bartender informed me that the kitchen was closed. I asked to speak with a manager because I literally called 8min before and was assured the kitchen was open. The manager came over, didn't introduce herself and asked what MY problem was. "Well I just drove here because a gentleman answered the phone and told me you were serving food." Manager: "Impossible" Me: "this is your number, right?" (Showing her the number I called). The Manager replies that she doesn't know the number to the bar but she knows the one for corporate!! What manager doesn't know the phone number to an establishment that she manages!? She then proceeded to rudely tell me that Matt, the guy sweeping the floor is the only guy working tonight and "HE WOULD NEVER TELL ME THAT BECAUSE HE OPENS AND CLOSES THE KITCHEN"!! I was taken aback immediately! Does she think I would get out of bed at 1:45am and drive there hoping they served food!? Def NOT! I then asked why she was being so aggressive towards me as I'm simply explaining to her the situation and I don't think as a patron I should be spoken to in that matter! Without apologizing she points her finger out the door and says "Irish Times is selling food till 5am, its down the street!!"
I'd like to say, as upset as I was, I went to Irish Times and I'd like to thank that bitch of a manager because I had a great meal, full menu, and awesome drinks served to me in a timely manner by friendly staff! Hands down I will never go back to Sunset Tavern any time of the day or night and  will now walk down the street elsewhere!
Met some old friends while visiting my old hometown. Very impressed with wait staff, (thanks Susan). Food was ordered and out pretty fast considering the place was packed on  St.Paddy's Day. They had a great band. Drink specials were fair priced. They brought out shots/drinks for our group several times and they were always perfect.
Really liked the atmosphere, bistro style, and inside the bar looked kinda "dive-ish" but clean. Mens room is typical, needs some renovation. Very friendly patrons and staff. Wish I had a place like this near my home now.
I highly recommend.
Only been here once before and sat outside for a quick bite. Â The other evening we met up with some awesome friends. Â We all went inside and grabbed a few tables. Â Our waitress was great, she took our drink and food order's quickly and checked on us often.
The inside reminds me of a typical dive bar, old, large bar area, not so pretty restrooms, it even smells like a bar. Â No matter they have a fantastic happy hour with $1 food items, one per drink. Â We ordered chicken quesadilla's, truffle fries, sliders, and a few other items. Â I was drinking margarita's, as it is my cocktail of choice usually if not drinking wine. Â They were not mixed properly so when I got around half way it was all tequila......oh now that was potent stuff. Next one I made sure to stir good.
We had some lemon drop shot's with a sugar rim, they were fantastic! Â The food and drinks were all very good. Â Great place to meet up with friends, no frills just a good time in a comfy bar.
Four star's for such great service, good food, decent cocktails and a great happy hour menu. Â It was FUN!
This place had me at outside seating and pressed duck sandwich. I'm also a  fan of any place that serves breakfast options all day because that's how I roll.
The drinks are always priced well but happy hour is a huge plus. Â The menu has your basic bar food and then some ( pressed duck sandwich people! ) and they also recently added a "fit lite" menu for the calorie conscious. I've been here a bunch of times and always gotten great service too. This is one of my go to spots for impromptu, relaxed group outings.
Sunset Tavern, you had me at Happy Hour. I love this place, even with out happy hour the drinks are well serviced and well priced. I've been here a bunch of times and each server I get, I've had awesome service. This is THE spot for me for a happy hour hang out, especially on Fridays when they have the $1 apps special. The atmosphere here is so chill. Every time I've gone there's always people,but its never been packed (I hate that)
I've also been here during the day when its Deli Lane and had their breakfast and still got the same quality service.
This place is great to just chill out with friends and have a couple drinks. They're moderately priced though I'd say pretty amazing considering the area they're in.
I've been here a few times and my drinks are almost always amazing. Not to mention they don't skimp on the liquor.
I have yet to try any of the actual food so I'll have to come back and edit this review one day.
Went today during Happy Hour and took advantage of the half price drinks. Additionally, took advantage of their $1 menu which they have during happy hour. If you order alcohol then you can choose 5-6 different items for only $1. Got the truffle fries and the buffalo fingers. Both were good, but as expected, nothing too crazy.
For dinner I ordered the same thing I always do - the Pressed Duck sandwich. I absolutely love this sandwich and it is the only thing I ever order when I go there. I highly recommend!
Deli Lane, you've got some history in Miami. I always like to come here for brunch once in a while. The last time I was here was a couple of years ago before I moved, so it was nice to have the chance to stop by again while visiting Miami this spring.
We came on Easter Sunday and surprisingly were seated without too long of a wait. My friend and I shared a couple of items, which they very thoughtfully split on different plates for us. I've never been disappointed with the food here and it's great that they have live music. Our server was good, attentive. My only qualm was we wanted to have the Sunday Bloody Mary special. The server upselled us on the Peppar instead of regular Absolute, which would have been considerate of him to also mention the up charge! I felt that was a little deceptive on his part, especially since it was a significant difference. Boo on you for that.
A little skeptical at first but we really needed to catch the heat game on time so we decided to give it a try. Thanks to the earlier yelpers, the slow service didnt come as a surprise...its ok though, I had patience because even though they were a little slow, they were very accommodating. The place is split in two and since the main area was packed, we ate at the sports bar side.
I had the grilled veggie wrap which was good but lacked a little bit of flavor....maybe some sauce. I had french fries as a side and was OVERWHELMED to see that they had malt vineger and good MV at that! They have a decent beer selection and a particular belgium wheat beer that I found to be light and comfortably spicy....very appropriate for the cooler weather.
Came here for breakfast on a saturday after debating whether I wanted sweet or salty. I was set of french toast. But as soon as I saw the menu, I couldn't help but see all of their other breakfast staples. I also saw that during the week, they have a sweet deal of pancakes, eggs, toast, ham or bacon, etc... all for around 5 bucks.
Damn, missed it by a day. So instead I order my french toast and one extra poached egg with a side of hollandaise sauce. It wasn't bad but, I could tell I had just made up something ridiculous from the menu, and the cooks made it haphazardly. Oh, well. I'll be back for that epic breakfast deal!
This is a fun little place to hang on a weekend night. It is not a hopping joint, more of a place for some down-time with good friends.
If you are hungry, I must insist you try the pressed duck sandwich. It is one of the most delicious things I have ever tasted.
They have some decent beer special. They also make a killer bloody mary.
Enjoy!
Only been here a couple times but its always been a good one. Good mix of beers and all at good prices. The specials during games are especially nice. Never been there real late so I don't know what the 12 and after crew is like but early in the night everyone including the staff is very friendly and chill.
Don't know if its only Saturday but till 8 p.m. the pool table is free which is a big plus for me.
Ah Sunset Tavern, you bring me great joy in ways I never thought possible. Â First, it was the mongolians - as lethal as a four loko, w/o the crash as you're winding off - then your amazing happy hours where everything is half off plus you feed my face when my stomach starts to growl. Â Lastly, the tater tots, these tiny bundles of potato bring me back to days when heading to the cafeteria was the highlight of the day. Â Tater tots? Â What are you, a child? Â Yes, a man-child who loves perfectly fried tater tots, ketchup, and Chimays to the face. Â
Bartenders are never stingy with the a-a-a-a-a-alcohol and I find myself cringing at the first few sips. Their beer selection is good, not great and if you buy their $10 mug, every draft is 3 bux on Tuesdays - all day. Â Also, $1 PBRs (only the finest) on Wednesday nights.
Recently, I ordered the pressed duck w/ brie, onions, and apricot sauce on the side - I'm about to eat this keyboard. Â Breakfast/brunch is the best in the area, the challah :{ egg melt makes me want to marry a beautiful Jewish lady and have tons of little matzah balls. Â Maybe I'm being a bit bias, but this place has always treated me right and I've never had a complaint. Â If you decide to street park, be cognizant of the time; SoMi parking authority is no joke.
Note - Bring your lady Thursday nights (dollar dranks from 10pm to 1am), but beware, she will get mauled by the tortilleras in the restroom.
This South Miami staple stays open til 3am and in addition to beers and cocktails it also serves up a conversation conducive environment. Yes, it is often overrun by frat boys and the girls who love them but if you can ignore that then you're in the clear.
The plastic chairs and patio tables always seem somewhat comforting. It's South Miami's version of a modern dive bar.
Note: Past a certain time you will be carded even if you aren't drinking.
I would almost venture to say that I prefer this place over its other dive bar neighbors...
This place NEVER does me wrong! Â Buckets of beer? Â YES PLEASE! Â They have good drinks specials besides this, plus they serve yummy food, plus there are pool tables, plus a juke box, plus a really cute worker boy, plus awesome awesome staff who don't ever forget anything! Â (especially the nights I HAVE forgotten!!)
There is hardly ever too much of a crowd inside which is nice b/c I rarely have to fight for a table. Â Everytime I've been, I'm pretty sure I've met a new person randomly and I like that friendly atmosphere. Â
I've only ever been on Fridays so I don't know what the rest of the week offers but I'm gonna start skippin all the other places and start/end my nights here!
I've been here several times and its always been just alright until I went for happy hour on Friday. The drinks were half off ,their well vodka was Absolute which isn't so shabby. Happy hour also includes free food!! Oysters,shrimp, boneless wings, etc. They set it up buffet style. That was pretty awesome and not to mention it actually taste good. ( although my buzz might had a lot to do with the food tasting good)
Overall, it was a great Friday afternoon!!!
I used to love this place. I really did. But holy moly, has it gotten a little expensive??? And the food quality to me as not as good as before.
I have enjoyed this place for its easy going atmosphere, cheap beer specials and yummy food. But last night made me look around and question my old devotion.
Two of us ate and drink moderately/ lightly. Here is the break down,
3 small appetizers
3 Strongboughs
3 gin and tonics
Our bill??? 78 bucks! without tip.
Now. We have no problems with ever plopping down money for food and drinks. Its our piggy natures. But seriously??? The appetizers were sub par at best, G&T weak, and I can get a six pack of Strongbough for 8 bucks! Here they charged us 6.50 per. Â Definitely not worth the drive anymore or food. It just seemed like it was not worth the old devotion anymore at those prices and quality of food.
My favorite kind of bar -- TV screens for watching sports, a pool table in the corner, wooden booths and tables and two different kinds of Chimay.
A laminated calendar on the table reveals specials and events on almost every day of the week. Â On a Saturday afternoon, this place was empty. Â We were there for a beer and some grub. Â We purposely sidestepped enjoying the beautiful weather to sit outside at Deli Lane next door, only to realize that the two places are CONNECTED. Â We thought we'd get "bar food." Â
That's ok, because Deli Lane has good food! Â Our server was phenomenal. Â Attentive at JUST the right times, we thought she was a mind reader. Â Too bad there are more servers like her throughout Dade County.
Sunset Tavern is like Facebook incarnate. Every time I go, I run into a former, long lost, classmate who asks me to give them a quick rundown of the last 10 years of my life. They always finish with, "how are we NOT friends on Facebook?" Eesh.
I love this bar. Despite the smokiness indoors, they have a pool table and Anchor Steam on draft. The outdoor seating is perfect for a powwow amongst friends.
Last time I went was a Thursday which happened to coincide with "Ladies Night." After my friend unsuccessfully kicked game to some girl, I informed him they were all lesbians. Ladies Night is exclusively for the ladies, duh.
Can't believe I hadn't reviewed it yet! I'm a fan of the Tavern. Alongside Bougies and Fox's, Tavern completes the trifecta of my South Miami usual spots. And that's pretty much what went down last night when a couple of buddies and I decided to go catch the UM game. This place is great, their beer selection is pretty stellar for a dive bar, with more than 8 options on tab.
The food is just awesome, I had the Portabello Club because I hadn't eaten dinner and I was starving, and with their crispy french fries, it was just the perfect bite to grab with a pitcher. Like mentioned before, the fact that this is linked to the Deli Lane makes it a lethal combo. Good food, good beer, good music, good ambiance, decent people = Old school South Miami Gem.
The inside is "cozy", I really enjoy their jukebox which plays anything from heavy metal to the spice girls (that made a really interesting combination one night a long time ago when my friends and I went for one of their Bucket special nights).
The service is a toss up. Supported evidence has shown in the past that all female bartenders suffer from an incurable and continuous case of PMS, the waiters are cool for the most part, but kinda forgetful, so you gotta be very patient. All and all a great joint, never a bad night here.
My least favorite bar in the Town of Pleasant living. There is nothing really wrong with it, I just do not feel comfortable here and it is way too smoky; even just passing through, I stink of cigarettes for the rest of the night...
The few times I was not able to stay at an outside table, the pool table was always busy, a good number of, seemingly, regulars at the bar and rock music from the stereo. They also serve some free snack around happy hour time.
I like the outdoor seating that is connected to Deli Lane next door, but prefer to just go there directly. If I have a say in the cheap drink locale for the night, I choose Fox's or Bougie's up or down the road...
Drink specials... cool people and a laid back atmosphere... what more could any Miami local ask for in a bar...
I often visit the Sunset Tavern during the week just to catch up with friends or if I'm taming a craving for one of their yummy quesadilla's (southwestern hold the sprouts is my fav)!!
They've recently been trying to spruce the place up a bit, but they haven't taken away from its charm...
This is my favorite bar in South Miami and I love how relaxed this place is. You can either sit inside, outside, or at the bar and the staff is usually pretty friendly. The food is suprisingly delicious since it is brought straight over from Deli Lane next door.
My favorite is to try the Drink of the Day since it's usually some sort of fruity concoction and at a cheaper price that usual cocktails. Last time I also noticed that they have free food buffet's sometimes during happy hour - that's definitely something to check out! I really don't know what more you could ask for at your local Tavern.
Came here for their first ever Beer Tasting Event last Thursday.
The event, overall, I enjoyed. They explained all the beers and where they were from and the history of the breweries. They had giveaways and trivia questions. Very fun.
The food: not so great. We (the bf and I) ordered the potato skins. OMG! The worst potato skins ever! We also sampled their buffalo wings and barbecue wings. Buffalo wings were TOO salty and not good at all. The barbecue wings were better but not great. The chicken panini and fries were good. Ok. The chicken panini was VERY good and the fries were ok. Made me wish we had gone to The Irish Times for food.
The service: good. I mean they were VERY attentive. However, I asked for a beer, Brooklyn Lager, which I mistook for another beer I liked in the tasting. So, I asked our waitress if she could please exchange it (partnered with a million apologies. I never want to piss off a waiter/tress). She then proceeded to give me major attitude for the remainder of our stay. The other two waiters we had, which had to fetch her plenty of times, were MUCH better.
So, good for drinks. Especially for their tasting events. Not good for food. And ok service.
I would recommend their tastings. Pretty cool.
My 30-mile journey from North Miami-Dade to South Miami to attend a yelp beer tasting was met with utter disappointment when I arrived an hour and a half after the tasting started - sorry Maria!
So, to salvage the lenthy, 45-minute trip, I hung out and had a few rounds at this cozy bar with plenty of beers on tap - and bottle - for the purest of beer lovers.
As I arrived, I circled the area to find off-street parking, which was pretty tight. The place is nice and spacious  - it was ladies night - so I had to wear a wristband. Don't know what that was about since, obviously, I'm not a lady.
The service was pretty good despite the place being close to jam-packed. And the beer was cold and fresh. The men's bathroom was a bit dirty and messy, but since it was my first time there, Â maybe it was a one-time thing.
There's also an outdoor seating area  for those brave enough to down a cold one is suffocating humidity. The jukebox had plenty of good tunes and the vibe was pretty inviting.  Not my favorite place but a reasonable watering hole to have a beer and some wings.
Based on my first-time experience with Sunset Tavern, I can say I'm a fan. I went for a close friends birthday party and the whole event was very successful. The waiters were friendly and attentive and didn't seem to be annoyed by the amount of people packed into the two booths we had.
The bartenders were also quick with the drinks and more than happy to give out plenty of limes, straws, napkins and other drink necessaries.
The music was great, albeit a bit loud for how small the place is.
The outside seating looks perfect for those groups that aren't into the indoor ruckus.
All in all, I think I'll be coming back soon to check out food offerings and weeknight specials. :D
Sunset Tavern, much like everything in life, should be taken in moderation. Â Damn near half the time I go here, I end up at BT's, whether I want to or not. Â The late night menu is getting a little weak, but it's still decent food for decent prices. Â The Tavern isn't short on redeeming qualities, though...they're open til 5, boast cheap drinks, beers on tap, they're close to my house and have copious amounts of covered outdoor seating. Â It's very much a late-night locals dive, as i can't throw a rock in there without hitting someone I know.
IMPORTANT: Thursday nights are ladies night....but really...THURSDAY NIGHT IS LESBIAN NIGHT. Â Don't get your panties in a bunch when you show up looking to score and realize all the girls with shaved heads aren't into your chest hair.
TIP: Ask about the nightly drink specials, they've always got 'em.
Haven't been to this place in a while until last night. A few of us Yelpers headed here after the Yelp Event at Irish Times and enjoyed some good food (I ordered the Veggie Quesadilla) and drinks.
Service can be a bit of a wait, but it's nothing to really get too peeved about. They also had a live performer inside singing 90's classics. Overall I've always enjoyed this place. Just a place to sit back and relax with great food, drinks, and company.
Plus, there's one thing I think will never get old while sitting outside this place - seeing all the horribly executed parallel parking attempts
As everyone says the food is the best part about this place.  I ordered the chicken wings the last ime I was there and they do not offer different heat levels and they sure were hot, which is the way I like them, but be careful if you do not like spicy foods.  I say just go for a good meal and sit outside and enjoy the weather as I have never found the bartenders  inside to be very friendly, but the inside is not too bad if you are going with someone you want to have a conversation with.
Review Source:Sunset Tavern is the bar that adjoins Deli Lane down in South Miami. Â You can get their whole menu in the bar though, in case you don't want to sit out on the patio in the sweltering summer heat.
The Tav (as my friends and I affectionately called it) used to have Ladies' Night on Thursdays, but I'm not sure if they still do. Â My old roommate used to frequent it 'cause she could stumble back to our apt without worrying about drunk driving or cab money. Â Unfortunately, I used to have class way too early on Fri mornings, so I didn't get to go as often as I'd like. Â Though, on any night, the Tav is great for good, cheap beer, and delicious food.
Sunset Tavern is your everyday bar with a pool table, big booths and a pretty big outdoor seating area. The bartenders are quick and make good CHEAP drinks.
Thursday night is ladies night (2 hours of free well drinks and beer for the girls) -- you'll find your local miami lesbian drama there in large doses. if you're homophobic stay away. if you're one of the few miami lesbos with class, you'll learn to stay away as well (present company included ;) If you can't tell who are the lesbians, they'll be the ones drinking bud light.
Anyway--- my favorite time to go to sunset tavern is on sunday mornings for the eggs benedict.... Sunset Tavern is attached to the restaurant portion called Deli Lane. You'll see people waiting forever on saturdays and sundays to get a table, but you can actually just go in and grab a booth inside Sunset Tavern and get served the same food. The downside-- the service sucks and is super slow and if you sit inside, there may be smoking.
This is another one of those bars that if it was anywhere else in the United States, it might not be that big a deal. Â But, like alot of "normal" places in Miami, it's a diamond in a rough simply because you can hear yourself speak and it's not over-run with meat-heads.
In any case, Sunset Tavern has outside seating, which, in non-South Beach Miami, believe it or not, is rather rare. Â The jukebox is good, and the drinks are cheap(-ish). Â More importantly, both inside and outside the bar, you can actually hear yourself speak! Â What a concept!
Plus, my friend Heather works there, and she is cuh-ute. Â But I don't know if she's single. Â There are other cute waitresses there too, though.
